That's awesome. I ordered a shirt from TKO back in the late 90s... all white with the Beltones logo and a M-16 (or M-60) across the chest. Still wear it today, despite the stains. You gotta any of those T-shirts lying around?
But the really cool thing is how I was introduced to the band.... saw the Swingin' Utters play Des Moines, Iowa in the summer 99 when I was living out there. Ended up drinking beers with the band afterwards and talking about music, sports (big NBA fans) and old SNL episodes. Anyway Johhny Peebucks and I struck up a friendship of sorts as we talked about a band called the Strike. I told him I'd send him their latest LP on casette tape. He returned the favor with a tape consisting of the Beltones, Workin' Stiffs and the Real McKenzies. Good stuff indeed!

The Beltones are great. I used to print their t-shirts when I worked at my buddy's shop, Crash & Burn (in Atlanta).
Jason Feldmann said:Everyone should know, love, appreciate and emmulate the Beltones. Their On Deaf Ears EP collects all their early 7 inches onto a CD. Only 20 minutes. But 20 minutes is all you need to have your life turned upside down!! I love this goddamn band.
