New Tees At Disturbia

Perhaps my favourite indie British t-shirt label has just released its Autumn/Winter collection of tees and yet again there are a few blinders on offer. If you love your colours day-glo and your illustration beautiful but gory, then you have to check out the new designs at Disturbia Clothing. They’ve even redesigned the whole site (yet again), I loved the old Marshall Amp style theme they had going on there but I have to admit their new logo is so crazy, so insane, I am more than duly placated on the shift in branding.

I’ve noticed I still haven’t wangled a permanent voucher code off these guys for our discounts section, I asked them a year or so ago but things were looking to tight at the time. Still, they seem to be on the up and up so fingers crossed I can get you lucky lucky people some savings real soon! In the meantime have a slaver over these Gothic beauties, all these tees are available in all sizes for guys and girls at £22 each… gore was never as beautiful as it is at Disturbia!

Vague Tee

If a blog is a marriage then I’m a bad husband, I know I neglect the girls here and should feature more tees for them, I suppose asides being a typical guy it comes down to all the choice women have in fashion blogs compared to guys. Still… could do better. Which is why I wanted to start off by featuring Disturbia’s Vague Tee. Yes it’s available for guys as well, but I predict this will be their biggest seller yet as a girl’s tee, it’s got it all, fashion, glamour, cynicism, and a general despair at the media and its divisive methods of making them feel dowdy with the aid of anorexics and computer magic.

Sirens Tee

Wowzers. Here are three babes, most likely belonging to the undead persuasion, so dutifully and intricately drawn it almost seems a shame to throw it in the wash. There are tees I wear to death, one of them happens to be a Disturbia t-shirt, this could well be another. Ouch, so good it hurts. Amazingly designed, the Sirens Tee is available for men and women at £22 each.

Zoltar Tee

Ever since seeing the cornball comedy launchpad for Tom Hanks career, the prospect of finding a Zoltar Machine like the one that’s featured in the movie ‘Big’ has haunted me. It’s probably the best arcade machine that was ever made, so creepy, so pointless. If I had so much money I didn’t need worry about the bills I’d hook up one of these to a stock market picks site and make a fortune. Of course if I could invent one that could promise eternal youth that would probably pull in a little more profit :p Cool as ****, as usual Disturbia have excelled themselves and they were already doing that before. This tee rocks… it rocks hard. Get it for girls and guys for £22 each in all sizes.

Akumu Ink aka Japanese Nightmare Tees!

I have left Dora from AkumuInk.com waiting in the wings for a few days whilst I took a brief but well deserved miniature t-shirt sabbatical -the truth is the best thing you can do when you’re hilt by the stultifying presence of mortality is to carry on doing what you did before, a little wiser, a little more focused than before, and so I want to give a mention to AkumuInk.com – a small but thriving independent Canadian t-shirt label offering something a little off the wall compared to most.

Akumu means Nightmare in Japanese. As Dora states – “We get our inspirations from Japanese horror movies and hardcore music. We translate these inspirations into large graphics that we screen print onto American Apparel t-shirts.” I’m a big fan of Japanese horror, in fact most Asian horror of the 1990′s and beyond have trashed anything on par from the States. Japanese horror dwells in places you wouldn’t want to dream, confronts ideas you’d rather not tackle, and delivers images that imprint on your subconscious far more deeply than any trash gore flick could manage. I was expecting to see some references to Original Japanese versions of The Ring or Ju-on: The Grudge, (not the awful American remakes), but copyright concerns mean t-shirt designers have to think “outside the box” when it comes to appropriated influences. read more

Justin at Short Bus Clothing has offered up his work for review and I have to admit it is certainly refreshing to see such a democratic approach to politics when it comes to t-shirt design. I am a confirmed lefty, if you haven’t noticed, I’d rather not take sides in all honesty as I, as well as at least a few more million lost souls out there have lost the will to live when it comes to electioneering. read more
