07/02/10 "2 NEW SHIRTS,KINDA...and an entire NEW SEASON SOON! + ADTR + VEARA MUSIC VIDEO DEBUT"
Ok, so Ive come to terms with the fact that Im a
piece of crap and havent updated this news info in eternity, but thats just because its so damn difficult with this weird ass 1990'2 style site, and thus I am in the process of designing a new layout, so thatll make things a bit easier on all of us. Plus Ive been busy as hell designing all kinds of crap for our great friends in
New Found Glory,
A Day To Remember,
the Acacia Strain, and our newest friends Veara. Speaking of Veara, you can catch their music video, (in which they are wearing HOTLIFE gear such as Countdown and Lightning designs) not so coincidentally released today at the AP website:
VEARA MUSIC VIDEO - MY B-SIDE LIFE, also...VEARA wiil be on the BUFF CHICK TOUR 2010 (Flyer below) so be sure to check em out as they are amazing and wonderful! A Day To Remember is also running around doing all kinds of rad shit, Ill be posting videos from the last show of the Homesick tour I was lucky enough to take with my iphone haha. Also the NEWEST AUG Issue of AP magazine features Jeremy McKinnon , singer of ADTR sporting
HOTLIFE-Crime Dont Pay, so get into it. The new HOTLIFE season will be coming up in the next few weeks. Based on feedback, were looking into slightly heavier shirts that dont shrink and new state of the art printing techniques. Also expect some old HL classics completely redrawn and printed in new versions. Stoked!
03/17/10 "ADTR/HOTLIFE MUSIC VIDEO PREMIER + VEARA SIGNS TO EPITAPH + THE WONDER YEARS DESTROYED FL + STW IS DEAD"
So it has indeed been a long time since we had a HOTLIFE update and ironically thats because theres SOO much to update! Where to start...well...We have a ton of new designs ready to come out and some top secret collaborations so stay tuned for that. Many designs are selling out so grab the current ones while u can. Now, a few things...A DAY TO REMEMBER just got back from their Australia/Japan/UK tour and itwas incredible. Every single UK show was sold out. Also, they JUST had their MTV world premier yesterday for their video "I'm Made of Wax, Larry, What Are You Made Of ...". Aside from it being an incredible song, you also get to see in the video ADTR uniforms designed by us, super hot babes, and you may even be able to see me and my lil girl in it shamelessly sporting the HOTLIFE -"MY LIFE" design if you look closely :) Next up, Salt the Wound unfortunately is not officially broken up. Guitars smashed and all. They just returned from their European tour and over, but if I know Jake Scott, I know he's always got something up his sleeve so well keep you posted on his projects and his work at Black Metal Tattoo. Last night I had the opportunity to spend the evening with my brothers in THE WONDER YEARS as they played Orlando with Crime and Stereo. It was incredible, PLEASE PLEASE do not sleep on this band. What a great live show full of energy and more heart then most any band I've seen for a long time. Their brand new record "The Upsides" is SOLD OUT on vinyl for first pressing, but is still available on CD. They've even hit the Billboard Music Charts, and got 4/5 stars in AP magazine..so get into it! We're also stoked on our newest family members VEARA ! They announced last thursday of their signing to Epitaph Records (Bad Religion, Rancid, SYG, etc) and Runningman. The upcoming record "What We Left Behind" is just INCREDIBLE. I was asked to create all the art and layout for it and truly invested all I had into it because the record is just so good and deserves only the best. Please check em out, add em on myspace,(If you still use it haha) and go se them live. You will NOT be disappointed. Much love.

You can order it through the webstore or MYSPACE (www.myspace.com/hotlifeclothing). While your there feel free to copy our banner and put it up on your page or add us to the top friends if your into it, we're an independent company trying to put out some high quality artwork and we put our heart and soul into every aspect of it.
Additionally, we have a full page ad in this months AMP Magazine, which you may actually be pictured in so check it out, and an ad in Blackout Magazine.
By the way we're completely SOLD OUT of Set Sail in Medium in both the regular print and Red Print. Sorry guys.
Much Love,
MikeC/Hotlife
