We've just learned that pointy-headed Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford has unveiled his own clothing line. Unfortunately, Metal God Apparel is more hell bent for cotton tees than for anything leather. In fact, you can probably get similar "metal" apparel at Wal-Mart. Nothing like this, in other words.
Can you imagine even standing next to the guy in one of these dumpy shirts? Come on, Rob. Where's the leather suits with bullets and shit!?
Instead, if you're looking for some new rock threads, we know a local guy who's got something to show you.
Behold, the new offerings from Dumbercrombie and Smart, a catalog of goods designed by local musician John Bersuch via Cafepress. Bersuch, you may know, spits insane verse as MC Lethal D in Bacon Shoe and plays in many area bands, including Olympic Size and Tree. Explore Dumbercrombie at Cafepress.com/unibrown.
A few choice selections...
Delight your babymama with this lovely Amazing Bird Drummer maternity shirt!
Confuse visitors to your home or office with this Bason Jeers modern wall clock! Within the clock's sleek frame, local musician Jason Beers (the Brannock Device, Wylde Chipmunk & the Cuddly Poos) ... or maybe that's Mark Eitzel ... looks incredulously at a cartoon donkey!
Or maybe you've got a writer in your life who could use a little 'Toine-spiration.... If so, look no further than this writing tablet, featuring the only Bacon Shoe hype man who has every been compared to Kevin Federline.
Or cut to the chase with this knownigly hideous tee.
Says the product description: why would anyone wear a shirt this ugly? they wouldn't, so put down your fuzzy navel and do my fuckin' laundry. damn whore
When we reached Bersuch (via IM) for an explanation as to why he decided to start up this online store, he (or someone with his email password) responded: "i decided to launch my own clothing line because it fills a gap that the gap clothing store could never fill."
View more of Bersuch's artwork at his Flickr.
As for Halford, he's got gaps of his own to fill -- gaps involving whips and bullets and shitty T-shirts up the wazoo.
At least with Dumbercrombie, you'll get something unique. You'll probably also get beaten up, but that's the cost of fashion, yo.
