It's poetry. The band whose shirt you can't buy is also the band whose members don't wear shirts. Onstage, the Santa Cruz band Gulch present a united front: Four or five young dudes, stringy and tatted-up, all wearing tight black jeans and no shirts. Hardcore is supposed to be a gimmick-averse genre, and yet Gulch's look is a great non-gimmick gimmick. They don't look like they've had a band meeting about how they all should dress onstage. They look like guys who showed up at the venue wearing black jeans and no shirts. It just makes sense.
