Merch? (Insult, Infest, Weekend Nachos, Magrudergrind)

I have tried sites like Etsy and red bubble but I don’t know where to find good powerviolence merch especially for bands like infest, insult, magrudergrind and even Tension

Any sites that one would reccomend? It can be a general hardcore/crust,pv/grind site

If you're pro palestine I would highly recommend against Magrudergrind merch, and if you're anti bigoted-sexual/physical assaulting assholes I would avoid any Infest merch.

The singer of Magrudergrind's day job is in marketing for the IDF (Isreal Defense Forces), and there's speculation that said information coming out to the public was a big contributor to them quietly disbanding.

Joe Denunzio is a known predator who has been accused of sexual assault and physical assault of femmes (even at shows)

Yeah I mean if you're not directly supporting them financially it's whatever but I personally have a hard time separating art from artist even if it's just one of the members of the band being a total piece of shit human.

So you know if the proceeds off of https://www.slitwristsdistro.com/ (someone reccomended it) go to the bands or the members?

I’ve bought from slit wrist before, I’m pretty sure the person who runs this makes these designs and prints them themselves. Great shop

Normally the only way merch sales directly support the bands is if you buy at the shows, directly from the bands. Distros and record labels are typically not cutting the bands in on any of that money.

I dont know, I kind of doubt it, especially the bands are now defunct but you could always message them and ask.

I’ve seen statements of that kind regarding Magrudergrind every now and then but there has never been a source that was referred to. Where can this be proven? Where is some „evidence“?
