I always enjoyed the vibe of the videos.  DJ Akoza soundtrack and all.   Juan Virues is sick.

Damn with heater graphics like that you have to wonder what went wrong. Maybe they should’ve tried the $350 flannel route instead

Nothing against this company, but I’d never purposefully pay $40 for Clutch wood.

they had some cool graphics and some videos with a good nineties east coast vibe to them. some years back i saw them on a swedish webshop. that's the closest i have seen the brand in real life.

Was confused for a bit with Johnny McRads "Blue Tile Lounge"

Surprisingly have had a bigger following than i realise (certainly more than the likes of other deceased brands like DOA and scum co, picture show)..

I haven't heard shit from this brand since pre pandemic. Shame, their videos were always sick but they had a revolving door of a team.

Isn’t this that dude Nick/ lurknyc’s company? I don’t really shop online but I’d gladly support. Videos have always been great, dude has two young kids. Slap let’s collectively book a figurative stay at hotel blue

Also my thoughts.

He should just pause for a bit and wait until his kids are grown a little. I'll support the merch just thanks to all of the stoke lurknyc vids gave me over the years.

Honestly prob should throw in the towel on the boards tho. That's the worst market to be in

Felt like a pretty nothing brand but cool videos. Charles DeChamps was on which I thought was cool, but then ended up being flow vortex and sadly relegated to Studio.
