The Records Behind Our Designs

Our designs come from the same world as our records: Boston, straight edge and the people at the shows. Here are the records we made along the way.

What came first?

Our demo, 2003, came out in November 2003 on Bottled Up Records, a few months after our first show. Then came the What Counts EP on Think Fast! Records in 2004.

What are our full-lengths?

The Things We Carry: our first full-length, out August 8, 2006, on Bridge Nine Records.

Songs to Scream at the Sun: our second, out July 8, 2008, also on Bridge Nine. Kurt Ballou produced it, and it reached No. 193 on the Billboard 200.

In between, in 2008, Bridge Nine also put out our You Can't Go Home Again EP.

Is there a live record?

Yes. 10.17.09 is the live CD and DVD of our last show of that first run, on October 17, 2009, in Revere, Massachusetts. Bridge Nine released it on November 23, 2010. There's more about that night in another post on this blog.

How do the records connect to the merch?

The city: Boston runs through the records and through the designs. You'll find Boston hardcore, Boston straight edge and Boston, Massachusetts all over the collection.

The words: look for designs named Armed With a Mind, No Roses, No Skies and Something More Than Ink.

The crowd: some designs put the pit right on the front, photos from the shows where we played these songs.

Every design comes on tees, long sleeves, crewnecks and hoodies, in black or white, with kids' and youth sizes too.
