Will the new SW Anthem shirt that is for sale on the Striped Music store be available in the SW big cartel store? I would love to get that and not pay the international shipping.

I remember buying an original copy off the merch table at a show in Janesville WI. in 1993. Looking forward to the remaster and a new album in 2023.

This just made my day. Being as i don’t mess with the “socials” for a litany of reasons (invasion of privacy and deterioration of informed consent being the main ones.) ,i had no prior knowledge of an early “striped” pressing. Alas, i will now pay close attention to Todds Recess store and your BigCartel.

As a 30 year fan of this “tied for the best” SW full length, i am excited to hear different versions of the two most played out songs on this masterpiece.

Obviously that is through no fault of you Ben. Just the nature of timeless shit. Thank you for this alert!!!

To quote some old band from San Pedro, I have a “3-way tie”.

1) Anthem 4 New Tomorrow 2) Kill the Musicians (dont care it is comp. “technically”).

3) Television City Dream

Yeah fell in love w/Anthem , from beginning to finish shortly after its release.

Afterwards Wiggle replaced it in rotation. They then both became their own thing for me. Still is to this day. Similar to Boogada. Hard to rate those two.

A few years ago my cousin was able to explain Wiggle in a way i never could . Its darker, moodier & more ambitious than any SW or Jawbreaker album. And thats an accomplishment.
