Emmure seems to have a pattern of debuting things, and then removing them. First it was singer Frankie Palmeri's Cold Soul
clothing line, then it was the
title to their "Bring A Gun To School?" song. Now, shortly after introducing the t-shirt below to their
merch store, the item has apparently been pulled from said store. We're not sure why exactly, other than a few bloggers out there having emotional breakdowns about it. Oh, well... so concludes our weekly Emmure news item.
UPDATE: Right on cue, Emmure has now issued a statement on the matter. We stand corrected: this is not a new shirt. However, I find it highly suspect that within hours of a few punk bloggers posting stories expressing their disgust with the shirt, it's removed from the website. Anyway, here is their statement:
"No, Emmure did not remove a T-shirt from the 518 webstore because we thought it was controversial. We just don't want to our fans to visit our online stores and see the same stuff we were selling on tour just weeks ago. As a collective we are constantly striving to produce new content for our listeners in all aspects. Merchandise included. I will have you know we have been printing 'Ask Ya Girl' shirts ever since 2009 and was a big seller on last years RockStar Mayhem tour. Sorry internet but this is not news. You are 5 years late."
