1000 Trivialities is firmly committed to DIY culture. We send infernal hails to those who defy homogenization of culture and resist psychic death. It is in that spirit we introduce you to the fine people at Shirts and Destroy.
Shirts and Destroy is an international art and music collective. A menagerie of tattoo artists (Thomas Hooper, Chris Conn, King Avenue to name a few), bands (All Pigs Must Die, Nachmystium and Wolfbrigade among others), artists (David Cook, Arik Roper and Florian Bertmer and friends) and other misfits all contribute to keep the collective viable.
In their own words:
“Shirts & Destroy is an ever expanding and evolving team of artists, designers, tattooers, musicians, screen printers, giclee printers, illustrators and other creative minded contributors. We produce, publish, manufacture and offer to our customers fine art and high quality boutique style music merchandise.
Our mission is to support true underground artists and musicians before their ideas are inevitably co-opted, copied and watered down to be sold in shopping malls.
Contributors of Shirts & Destroy invest no money and recoup 80% of the profits from sales after production costs. Our customers directly support the artists and musicians on our roster and we work hand in hand to ensure the artistic integrity of our contributors endeavours is always intact.”
Check them out online here or, if you find yourself in Brooklyn, pop into their new bricks and mortor shop at 293 Manhattan ave Brooklyn, NY.
The world will forever owe them a debt of gratitude for (via their imprint label Nonbeliever) releasing the All Pigs Must Die Ep.
