Action Patrol
was a beloved Richmond, VA band who existed for a short time from the
mid to late ‘90s. Their spazzed out, nerdy/ charming presence
accompanied by their powerful commanding live show made them an instant
hit with everyone from crusty punk types to pretensions scenesters and
hardcore kids. The music they wrote was equally endearing. Action Patrol
songs were short bursts of stop/start punk with loads of changes and
surprises. ‘Tons of quirks and loads of melody, aggression, emotion, and
velocity; all wrapped up with David Grant’s relatably political lyrics.
When word got out that AP was playing a reunion show this month (April, 2018), tickets sold out in a few hours. Of course, we had to make a shirt for the occasion and we were lucky enough to get an old friend of the band (Chris Wright) to design this one. Chris’ work has graced everything from the pages of Esquire Magazine to the faces of many a skateboard deck. We’ve been of fan of his art for a while, and we’re pretty excited to finally work with him on a t-shirt. Get it while we got it!
