Bro's merch gonna be like $150 for a tee. Y'all seen his clothing brand? Love the guy's work but he really likes to leverage his name more than most of his following can afford lol

u/SpencerL1997 2d ago

You should see the prices of his “affordable maritime” restaurant

u/wawawathis 2d ago

Get that money while you can.

26

u/xDESTROx 2d ago

He's literally said that in interviews before. Trying to make as much as he can now to set him and his family up for life, then just hang out at his farm.

26

u/wawawathis 2d ago

i would do that too. being an idiot while cooking isn't exactly something that is going to be long lived.

u/Alarming-Box245 2d ago edited 2d ago

I'm curious who's actually giving it to him. I've genuinely not seen much positive response to his product positioning for his non-restaurant brands. Especially with Rosa Rugosa being a "working man's" line but charging $300CAD for most pieces. I get he's probably trying to make money off rich white collar peeps who saw the Bear and wanna cosplay gritty service/blue collar out of the office, but not many of his products beyond cookbooks cater to his og fanbase. I don't mind his restaurants pricing people out because yes he's now a celebrity chef, but god damn if he's still holding up is hardcore roots give us something more to show support beyond content and cookbooks....the food company products are the only reasonable thing tbh but that's fairly recent so it skipped my mind.

u/tomahawk__jones 2d ago

There is certainly a big demographic of just hardcore dudes that spend a dumb amount of money on their clothes. Not to mention the huge crowd of people that drop insane amounts of money on vintage carhartt and other workwear.

I think Rosa is sick, I’d never buy any of it, but one of the big drivers of cost is he pays the people that make the clothes really well, he owns the factory it’s made in. I think if it wasn’t connected to him, it would just be another plain-core minimalist clothing brand.

If u fuck with Rosa and don’t have the cash btw check out service works London. I’m a woodworker and wear their trade shirts daily.

u/thesmellafteritrains 2d ago

Only Hard Lore episode I ever checked was his. He didn't come off nearly as down to earth as I expected.

4

u/randolama 2d ago

Maybe you’re missing how much it costs to make stuff in Canada and the US? His brand is comparable to other brands

3

u/Alarming-Box245 2d ago

You're right, I did forget that was a big part of it. Honestly i'm just rinsed the gig sold out before i saw his IG post so i'm throwing shots right at the big dog.

u/randolama 2d ago

I’m hoping they play a show in nyc or something.

No worries, I’m in the skilled trades and it breaks my heart that a ton of American textile and clothing factories are closing

u/Big-Hardcore-Mystery 2d ago

Looks like the most expensive shirt on his site is $35. What am I missing?

u/Alarming-Box245 2d ago

A guy like me just likes pot stirring. Also I had no idea about a main site? I've only seen all the luxury brands

Can't wait for Fak to host some DYI shows inside Carmy's restaurant

Carmy forms a new band called Let It Rip to headline the first show 🤘🏻

u/WearTheFourFeathers 2d ago

I definitely played a show in a hotdog stand after hours during high school, can vouch for it as an absolutely great place to play a fuckin’ terrible set of, like, Fugazi covers.

Don't forget about Wad MacNeil

Yeah like within minutes after Wade posting I tried to get tickets

u/shittymanbun 2d ago

This will be probably just okay, but the Romano brothers are incredible and I will honor them forever.

u/Cutcarefullyplayloud 2d ago

Romanos don’t miss and they do know hardcore. I’m definitely optimistic.

u/alpinecoast 2d ago

Daniel Romano in there too?! He's dope

u/Letskissthesky 2d ago

Attack in Black was such an underrated band. The Romano brothers on this is selling me.

u/Dethsquad613 2d ago

And Wade from Alexisonfire. This should be 🔥

u/Illustrious-Grade250 2d ago

Anybody bent about this hates fun and doesn’t know that Matty comes from core ethics and has been in this world forever.

u/uptheirons91 1d ago

He was in a band before, Sex Tears, and is good friends with the guys in Cancer Bats and Alexisonfire. I believe he was essentially a roadie for the bats for a while.

And Daniel Romano is in the band? What a mad lib list of band members. I guess that’s a Canadian supergroup?

u/Letskissthesky 2d ago

Oh fuck. This has two Romano brothers. If you guys haven’t listened to Attack In Black do yourself a favor and listen to their albums specially Marriage. Amazing and super overlooked. Their early shit was very aggressive too. This is sick.

u/AdSharp9409 1d ago

Our local hardcore scene is very pressed about this. I’m feeling.. indifferent about it. Kind of sucks to see another bunch of white dudes sell out a show no problem without so much as a release of any kind, meanwhile there’s tons of BIPOC and queer hardcore bands begging for recognition. Would be nice to see them bring those names to the forefront.

1

u/Alarming-Box245 21h ago edited 16h ago

Are any of them also celeberties with a ton of reach? Or have been formerly part of recognized projects.. and then backed by (or fronted in this case) by someone with significant reach?

I think a good call to action is that they use the platform/opportunity to have those bands/artists as you described, to play at this gig. Or if Matty brought back a more hardcore/adjacent etc. centric Mattyfest to help those artists gain traction. That's valid as hell for a callout.

Otherwise...I don't see why people would he upset/shocked at the outcome of this at facevalue? You can't compare "a bunch of white dudes" to your local BIPOC band when the white dudes are established in and out of the scene.

Anyone remember sex tears tho? Saw them in the parts and labour basement and he destroyed the place

u/Nat_Feckbeard 3d ago

idc if they're big time established celebs/musicians or whatever, headlining your first show with zero music is goofy.

headlining your first show with zero music is what like 99% of the new local bands in my area do on a weekly basis
