Plenty of industrial music pins available, get yours now!
The fine people at Storming the Base have launched a new selection of pins! This summer the “brand” is ‘industrial vegan’ including 10 brand new designs and they cost less than 1 Euro each. You can see the 10 new ones right here – and guess what, there’s even a Front 242 version!
And while you are at it, you might also check the bumper stickers available.
For those who thought that pins were invented by the punk movement back in the late 70s, you’ll have to check your history lessons again. Political buttons have been used in the United States since the first presidential inauguration in 1789, when George Washington’s supporters wore buttons imprinted with a slogan. The first campaign buttons with photographs were produced to promote the political platform of Abraham Lincoln in 1860. Yep, more than 110 years before the first punk arrived.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
