Original Sin, one half of G Dub, is making some killers right now. Pretty much, like, a new tune or two a month for the last couple quarters. G Dub played Germany’s Monkbreakz last month, download their set, it’s a real barn burner, b.

Part two of the Fall-2 Delivery T-shirts preview brings back an oldie but goodie the…

Cyrillic Trails

A year ago we started playing around more and more with logo based design centered around our Cyrillic Logo rather than soley focusing on the Bear Mop. The Cyrillic Trails was done as an online exclusive in small quantities and proved to be a big hit amongst fans.

Now we tend to  retire designs after they’re released, but that’s kind of hard to do when it’s your logo! So after repeated email requests, and it’s initial limited release we decided to add the Cyrillic Trails to our stable of logo designs. After deliberating over weather given the second chance if we wanted to tighten anything up on the design we felt it was perfect (in our eyes) to begin with and chose to just have fun with the color and gradient combos.

That whole K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid!) philosphy is worth it’s weight in gold!

Lio was a really sexy lady who became a European pop hit at seventeen for videos that make me so damn horny.

Doing the individual T-shirt previews proved to be a real fan favorite the last time we did it so I thought I’d continue it for all of the Fall-2 Delivery T-shirts. First up is…

Galactic Guardians

All of our graphics tell some sort of story however literal or metaphorical it may be. Like with the Fall-1 Overfiend shirt I wanted to place the viewer squarely in the middle of a story with this Galactic Guardians graphic. I wanted to give the viewer and wearer complete the cue to create a beginning & ending that they saw fit for whatever was transpiring at the moment.

Keeping with the Space Knight theme we set forth to do large scale space assault graphic! A battle in space with destroyed ships, pilots on com-links, laser blasts, an alien horde the whole works! While this would work great in comics, it’s not as easy of a comosition to get right for a T-shirt. Thankfully we had just the man for the job in illustrator Daniel Dussault.  He masterfully took a lot of our own visual language and inserted it into a composition that gave obvious nods to Macross & Voltron cartoons but also more importantly the Sega Genesis cult video game classic Target Earth (Assault Suits Leynos). A personal favorite of mine and his

I’d say that about a third of our office is completely obsessed with Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! I’m in that third so imagine my delight to find a brand new interview with Tim & Eric from this month’s The Believer Magazine.

For fans of the show it’s a pretty good and insightful read about how the actual show gets made and what is and isn’t funny, TV and their influence on sketch comedy. Those of you who have never seen Tim & Eric, well you’re freakin’ stupid and should go and buy the Season 1 DVD immediately!

I’m kind of ashamed at how long it took me to acknowledge and then finally listen to Carnivore. This came about when Damian from Fucked Up asked me if I liked Carnivore when he found up I grew up in Bensonhurst. I told him Pete Steele and Type O Negative kind of left a really bad taste in my mouth as a kid so I just never had any interest in hunting down and checking out Carnivore. Damain said that “was a shame”. Man was he ever right, what a mistake I had been making fo so long! Depriving myself of this sheer metal paradise, what a fool I had been!

Those of you like me who still solely associate Pete Steele with Type O Negative, and comical melodramatic Goth Metal, leave all of that at the door because Carnivore is NY Thrash of the highest order! Like most NY thrash bands Carnivore mixes equal parts Metal with Hardcore, but the real defining element for me is that they sneak so much Doom Metal into their songs. Songs will go on for blistering speeds and then seamlessly come to a grinding halt and drop to a deep sludgy pace as they build back up tension for another hard pounding Thrash assault.

Retaliation is Carnivore’s second and final album before disbanding. It’s political, tongue in cheek and just overall a brutal album! At the office whileit was on Brian at onepoint asked “If this was an early Fucked Up album?”. Until he said that I didn’t realize the influence nor how much of a mark Carnivore had left on Hardcore and Thrash!

Fall 2008 Second Delivery Lookbook (Click Here)

Continuing our mission to take you higher than you’ve ever been, The Skyway Tripper Collection is back with the final delivery for Fall 2008.  That’s right folks, prepare for an intergalactic assault on the senses from our fall two offerings, which is packed with pieces inspired by the cosmos and beyond.

For the tops category this season, we have a solid array of pieces for all different tastes. Taking our cues from the frigid northern winter is the Wood Goblin Flannel Shirt, which is complete with a fully quilted padded lining and available in some of our trademark color’s  Our flare for creative craftsmanship can also be seen clearly in its knitwear pieces, whether it is the elaborate tribute to Kraftwerk on the Man/Machine Sweater or the Skyway Cardigan, guaranteed to become a staple in the fall wardrobe.  For those of you looking for a dependable fleece, look no further than the Skyway Hoodie, a jacket inspired zip-up hooded sweater lined with flannel and finished off with horn button toggles.

Add a little class to the winter outfit with our traditionally inspired Skyway Wool Overcoat. From the subtle horn button toggles down the front to the warm flannel lining, this heavy weight jacket is full of stylish accents to warm the heart.  The attention to craftsmanship does not end on the inside as the overcoat is lined with black flannel for extra comfort and additional stash pockets.

Likewise, you can keep winter out with the Cosmic Freeze Puffy Bubble Jacket, a modern reinterpretation of the classic 70s era ski jacket.  This specific coat is made for maximum warmth and includes features like fully water resistant Teflon coating in addition to a 100% nylon shell that is lined with rip-stop nylon. With special details like Mishka engineered buttons throughout, tonal corduroy patches and a contrast piping envelop on each shoulder – enhancing the jacket’s flavorful vintage style.

Finally, making a come back for this season is the Spestnaz Tech Jacket, Mark II.  This piece has been re-vamped from last season and is now windproof, breathable and fully waterproof for up to 10,000 mm of pressure.  Complete with fully taped seams, a snow guard, under-arm vents, The Spetsnaz Mark II also has a brand new cut, making it more fitted than previous seasons.

No need to look for fifteen pieces of flare, we have buyers covered with just a few simple and stylish items.  Whether it’s the Skyway Hat and Glove Set with its delicately knit graphics or the striking Calvary New Era, Mishka’s fall accoutrements are perfect to pair with pieces from the rest of the collection.

And there is nothing better to accessorize within the winter layers than with a Mishka T-Shirt.  Whether under one our sweaters or long-sleeved shirts, you can take solace in knowing that we have them covered from their base layer to their last. But where are the Tees you say!? Well for a full look at the Fall 2008 Second Delivery T-Shirt offerings, head back here on Monday (Sept 29th) as we preview a new design each day!
