Snakes & Suits is Finally Open!
I have been waiting for Snakes & Suits to officially open for what seems like forever. On their myspace page, they have been touting the dreaded, “coming soon” sign for as long as I can remember, but finally it has launched and I’m stoked. The question in a lot of your heads is probably, “What the hell is Snakes & Suits?” The answer to that is simple, and complicated at the same time. The short answer is S&S is a clothing line and a record label all rolled up into one nice package.
Currently, they’re selling t-shirts and hoodies, you know the standard start-up indie line gear. The difference between all t-shirts is whats on them, or not on them for that matter. The art and graphics on the tees and hoodies are really unique and in the case of the ‘Storms’ t-shirt a bit finger-painty mixed with splash of Jackson Pollock (if he went minimalist). Many of the items are very limited, as in they only have 75 of them, so impulsive buyers have the advantage.
As for the record label aspect of Snakes & Suits, they are taking a new-age approach to putting out music. They are releasing all albums via FREE mp3 downloads. They are starting by re-releasing the out-of-print Gatsbys American Dream EP, In The Land Of Lost Monsters. Included in the download is not only 7 great songs from GAD, but the album cover, and a little message from guitarist, Bobby Darling.
You can shop Snakes & Suits on their webstore, download the Gatsbys American Dream EP in their myspace. Above all make sure to “smile big and keep your hearts over money!”

Cool stuff!
S&S is a great company run by great people. They are always a joy to deal with. I LOVE the hoodie that they carry. I bought one than got it loved it and got another. They get softer as you wash them. I’m going to order another soon. I don’t know how limited the hoodie is but I will never own enough of them.
Ha ha…I guess you really can’t have enough of a good thing. I liked the hoodie too, but I’m such a t-shirt girl, I could pass up the ‘Storms’ tee
