I'm looking for band shirts, namely Bullet for My Valentine. I want to get a site where i can get one shipped for maybe 15 bucks total cost to me. I don't use Ebay, so maybe someone can suggest another site...?

Not sure if they have Bullet shirts, but they have tons of bands from the Metal/Hardcore/Screamo/Indie scene.

Thats where i get my shirts online.

Even though I used to work for the enemy, I fully back Interpunk.

Indeed. They've both got their strong points, but if it comes to buying merch, I'd go with Interpunk. Their shipping is a little more reasonable, though since they're still a pretty indie company, you're not going to get much in the way of discounts. Lots of free stuff though with orders, and one hell of a selection.

If at all possible, buy merch when the bands come through your area on tour. Most bands these days make the bulk of their money on merchandise and touring, and with gas prices how they are, bands need all of the help they can get.

Others that are pretty awesome...
www.revhq.com - Revelation Records. Good for punk bands, though they carry everything.
www.cinderblock.com - Cinder Block Merch. Some stuff is high, but there's some cheap shirts to be had ($5-10) depending on what you're into. Shipping looks to be $5-ish for a shirt.

Odd you bring them up, saw them on tour with Dethklok less then a week ago. Not bad, but better then I thought. Also YES this site is trustable. Ordered some Alexisonfire and Johnny Truant shirts from them and they came in, in about a week or two.

Also, I'll see if any of my sites have Bullet for My Valentine shirts...

^oh snap, I may buy from them! Thanks

Wish they'd head over here in Kalifornya. I'd go.

Edit: Aww man... sold out. :(

Oh yes! If buying a hoodie from them, unless you like it a bit extra snug get it in the next largest size from what you usually get.

*EDIT: Also no go on the Bullet For My Valentine shirts, but if need any others I can look in my bookmarks*

Nah, Unfortunately, I'd rather have a t-shirt and unfortunately, my usual size is Medium.
Sucks... Thanks though, I'll keep an eye on them. I like the Dead Inside (for my geeky side) and the Steel t-shirt.

Agreed, cheap and ship fast, but only problem is majority of their shirts (for better or worse) come in large or XL (or larger). That and they rarely restock.

Man, I suddenly realize I have awkward, useless knowledge in t-shirt stores.

damn, no luck so far anywhere else. Well, i'll keep watching this topic for sites that do have good prices on them. Sadly, if i remember correctly, their record label's site didnt have them.

For all you people into bands like Bodom and In Flames check this site out. They have shirts that are only avaliable from Gigantour (and I haven't seen them anywhere else), plus occasionally have weekly specials. Though really best bet for metal shirts.

http://www.indiemerchstore.com/

DAMN GOOD place for Metal Blade Record bands (WOOOO BLACK DAHLIA MURDER!) and other small assorted groups. Plus they do occasionally have $3 clearance sales to make room from their old inventory.

For ALOT less known metal bands I want to say, check here.

Alright, those are the best ones I got or I frequent at least.

I actually found a couple shirts I liked...then I realized the sizes were XXL and XXXL. :roll: A medium or small is what I wear.

Yeah, my friend was pretty bummed about that because it's hard to find good cheap NIN shirts without resorting to Hot Topic clearance sections. Pfft, who says America is overweight when small and medium shirts always sell out first?

Great thread guys! I was wondering something similar. I've been wanting to get a couple more NIN shirts, though I have several. I tried going through NIN's website, but it seems that they don't have my size (M-L), and everything is mostly leftovers.

Can anyone recommend a site for NIN and Flogging Molly t-shirts?

The boys at Smartpunk just threw up a bunch of clearance shirts (most under $10, some as low as $2). There's mostly stuff from bands that you probably haven't really heard of, but there's a few gems in there as well as some good deals from Hurley. It's essentially a warehouse clearout (a lot of XL's and youth sizes), but you might find something you like.

If you want Bullet shirts, they ARE heading on tour pretty soon, so catch them then and as JJSP said, bands make most of their money from Merchandise, especially at shows.

Which reminds me, you're going on tour soon, no? Good luck and stay safe. Here's to good crowds and good shows!

Everything before was between $13.50 and $16, give or take. A lot of the clearance stuff has been there for quite some time - not surprisingly, the bulk of their obscure merch seems to go overseas. Italy apparently loves random hardcore and punk bands.

Some of those I remember counting during inventory at least three or four times.

This, I haven't bought from them in a while so it seems there prices have gone up a little but still pretty good. I used to buy 10 buck band shirts all the time from them.
