prefacing this with I'm not necessarily punk, but I like customizing my clothes. and i wanna help other people find stuff for battle jackets! (and other stuff) I'm not the authority on this, but I still want to give my two cents!! also don't expect much more to this, my profile is pure cringe.

If anyone is starting out and I can help, I'd like too!!

The spike/stud dilemma

one of the biggest issues i've noticed is "where do I find studs/spikes without fast fashion??" which is totally fair. something like that shouldn't have to be a minefield. obviously if you buy from a small business that re-sells them from aliexpress you're still indirectly supporting aliexpress.

im sure there ARE slow fashion alternatives and if anyone knows some please let me know so I can add it!!

BUT here's what I'd recommend.

-goodwill bins, sometimes they have old clothes or broken belts, very rare though. also any thrift store or reclaimed craft store.

-Local businesses, sex shops

-metal paper fasteners

-borrowing. it's inevitable, I know. JOANNs is definitely the best selection imo, but Hobby Lobby is better to steal from. Because They are Terrible. Michael's is OK but less selection usually. They use peal off tags usually which are easy to remove.

-also if you're feeling extra insane, hot topic uses mainly ink tags, which can be removed with heat (look up tutorials on) or just cut off a stud/spike belt. their studs are pretty easy to remove. same with bracelets, they break a lot. ofc it depends on the place whether they use beep beep tags.

-ask people for broken shit!

TEXTILES (the easy part)

-fabric samples are easy to find for free online. get whatever colors you want, i usually stick to black, white, grey and 1-3 other colors. they're usually pretty small so order around until you find the right size. you want cotton and linen, usually upholstery if you're painting on them. if you're not or you're ok working with leather, leather is easy to find too. A lot of companies mentioned how stretchy your material is something not stretchy most cases.

-FACEBOOK!! A.K.A the boomer method. This is where I got almost all of mine!! I recommend downloading FREEBIE as well! I got mine thru that, it links to facebook, nextdoor, and so on. Ofc you can pay for them- but you don't have to! I have lifetime supply of textiles basically bc of this. A lot of people get them for hobbies or work.

-the goodwill bins!!!! you can absolutely find fabric there, it's pretty common actually

-you don't need to steal this tbh it's easy to find second hand and less wasteful

PAINTING

-Facebook, goodwill, or reclaimed/used craft stores if you have them

-borrowing (same places)

-use something like Painter Eye (AR tracing app) and draw out any complex band logos etc.

-you can also use sharpies or whatever nobody's stopping you

Other stuff

-one of the best ways to find stuff is just GO FOR A WALK! Find little shiny objects!

-hardware stores are good so are army surplus

Being in a smaller pit at a local venue is great because you can see a hot guy and be like wow! And then just fucking shove the shit out of him or be like wow! That’s a cool band! And then ALSO shove the shit out of them-

Have you ever felt like Lando Calrissian deserved his own funk song? We did and we still do, which is why we made one.

Hey, welcome to the local band Dropbox! If you want others to know about a little band that you love, but they’ve only ever done shows 10 minutes away from where you live and you don’t feel like doxxing yourself, here you go!

Nazi “punks” fuck off

HOW TO SUBMIT A BAND

FAQ:

Do you take “non western” bands?

Absolutely! But, if they’re not on western music streaming/pirating platforms, or their websites are not in English, I will be more limited in ways I can make them accessible. You would need to provide those links. I will tag with the town/city and country.

What counts as a local band?

To avoid the goddamn minefield this question is, if you’re considering submitting them, just go for it. If I don’t think it’s local enough, who cares. We’re here to share music, and if they have 5 listeners or 5,000 listeners, someone could enjoy their music. Though I will suggest, if you’d feel comfortable posting about them without feeling like you’re doxxing yourself, I’d suggest blogging about them on your main.

Can I submit solo artists?

Yep!

Is self promo okay?

As long as you disclose that you are part of the band, and you follow the general guidelines, go right ahead :)

Went to a local DIY punk show about a month ago (I was there to see the openers because they're my mums friends) and it was so strange.

The room was just a bit larger than the average living room and, well, you wouldn't assume you could get a circle pit in that small a room.

I don’t get on here often to speak but HEY!!! SUPPORT SMALL LOCAL BANDS!!!! These dudes work so fucking hard and are incredible artists and if you’re into hardcore/ punk/ metal I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them. Please check them out and give them a listen. Ulamog just dropped their newest album and it is a work. Of. Art. They’re also going on tour, victims of suffering kills it at every show I’ve seen them at 10/10 every time, TERROR has one of my top favorite songs this year and ALPHA is putting out new punk style music all the time and they’re also just really rad dudes , SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL ARTISTS FUCKERS
