Warped Tour Collaborations
Starting tomorrow Friday June 24th, both of these collaboration projects will be available at all Warped Tour dates this summer! Both bands will have their collab t-shirt available for purchase at their respective merchandise booths. These colorways are available ONLY on Warped Tour directly from the bands so if you're going, you better take advantage!
LOUD& OBNOXIOUS X WINDS OF PLAGUE - The "California" T-Shirt
With a new single about to drop from their recent full-length album "Against the World", we thought it was only appropriate to pay homage to the place we call home for this collaborative project. We've known the Winds of Plague guys for years since we were both very much involved in the local Southern California independent music scene. We went on to pursue business yet they kept grinding out the metal circuit. Now they're wreaking havoc on national levels like joining the Warped Tour roster.
Since band merch all looks pretty much the same lately, we wanted to take this project down another road. While still combining the darkness of a metal t-shirt and our brand's own aesthetic, we wanted to mimic the look of a California coast greetings card. In order to keep that feeling of doom that WOP is so synonymous for, this cheerful beach scene is actually in for a rude awakening with the approaching asteroid fireball on the horizon. Johnny Plague's lyrics read, "No matter where I go. No matter where I stay. I always come back. California." A fitting motto for any Californian.
Back of the shirt features both logos with another lyric from the record, "Me and you against the world," to signify our joint effort. For those of you paying attention, there's also a Cali-style Exclamations logo as well. Details, people. Details.
Lastly, Century Media Records was kind enough to offer a special link to download a FREE Summer Sampler including songs from several bands on their roster. You can find the link and password on the inside of the t-shirt when you purchase at Warped Tour!
LOUD& OBNOXIOUS X THE ACACIA STRAIN - The "Vincent" T-Shirt
Don't call him Vince. Really though, don't do it. He hates it. He hates everything, which made him the perfect focal point for our first collab project with The Acacia Strain. The infamous vocalist is known for his misanthropic lyrics and as the face of one of the heaviest bands to come out of the American independent music scene.
When Brian and I came up with the concept for this t-shirt, I literally texted Vincent and told him to send me a photo of him wearing our L&O Box Logo tee and I specifically told him to make THAT face. I guess we were all on the same page because when he sent the photo over to us, it was exactly what we were looking for. I love the fact that he's making this face yet performs in one of the most evil bands you can imagine. It's just one of those juxtapositions that shouldn't be ignored so I'm glad we went through with it. You may recognize the background from our Brick By Brick tee. This brick wall is an actual brick wall on our warehouse building, and not from Google. Also, there's a couple other L&O details that you should be able to pin-point pretty easily.
Deep down, we've all got a little hypebeast in us. This t-shirt is an ode to that with the classic black-and-white photo on the front of a familiar face, in this case Vincent Bennett. The back of the tee features Vincent's lyrics, "We are the reason there is blood on the ground," hand written by our very own Brian Obnoxious. NEVER DEAD PIT BEAST CREW.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that we officially did collaborations with the two heaviest bands to ever grace the stages of the legendary Warped Tour. In my opinion, that's pretty rad.
