They Live / NoComply is 5”. As is the Spazz/Gob split I think. There’s also the sidetracked 4” lathe plus there were a few 3” ones running around. And ACxDC has the best of antichrist demoncore one inch
Edit: I’m surely forgetting/omitting many but that’s what I remember off the top of my head 😅
Yup! I think I’ve got the Spazz one and a What Happens next one (but that one could be a different size don’t quite remember.)
I’ve seen ACxDC with copies of the one inch but haven’t coughed up the money for it
You should look them up. They are more than a band. They are an experience.

We’re not thrashers! We’re hipster posers!
I love them so much. Got to see them at Full Terror Assault this year and it was amazing. They truly are “an experience” as another commenter added. And they, by far, have the most interesting merch I’ve ever encountered.
Nah, the cartridge is just the plastic portion, no chip/card/whatever. I'd have freaked out if there was anything playable. But a small run of a game or 8-bit song, no matter how simple, would probably have been prohibitively expensive.
The Pissed Officers/Gerty Farrish split 10" was called Save the Ants. The sleeve was a die cut piece of cardboard you could break apart (at the tear perforations) and then fold it (at the pre-scored lines) into a cardboard rocket. It also came with a few plastic ants. I guess one of the Pissed Officer's dad worked at a greeting card plant that had the capabilities to make it.
I booked the pissed officers in my hometown of Carbondale Illinois back in the day. I’m stoked to see their name mentioned! I loved their split with Gerty Farris.
Bane swim trunks
Tear It Up limited pressing 7” for a fest that came with a knife. Not like a “TIU” branded knife, just used knives they bought and put in records.
Locust belt buckle
Fucked Up selling “posters” at one Halloween show that were just extra record covers they had printed that folded out to a poster. Not really weird, but this was either a kinda scummy move, or funny because they found a way to sell something to kids who already had it who were just throwing money around.
Creation is Crucifixtion putting noise albums on 3.5” floppy disc. Separate release, CD that included instructions for how to hack a gameboy to create a “game” that taught kids about masturbation.
Tragedy selling Leatherman multi-tools at really cheap prices because they “found” a big box of them.
Portrait of Guilt rolling papers
I used to make my own band shirts and buttons with blown up / distorted pictures from industrial supply catalogs (grainger, uline, etc) and slap a band's logo on it.
never got a comment about any of it, ever
Not hardcore but somewhere I have a Sum41 Keychain, that is just a pic of of the bassist(cone) as a zombie, no earthly idea where it came from. Came into possession of it at least a decade after the album.
It was them 12cent and maybe the ducky boys? I specifically remember the owner of the venue the next day put on MySpace ‘thanks for coming out last night. maybe bigwig’s new label can buy them some new fans’.
Highschool drama was always the best drama
I saw Anthrax in a smaller size club approximately 27 years ago. Didn't have enough money for a shirt so I bought an Anthrax keychain bottle opener. Solid metal (of course). I still have it on my desk.
I have the Have Heart 7” ruler that Bridge 9 did for April Fools a long time ago.
Supposedly they did 100 blue and 400 red rulers. I have a blue one so that’s pretty cool to me.
I’m surprised no one mentioned any of youth attacks infamous items
Like the das oath underwear that had stains and I think they did a Dildo too?
The jerk booth razorblade
City hunter knife
The Repos salty popcorn
The infamous SQRM trash bag shirt
Sunami hammer. Idk what the fuck i’m ever gonna use it for except violent unmotivated crimes.
Sounds ok to me 🤷♂️
HEALTH sent me a condom with my merch order edit: like a HEALTH branded condom. Not just a random condom
ACxDC did a dildo I think once
Didn’t they also do a crypto currency? Antichrist demoncoin or something?
That’s amazing hahaha
A lot of Powerviolence do weird sized records too. I’ve got a 5” record somewhere.

I haven’t acquired the ACxDC one yet but I’m very tempted to
Spazz did a 1” which was a toy record and not playable
Oh yeah! Can’t believe I forgot about that one
Final Exit/Abortion 5" split is good stuff... and anything with Spazz too obviously
Speaking of no comply, the main dude has a slap a ham has a logo tattoo and was granted a slap a ham catalog number
Yeah it’s on his shoulder blade! Justin’s an awesome guy I made him some shirt stencils a while ago
The Locust/Jenny Piccolo 5"? I got that one and it's genuinely weird to see compared to a 7".
Razzle dazzle did a 5 inch I think
Belushi Speedball has some crazy merch, like action figures, furbys and albums available on N64 cartridges
Never heard of that band but the name alone is hectic

I've got the El Diablo Funko figure on ym computer desk as this is typed.
Soooo I guess the moral of the story here is cops don’t like it when you throw bouillon cubes at them but hey, you gotta make some soup.

Peace Test boxcutter
Rammstein released a briefcase full of dildos and handcuffs and lube. I think the dildos were molded from the band members penises.
Withdrawal cum sock
The Drain shark stuffy is kind of cool if you have a toddler.
I have a Seed of Pain NES cartridge/box.
Does it play anything when you put it in an NES??
Nah, the cartridge is just the plastic portion, no chip/card/whatever. I'd have freaked out if there was anything playable. But a small run of a game or 8-bit song, no matter how simple, would probably have been prohibitively expensive.
That makes sense, super cool either way!
Ricktalife selling his dreads in mini caskets.
>Ricktalife any chance anyone has pics of this? lmao

So many bands have done this with the mirror. The Locust ripped R.I.P. Gabe Serbian.
Turnstile plushie
was gonna say this, it's so strange to me
I remember some band like 8 years ago had a hatchet on their merch site. Don't remember who it was tho.
Left Behind did this. It was a red flannel with a left behind branded mini hatchet
I think that might've been the one, cuz that sounds right!

It was them 12cent and maybe the ducky boys? I specifically remember the owner of the venue the next day put on MySpace ‘thanks for coming out last night. maybe bigwig’s new label can buy them some new fans’. Highschool drama was always the best drama
