Hey here we go with another Black Friday, this time courtesy of our good friends at Ride The Rockett. We’ve featured before if you’re not familiar with their work, read it at Supersonic Tees at Rockett.

They deliver 110% over-the-top illustrated tees that turn heads till they twist off zombie killer style heh.

But here’s where it gets really exciting. RTR are offering a ginormous 40% off their products this Friday, now that’s a big deal worth raiding the piggy bank for something a little more extreme than the usual tees in your wardrobe. Just enter the code bozobux40 at the checkout, and if you spend more than $50 you’re automatically entered into their contest to win one tee from every collection in your size!!!

One small step for this reviewer, one giant leap for tee-kind, Rockett Clothing are exploring the deep space of fashion with a powerful crew of designers including quite a few members of the venerable Black Axe amongst their team. Before we blast off and go where no t-shirt reviews blog has gone before here’s a little background information on this amazing urban wear label.

Rockett Clothing was formed in Redlands, California 2003 by Rob with a little help from his wife, four dogs and friend Travis amongst the original crew, Rob found himself under great demand by bands like Eighteen Visions, Atreyu, Bleeding Through and others to design and print tees that rocked and he’s never looked back, no matter how beautiful the view. Rob used to be in a hardcore band of his own so he’s had plenty of experience of crappy merchandise that’s guaranteed to wipe the smile off any fan. Money was tight in those early days and Rockett lived cheek by jowl on a pitiful budget but with a groundswell of support from the Californian music scene it wasn’t long before the sales started pouring in. Suppliers can still blight the books, everything in the t-shirt business is paid for in advance so however wealthy they may be on paper there are always bills to pay. Over production and over partying can also force the label to bite the bullet from time to time, but no fear, Rocket Clothing are definitely here to stay no matter what.

They scour artists on the net including sites like Emptees.com to keep their collections fresh, and even manufacture their own tees these days. Expect to witness lots of drug-influenced zombies, parallel dimensions, long dark nights, B-movies, melting, dripping text and graphics, bizarre, blisteringly funny yet strangely intoxicating, their style has become (in)famous in the underground fashion scene. With artists like Derek Deal, Chris Sandlin, Colin Strandberg, Josh Stomberg, Filipe Olivera, Skull w/ Hair, and Electrik Suicide on their books you’re assured of a treat for the eyes, their dream being to ultimately bring back the tank top, who knows, it might happen, well okay it is happening lol. Check out their superb blog and of course their store at www.indiemerchstore.com/rockett. Oh yes and we have a discount code for you:- (Quote “duckduck15″ at the checkout for a 15% discount!)

5… 4… 3… 2… 1… and lift off with Ride The Rockett. read more
