In July 2008, Adrift obtained a much-coveted clothing endorsement from internet outrageous shirt giants [http://www.foulmouthshirts.com Foul Mouth Shirts]. |
|||
Foul Mouth Shirts specializes in rude, offensive and outrageous t-shirt designs, slogans, and artwork – some of which are geared to challenge political or sexual viewpoints, and some of which are simply humorous and titillating. |
|||
Said drummer Kevin Astl of the endorsement deal, "I've bought literally dozens of shirts from Foul Mouth Shirts in the past. They have a huge selection of some really crazy shit, for both men, women, babies - they even have hot nasty chick's thongs with funny and offensive sayings on them. Shipping and service are always quick and cheap. Their shirts are high quality cotton and last forever. I've taken every promo shot for ADRIFT and played every gig over the last 4 years in a Foul Mouth shirt, and we are very proud to add them to ADRIFT'S ever-growing stable of equipment and gear endorsers. Thanks to Cannon and all at Foul Mouth for their bold vision and belief in ADRIFT. Check out their site for shirts that will definitely challenge most people, make awesome humorous conversation, and raise eyebrows." |
|||
Jack Owen, no stranger to extreme shirts with the Vincent Locke artwork from Cannibal Corpse days, said "It's a pleasure dealing with Foulmouthshirts.com. We've been associated with them for a couple years now, and it's great to make it official. Can you beat a company that sells a shirt that says 'What The Fuck Would Jesus Do' on it? They rule!" |
