Remaining funds will go toward monthly donations made by General Despair to Save a Gato(San Juan, Puerto Rico), Fauna Animal Sanctuary(Battle Creek, MI), Little Wanderers NYC(NY), Shelter Farm Sanctuary(Arcadia, FL), Woof Whiskers(Philippines), and Black Thornberry(Philadelphia, PA).

About the shirts:

White ink on black Gildan 540 (or similar) long sleeve shirt. Front, back, and sleeve prints.

About the band:

Around the same time death metal was putting Tampa on the map globally, Assuck were destroying stages(or floors) in the punk/hardcore underground on the way to their own worldwide recognition. They were hugely influential and personally helped many of us coming up behind them by taking us on tour, recording us, and putting out our records.

The Blindspot EP came out in 1992 and was the last record featuring all three original members(plus Pete Jay on bass), not counting the track Corners that was released on a No Idea comp in 1995. It continued the relentless assault of the Anticapital LP and added to the catalog of blistering metallic grindcore they were known for.

We know there are endless Assuck bootlegs available. These are the only shirts approved by members of the band: drummer Rob Proctor, original vocalist Paul Pavlovich(who did the art), and second vocalist Dave "Spinach" Malinsky. Accordingly, 100% OF PROFITS FROM THESE SHIRTS WILL BE DONATED to various charitable groups.

*for orders in Japan, please contact Grindharvest at https://instagram.com/grindharvest?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
They will be taking preorders and bundling into one package to save on shipping and make prices lower for Japan. Same donation amount remains in place.
