Welcome to the altar, you unwashed beautiful disasters. Sit your sin-soaked behinds on the pew of distortion, because today we gather to mourn our last remaining brain cell, bash a pop witch with a tail, praise a saint with a Rickenbacker, and sell you a shirt that smells like regret and freedom.
đ First, A Moment of Silence for Dignity
You remember dignity, right? That overrated sock puppet of shame society used to wave around before we traded it for fishnets and bass fuzz. Now we cry at concerts and flirt with bartenders who hate us â and thatâs called growth.
"If you're going to be dumb, you better be entertaining."â tattoo found on the lower back of a roadie named Twitch
đ Madonna Has a Tail (And Other Alleged Facts)
Weâre not saying Madonna has a literal tail. Weâre just saying if Margaret Thatcher and Nixon had a daughter and fed her expired pheromones, youâd get something that looked suspiciously like the modern Material Ghoul.
Sheâs got more filler than a microwave burrito, and less bite than a vegan werewolf. Meanwhile, she's still headlining festivals while bands with real sweat, real grit, and real riffs get shoved into 4PM side slots like they showed up with acoustic ukuleles and daddy issues.
â°ïž Meanwhile, Lemmy Ascended
Lemmy didnât die. He evaporated into whisky vapor and now rains down in the form of inspiration and strange stains on your favorite bandâs van seats.
"I donât do regrets. Regret is just a memory that sucks."â Lemmy Kilmister, Patron Saint of No Apologies
He wore tighter pants than you, played louder than God, and smelled like danger in a good way. If youâre not living life like youâve got one liver and a vendetta against silence, youâre not living. Youâre curating.
đ©Č If You're Not Crying or Throwing Underwear, You're Doing It Wrong
Letâs get one thing straight: Rock was never about being balanced, healthy, or clean. Itâs a fever, a breakdown with rhythm, a wet kiss in a dirty alley behind a dive bar named after a weapon.
Cry during a guitar solo? â
Throw your bra at a band that made you feel something? â
Scream âI love you!â at a singer whoâs clearly ignoring you? â â â
"I came here to feel something. Turns out it was dehydration and lust."â overheard at a merch booth
đ€ THE CURE FOR EVERYTHING IS MERCH
Look, therapy's expensive. T-shirts are cheaper. You want healing? You want identity? You want to feel like a beautiful failure with great taste? We got you.
đ©¶ Filthy, noisy shirts
Wear your heartbreak. Flaunt your decay. Flex your musical kinks. Let the world know you belong to a church that only sings in distortion and only prays for encores.
đ€ Closing Hymn
Weâre not for everyone.Weâre for the ones whoâve woken up on strange couches with eyeliner still intact.For the people who confuse love with loud guitars.For the ones who can laugh while crying and kiss while screaming.
This is The Heavy T Co.We are the religion your mother warned you about.
Now go buy a shirt and sin a little louder.
