Merchandise

With their 2013 EP, Totale Nite, their strangest and strongest work to date, Merchandise reveal that the idealism of hardcore and the romanticism of new wave aren’t such strange bedfellows after all.

Attend event:

Punk and hardcore scenes the world over are notoriously intolerant, and the bustling scene in Tampa, Florida is no exception. Though the members of this Tampa noise pop trio built names for themselves playing in area hardcore bands, they also indulged “fruity” krautrock leanings in secret before bringing Merchandise out of the closet back in 2009, thereby revealing that the idealism of hardcore and the romanticism of new wave aren’t such strange bedfellows after all. Their 2013 EP, Totale Nite, is their strangest and strongest work yet.
