When Have Heart announced they were reuniting this summer, our friends at Trust Records got the idea to get a collab going with SSD. This limited edition T-shirt is the result, and the profits are going to a Boston-area cancer charity, to be named later, in honor and support of Al Barile’s fight against colon cancer.

Have Heart x Erica Lauren Photo Print Raises $5,000 for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund
A few weeks ago, Los Angeles-based photographer Erica Lauren contacted us to see if we’d help use one of her fantastic photos of Have Heart taken live at Tied Down Fest, to benefit the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.
We’d collaborated with Erica back in 2021 through our other brand, Sully’s, on a puzzle featuring a mural of Joe Kelly of the Los Angeles Dodgers painted by artist Jonas Never and were thrilled to work with her again.
We made a limited run of five hundred 18x24 prints, and donated the profits - an incredible $5,000 - to the PCRF yesterday. THANK YOU to everyone involved: Erica, Have Heart, Bob Shedd, for making this happen, and everyone who supported this effort! There are a few prints left, grab one while you still can HERE!

Dave Smalley (DYS, Dag Nasty, All, Down By Law) Needs Your Help
Dave Smalley needs your help.
If you’re seeing this, you’re more than likely a friend, fan, or supporter of Dave. He’s currently in the beginning stages of recovering from some serious health issues, and is in need of our help. Dave had a tough fight against cancer last year. He spent the first half of 2023 doing several bouts of chemo, followed by a surgery to remove the remaining cancer. The recovery from surgery and treatment brought on its own challenges, which left Dave hospitalized with Encephalitis on two separate occasions, for several months. He is back home now, but will need some PT going forward. It's been a scary year, but Dave is winning his fight. While he was hospitalized he was unable to work, and is left with an astronomical amount of bills. No matter the amount, any donation will go straight towards the care and medical attention needed to get him back on his feet.
Here is a message from Dave's children; Madeline, Abigail, Colter and Griffin:
“Hi all, Dave's kids here. We just wanted to say thank you in advance for your support for our dad. He’s had a hell of a year with these health complications, but we’re confident that he’s on the road to recovery. Even while in the hospital he was showing us studio recordings of some new music!!! All the love you’ve been sending is appreciated. Cheers.”

In Support of Sean Lipinski's Family (Regret, Holding On)
REGRET was a hardcore band from Minneapolis that was active from 2005-2008, featuring a member of Holding On, who released an album on Bridge Nine in 2002. The band recorded a four-song demo, a six-song e.p. titled “Misery Brigade,” and an unreleased e.p. which circulated online and among friends. The band was led by guitarist and songwriter SEAN LIPINSKI. It was Sean’s vision, talent, and sheer force of will which kept the band moving forward.
On December 27, 2022, Sean died unexpectedly following complications from an aggressive brain tumor. He left behind an adoring wife and two beautiful daughters. This project hopes to serve the dual purpose of raising money to support Sean’s family, as well as finally compiling everything Regret recorded for the last time. This discography includes every song the band released, along with the unreleased “Hard Drugs” e.p. 100% of all proceeds will be donated to the Lipinski family.
It is a deep honor to Sean’s friends who comprised Regret to have been a part of his band. It is a deep honor to document our humble contribution to his legacy. Thank you for your support. Preorder HERE!

War On Women Raise $1500 for The Brigid Alliance
Feminist hardcore-punk band WAR ON WOMEN quickly responded to the news last week that the Supreme Court had voted to strike down the Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft opinion that was obtained by POLITICO. The band, longtime sociopolitical activists, announced that they would be donating the proceeds from any sales of their grenade shirt to The Brigid Alliance, a non-profit organization that arranges and funds confidential, personalized travel support to those seeking abortion care in increasingly hostile environments. Within days, the band raised $1,500, and undoubtedly will be carrying the torch against anti-abortion rhetoric as they embark on their tour with Good Riddance on Friday, May 13th.
