Why does everyone in a scene band think it's cool to open a merch store/clothing line?

this is a little different than merch store or clothing line, it's a way to help out bands developing their own merch and what not

I don't get why everyone does have a clothing line. I don't know his stake in Lost and Loveless. At least he's doing this and not touring on the same 8 DRUGS songs at least.

Did you read the press release at all? It's not a clothing line. It's a merch company.

And why so cynical? Everyone has a clothing line because people will buy their shit.

Ya I know what it is. Was talking about Lost & Loveless. It felt close enough to discuss at least.

It's not ''cool'', just a way to have a little income and to help younger artists have a stronger brand.

Good for him. Love Underminded and he seems like REALLY nice guy in the scene. I hope this does well.

thewebguy 09/13/12 02:01 PM

Arry 09/13/12 02:05 PM
wow, finally. a band dude opens up a business with a website that doesn't look like total shit.
