We're on a blog

The lovely people at teezine have written a cracking blog about how awesome we are. And you can read it here. You can also find us in their list of stores, which has a nice list of a bunch of other awesome online tee people.

Thanks very much Dejan!

Summer Sundae hook up bonanza

Hey, oof, it's been a while... What with summer finally arriving you'd be forgiven for thinking that we've been sunning ourselves on the continent and the like. Well yeah, ok, maybe some of us have, but this junk ball has still been rolling.

We did a pretty amazing photo shoot the other day. It was amazing in no small part to Paul Michael Hughes. And by no small part, I mean in super massive part. You can check out his efforts here and here a little bit.

We went to Truck Festival a couple of weekends back now, and that was as awesome as expected. So now we're taking our wares to the Summer Sundae Weekender. And if anyone fancies hooking up with us for a chat and a beer (we have a fridge), then we've decided if you mention the words JUNKSUNDAE to us and then buy a tee, we'll give another one all the price of absolutely bugger all. How's that for super t-shirt friendship eh?!

Dear Idiots...

... all these tees are shit.

At Summerjunk we're not totally against the slogan tee, but this is just the worst. And everywhere I go, it seems every other person is some brainless chump who's completely oblivious to the fact that this is not fucking funny, it never was, and especially isn't now. These pictures below took me approximately 8 seconds to find, and my broadband has been playing up. This is pretty much on a par with the 'Cunning Stunts' tees you used to see, and I thought things could only go up from there...

The thing is, I know people see others wearing these and think "Yes! That's brilliant". And there's nothing I can do about. So... rant over, I'm off to redesign the 'Frankie Says Relax' tee. No one's done that yet, have they?

Hanging around in toilets, littering, general misdemeanors

It's fine if we can't put beer mats at the bar, we get that and ok, maybe you can't be bothered to do anything on a Sunday. But anyways... We're spending the summer sticking it to the man. Sure it's in a pretty minor way, but damn it, we're showing them who's boss. Or at least who's got a load of flyers and posters and blue tack.

In My Short Sleeve

Hey, we're on a blog! We've got a blog and we're on another one what someone else wrote. That's right damn it. One of our previous subjects of a "hey-we're-a-big-fan-no-you-don't-have-to-ah-go-on-then-you-can-write-about-us-too" blog, inmyshortsleeve.com has done a right lovely write up of us.

It says here, that In My Short Sleeve is a site dedicated to the world of the beloved t-shirt. And they'd be right.

Read all about it....................... here.

Come On Football! (part 2)

There's been something of an influx of pretty decent football shirts over the last few weeks, can't think why... They're all in a fairly similar vain, but to be honest there's nothing better than big black and white prints on a white tee. Especially if it eradicates some of the meat-headed football nonsense over the next couple of weeks. Here's some of our favourites...

Some nice lion stuff going on here. Not exactly unobvious (is that a proper word?) but pretty smart nonetheless.

Some kind of pill with footballs in. Not sure why really but it's a better look than an England shirt covered in kebab and blood and sick.

Gazza! 1990! Crying like a baby. Classic image, although it does make this tee look like a vest.

A bit (well, a lot) like the first one, but just less lion-ey. I've often dreamt of having Geoff Hurst's hand on my shoulder, clutching that trophy. Or is it Bobby Moore? Or the other one...?

And finally... something shit. Can these t-shirts all piss off please? Apart from the Ferris Bueller one, that's genius.

Come On Football!

This hasn't really got anything to do with football, we're just dead excited about the World Cup tonight.

We've done some right good updating of the website over the last few days. We've managed to get a countdown timer and everything. So to celebrate we are offering our newest design - 'wearejunk' - at a discounted price while the clock is ticking (we might just reset the clock once it's run out, but is it worth the risk?).

And... there's still a few days left to enter our competition and win your very own ltd edition 'unity' tee. Just answer a preposterous question then sit back and wait.

Oh yeah, do you like us? You know, 'like' like? Because if you do then you should like us on facebook too. It's probably the first place that you'll hear about all new designs, competitions, what new trousers we've bought ourselves, that kind of thing. Unless of course you check the website daily for some reason. Oh yeah, follow us on twitter too while you're at it.

Anything else? Well yes. Listen to 'Mars' by Fake Blood. It's incredible.

Topshop makes me feel like death

A while ago I bought this tee from Topshop. Buying high street tees is not a practice that I often partake of unsurprisingly, but I really liked the design. It looks a bit Stars 'n' Stripes-eque and has skulls all over in a Mexican day of the dead style which is massive wins all round in my book. I got to wear it once to a gig which means sweat and washing straight away. And this simple process of buying-wearing-washing apparently means instant tee death now. It lost all its shape and kinda felt like it shrunk, but I reckon this is the cut getting lost somewhere in a world of soap-suds and fabric conditioner. I've worn it a couple of times since when doing some painting so there's gloss up the back, and it has now been relegated to girlfriend bedtime wear.

I never took it back, cuz you know it was like £14 or something and what's the point? Would they have even taken it back? Probably, but I reckon they're banking on people not really being bothered. It's a decent design which is the worst thing. I'd have paid twice as much happily, and then I'd still have it now.

We don't like it when other people do things by halves, and this is why we don't do it ourselves. I'm kinda loathe to write a blog saying how great we are, but then you must be reading this for a reason. So yeah, our stuff is great, and more expensive than Topshop, and you'll be able to wear it more than once.

We love Ryan Jarman

Ok, so the man who proclaimed 'the mainstream is death' (or something like that) might now be married to Kate Nash but we're going to have to get past that, because today we're giving our Summerjunk mini-salute to Ryan Jarman and his blood soaked style.

We've been listening to Ignore The Ignorant for a few months in the office now, and we weren't convinced it was The Cribs best at first (and probably still aren't) but it's slowly wormed it's noise-pop Wakefield way into our heads. Ryan might not be smashing his face up on quite as many microphones as he used to, but he still knows how to wear a good t-shirt and this is what we like to see. Does every band have to dress like self-assuming wankers? Well no, obviously not.

We could procrastinate in detail about his and Ms Nash's kooky celebrity-couple style, but we'd rather share a bloody nice picture and leave it at that.
