T-shirt #045 - RUSH

Rush was a Canadian rock band consisting of Geddy Lee (bass, vocals, keyboards), Alex Lifeson (guitars), and Neil Peart (drums, percussion). Formed in 1968

RUSH played complex compositions and were great great musicians. When touring with KISS in the early days they did not participate in the rocjk and Roll myths of sex, drug etc... they just played... respect!

Great great guys from Canada!

Neil pert died January 7, 2020 in Glioblastoma, also known as glioblastoma multiforme. 

GBM is the most aggressive cancer that begins within the brain.

Not only was he an excellent drummer but also open to getting better even late in his carrier as he started to take drum lessons studying jazz, with Freddy Gruber in 1994. Respect!

T-shirt #044 - Textures

Textures were a Dutch metalcore band 2001-2017. 

I started to listen to them after their Awake video.

Textures had a complex and innovative style, influenced by progressive metal and metalcore. They also incorporated melodic interludes and experimented with a wide variety of electronic atmospherics. On their first release, Polars, they also experimented with ambient soundscapes, before fusing the ambient and riffs together more closely on later releases.

T-shirt #043 - Depravity

Depravity is from Perth, Western Australia.
And their logo is difficult to read...ergo...it is a death metal band ;-)

Death metal was meant to be an assault on the senses but somewhere along the way bands started taking it easy, getting complacent. Enter DEPRAVITY from Australia. They show us how it's to be done, to play devastating death metal without straying from the genre's roots. This is what MORBID ANGEL should've sounded like today. There's no going back or forth. This is it. This is the fiercest expression of death metal while remaining relevant. Vile, twisted and deafeningly heavy, 'Evil Upheaval' is one of the most powerful albums you'll bear witness to this year!
