The Brides - Suburban Vermin 1996-98 [Hozac]THE BRIDES ARE BACK! Freshly collected on wax in time for their summer tour. Catch 'em at GBUFO Fest! 'The mid 90s, Chicagoland. Suburban highschool angst Ska, math rock, and the dying embers of pop punk were the rage. I actively disliked all of it. Id spend the occasional weekend at the Dummy Room (a record store) off of Ashland Ave. and the owner would recommend 70s 80s punk and rockn roll that would become essential in the years to come. Pagans.

THE BRIDES ARE BACK! Freshly collected on wax in time for their summer tour. Catch 'em at GBUFO Fest!

'The mid-’90s, Chicagoland. Suburban highschool angst… Ska, math-rock, and the dying embers of pop-punk were the rage. I actively disliked all of it. I’d spend the occasional weekend at the Dummy Room (a record store) off of Ashland Ave. and the owner would recommend ’70s/’80s punk and rock’n roll that would become essential in the years to come. Pagans. Viletones. Heartbreakers. But I needed more rock’n roll. I had to start a band to fill the void that I felt in the Chicago scene, but things were dire back then. Cultural starvation. I left a flyer at the record store and eventually got in contact with brothers Nick and Damien Dagovitz and then The O’Langutan, the latter of which would eventually blame me for him breaking my own bass that he was playing because “Why would you ever think that’s it’s cool to let a wildman play your bass? You knew that I’m a wildman”. That should have been a clear indication that his brain-moths were not circling the lightbulb correctly, but nope, I looked past it and the band kept on for another year or so. We played some great shows, thanks to Alec Budd of the Problematics and Tom Smith in Green Bay. And I guess that we recorded some okay songs, mostly thanks to Jim Kuczkowski in Indianapolis. But the band wasn’t getting along and after fights and some really difficult gigs, it became a slog. So, by 19, I dissolved it and moved to San Francisco. And that was the end of it.

'Until now. I haven’t listened to these tracks in years, but some of them still hold up. Thank you to my old buddies at HoZac for kicking this dead horse, also Al and the Kooch, and thanks to Todd G. from Indy. Eric O. always had our back, as did Tom S. All my respect goes out to Ken White, who was like a fifth member of the band. And of course Jim O., Erik B. and especially Russ C.

'I hope that you kids enjoy these tunes as much as I enjoyed writing and covering them. Cheers,'– J. Ross Fisher

First time buyer and I love it
Vibrant Colors and Smooth Printing – Great Sublimation Ink! I’ve been using Hippo Sublimation Ink for a few months now, and I’m really impressed with the quality and performance. I paired it with my converted Epson EcoTank printer, and the setup was super easy. The bottles are clearly labeled, and the no-mess nozzle design makes refilling a breeze. The color output is excellent—bright, bold, and true to what I see on my screen. Reds are vibrant, blacks are deep, and everything prints consistently without streaks or blotching. I’ve used this ink for sublimating on a variety of blanks like mugs, shirts, keychains, and tumblers, and every item has turned out beautifully. Overall, Hippo has become my go-to sublimation ink. Great quality, reliable performance, and affordable for the results you get. Highly recommend it for hobbyists and small business

Great sublimation ink at a great price. Works great in my ET-8550.
I use this Hiipoo sublimation ink with my ET‑8550 for shirts, tumblers, and ceramic mugs, and it’s been great across all of them. The colors come out vibrant and consistent, and the ink flows well through the printer. Getting the color profile dialed in can be a little tricky, but that’s pretty much par for the course with any sublimation setup. Once everything is calibrated, the results look fantastic. For the price, it’s an excellent value. Plenty of ink, reliable performance, and great results on a wide range of blanks. I’ll definitely keep buying it.
