At Arm Your Friends, we’ve always believed in the power of community, strength, and resistance. Our latest collection, "Heavy Metal," is more than just a fabric and ink—it's a tribute to the raw, unfiltered energy of anti-racist and anti-authoritarian roots that have defined heavy metal and punk music for decades.
Heavy metal and punk music have always been about more than just the sound. They’re about defiance, about standing up against oppression, and about creating a space where everyone—no matter who they are—can belong. These genres emerged as a voice for the marginalized, the misunderstood, and the rebellious. They’re a loud, unapologetic cry for justice, equity, and freedom.
We’re celebrating the music that has given so many a voice, and the culture that has shaped countless movements for social change.
We’re launching pre-orders for the "Heavy Metal" collection on Sunday, August 18th. This is more than just a chance to get your hands on new merch—it’s an opportunity to represent a community of like-minded individuals who are committed to organizing in their own communities.
So, whether you’ve been a lifelong fan of metal and punk, or you’re just discovering the genre, we invite you to explore the "Heavy Metal" collection.
