Source: NO its not for the website, its the band. I have literally never taken this record out of rotation since the 90's, it's that good. Before there was Obits, Hot Snakes, Drive Like Jehu, and Rocket from The Crypt there was Pitchfork. a short lived debut project of Rick Froberg and John Reese. the catalyst of all the other bands if you will. the nucleus of this very distinctive San Diego sound on Cargo Records. Its catchy, simple, fast, fun...its perfect. Every year when bands announce they are doing a reunion i hold my breath for this. i never got to see them and always wish some night at an obits show or hot snakes they will break out Saturn as an encore or something.
AND yes i did make this shirt myself. people ask me all the time do you make all of your shirts? the answer is no. but when you are doing a post a day it gets hard. you want to tai about different bands, or bands you love and they didn't make shirts or they are impossible to find so you have to make your own destiny. THAT and i absolutely LOVE rick Froberg Art. dude is amazing, has great style and an impeccable sense of humor and aesthetic. everything he makes is great design wise. a few are available in the store but i know none of you will buy them. you can regret that later tho, its up to you
I Can tell you that this will not be the last Pitchfork post you see this week thats how much i love this band. sorry in advance if you have bad taste and don't like Rick Froberg.
