The cover from our split 7" with Agents of Satan is a t shirt design available now through WARLORD CLOTHING WEBSITE.
There is a design from the insert of the Gasp split 7" that is pictured in our photos. These t shirts are available from www.eatdeath.com. The t shirt design from the upcoming LP Erode the Person is also avilable from them. The sizes ranger from youth L all the way to XXL. They also have numerous other band t shirts.
THE LAST SHIRTS WE OFFICIALLY PRINTED WERE FROM the U.S. Tour about 7 years ago. That design was origianlly done for our tour t shirts by Davey Vincent D' Andrea. A blue on black t shirt. These were also sold on our Seized South/West tour.
The shirts we made before that was the Slap A Ham debut 7" cover art originally done by a Hiroshima bombing surviver taken from a collection book. Original artist is credited in the 7" sleeve. These were white on black, brown, burgundy, dark blue, green, etc. Handscreened our selves w/ alot of bong help on used and new t shirts from various thrift stores. Variations also include pillowcases, collar shirts, sweathsirts, back patches, towels, girlie t shirts, tank tops, basically whatever we could screen on. These were all sold for minimal prices. They were sold in various Bay Area shows as well as tours. The rarest t shirts are the ones made by Ross Vogelson (Skaven, Skew Whiff, Lachrymose, Medication Time). It was the little girl partially featured on our 'Failing Often' cd, who is being held down by surgeons on an operating table. These were light grey on thin new black t shirts and were sold mainly during one show in Los Angelas. We made fifity of these but Rossused non permanent ink, & thus we recieved many complaint letters after the shirts were washed and the design washed away. We sent replacement and refunds back, while Ross' reply was.."Why did they wash their shirts?" We have seen only one of these t shirts owned by Gil Russell of BLOOD OV to this day.
The first t shirts made by us was the 8D8 design. The torture droid from Return of the Jedi in the Jabba's dungeon. These were profesionally made, white and black, and for some reason held up quite well after all thse years. We still see people wearing them, they were available at shows and through mail order for $7ppd, and they still look brand new. These were made in 1995
The only patches we made besides the back patches from the Slap A Ham T shirt design were also made by Ross V. on various used Canvas. It had our lower case logo three times vertically in the corner of an image of some bounty hunters from Empire Strikes Back and sold at shows for 50 cents.in 1996

NOOTHGRUSH Failing Early, Failing Often

Slap A Ham( 2000 )

"Some of the most tortured sludgecore ever recorded! This collection of
studio sessions from 1995-1997 features 18 slow, painful dirges that
creep at geologic pace, but keep the track lengths pretty short (for this
sort of music, anyways). Released on the now-defunct Slap A Ham, this is a
posthumous collection of early recordings from eight sessions at
Trainwreck Studios, all of which is seminal hellish doom/sludge, less "swinging"
than the likes of Eyehategod or Weedeater, but not as abstract as Khanate
and Corrupted. Comp songs, their Slap A Ham Embraced By The Anti-Self 7",
split tracks, and the legendary Kashyyyk demo. This stuff will damage the
structural integrity of any building it's played in. Absolutely essential
for fans of burning witch and crossed out as well assunn O))) and
unearthly trance...".

REVIEW FROM IN MUSIC WE TRUST: "One way to appreciate music is to
understand the meter, or "time," it is performed in. For example, it might be "2/4
time," or "3/4 time" or "4/4 time." In the case of NOOTHGRUSH the music
is performed in "geological time." That's right, this is the band whose
riffs are so plodding that continental drift, by contrast, appears downright
hasty. Calling this music "slow" is like calling The Beatles "moderately
successful"-it's a definite understatement. "Failing Early, Failing
Often" is a posthumous collection of many (most? all?) of the early recordings
from these seminal and cranium-cracking lords of sludge. It includes songs
from several comps, their Slap A Ham 7", their split with BLACK ARMY JACKET,
and their "Kashyyyk" demo; which to this day remains one of my favorite
slowcore releases ever and is still able to undermine the structural integrity
of any building it is played in. Obviously influenced by bands like Grief,
NOOTHGRUSH, however, remain an unmistakable and vital band whose audio
carnage will be sorely missed (rumor has it the band was forced to
disband by the government who was tired of getting seismic readings in the 6
range every time NOOTHGRUSH played). In addition to all that, they are the
only band I have had a conversation with that included the words "Chewbacca
action-figure-holding bandolier." In the early 1990s the birth of seminal sludgelords Noothgrush laid to waste to the SF Bay Area. This trio spewed forth their molten musical magma over a span of eight years and carved a path of influence that resounds in the
quagmire of modern day slowcore. For the first time ever, their earliest
molasses-paced epics have been assembled on one disc. The collection
compiles material from their debut Slap A Ham seven-inch, as well as
split releases with Dead Bodies Everywhere, Agents Of Satan, and Black Army
Jacket, plus countless compilation tracks and their legendary Kashyyyk
demo!

If you dig the cranium-crushing sounds of Grief, the Melvins, or
Eyehategod, then you're prepared for only a fraction of the heaviness that
Noothgrush is prepared to deliver!

Noothgrush do more than play sludge. They are sludge. Everything about
this band oozes and crawls. Their music is as punishing and it is precise as
it is plodding. Lyrically they take concepts and ideas that in the hands
of lesser artists may seem silly (Star Wars) or overused (hate and
loathing) and they discover existential sociological and philosophical insight.
From one point of view in the extreme underground Noothgrush are hideously
deformed if for no other reason than they travel a route far less
taken; but from another perspective, and certainly one that I share, their
deformity is actually uniqueness and allows for the breeding of distinction. Y'see
there are only a handful of really stellar sludge bands around and Noothgrush
are among the best." -Jeb Branin, The Crass Menagerie"
