Just feels funny to say. But yeah a company reached out to offer us free customized condom tins with our logo, and I recognize a lot of the other bands they work with so its on the up and up. Gonna sell them for a few bucks at shows to get money for mixing and mastering the new shit

You have just lost all support from the volcel-police

the band for people who fuck

How does it feel to be a sellout poser?

Just kidding, if people think your band can sell condoms, I guess let em pay for that privilege.

My friend's old crust band who were all addicts would get paraphernalia dropoffs from a local harm reduction center (they are amazing, they do a round each week and will come to your door and see if you need pipes, rigs, etc), they put band stickers on needles and etched their logo into crack pipes and gave em away (selling them would be fucked)

brb buying the condoms to say I fuck with the band

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 17 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

That's super cool actually.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 11 points 9 hours ago

Yeah I feel good about promoting something positive as opposed to "uh Yeah heres a shirt or a tape that's what we got"

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 29 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

Wow you're sponsored and by SEX HAVERS no less, you need to abandon communism right now.

[–] Alisu@hexbear.net 1 points 2 hours ago

At least it's safe-sex havers

I'll turn myself in to the volcel police.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 8 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I would absolutely work that into promoting them via stage patter.

"We've got condoms at the merch table, we weren't using them so we figured we'd slap a logo on em and try to sell some here.'

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 8 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Oh fuckin totally. Or when someone wants to grab a tin, "I dunno, sure you're gonna get a chance to use these?" As a playful rib

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I dunno really if people are gonna be buying condoms at a merch table at a show, but it is for sure a good way to get people to stop at your merch table

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 4 points 7 hours ago

It's more the tins for them that are a novelty. The condoms are just regular branded condoms, the case has our logo

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 15 points 11 hours ago

Good, best you do. disgost

Get that bag... from the makers of very specialized bags. lenin-dont-laugh

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 8 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

given the only other band i know that sells sponsored condoms is HEALTH, you have to continue to follow in their footsteps and start selling band buttplugs too

also consider getting the fromsoft logo tattooed across your chest and have no other tattoos whatsoever

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 5 points 9 hours ago

Too late for that last bit, getting p covered >.>
