About the band:

Initial State was another band that didn't stick around long but left a mark on the 90s DIY punk scene. We first heard their track Die Silent on a No Idea records comp and were immediately hooked, trying to find out anything we could about them in the pre-internet world. It wasn't long before we caught a Clearview Records ad in MRR selling an Initial State full length called Abort the Soul. Long story short, the LP was amazing and we eventually realized that most of the band had also played together in Antischism, which explained why they were so good out the gate. 

Fast forward to a couple years ago and we got in touch with members of the band via mutual friends and secured approval to do shirts. We then heard from our old friend Pat of Passive Fist/Hyperrealist saying that he had some original unused artwork from the band. We met up in Atlanta and he handed off a 20 year old Kinko's envelope with the cut and paste goods. These designs come from those original pieces.

These are pre-orders, shirts will print and ship the last week of October.
