Do you support buying boof/ ripoff merch from Temu/ Shein of bands that are currently inactive ,, or bands that haven’t restocked merch?

I want to buy Alesana merch, but unfortunately they’re not very active. There’s a bunch of cool graphics on Temu/ ebay for like $8.

There’s a few other bands I want to support but am unable to because they don’t have merch.

EDIT: Since everyone here is a major advocate for directly supporting bands and ensuring they are the ones getting money:

Can you explain to me how do I directly support an inactive band from 2008?

How do I directly support a band that hasn’t dropped an album in 15 years?

How do I support a band that has became an archive of the times?

Did you even read my post ??

Kingdom Of Giants - Vice Versa (2011)

The best Kingdom Of Giants song you never heard.

1:40 hosts my favorite KOG breakdown.

Totally hyped for all the hype they’ve garnered from Passenger and Burning Chrome, but Every Wave Of Sound FUCKING RIPS!!!!! Real metalcore.

Produced and Engineered by Dana Willax himself.

IF THE BOYS ARE READING THIS POST, PLEASE DROP SOME REAL CALIFORNIA METAL BANGERZ!!!

OCEANA - The Conductor (2008)

I only found out about these album in 2025, so I’m super late to the party. I can still remember the first time I heard the breakdown around 0:45.

Felt like time stood still for a moment. Very captivating and left a huge impression.

Stand Still - Steps Ascending (DAZE Records)

My favorite song has less than 200 plays on YouTube. Moments like these make me happy and sad at the same time. Happy I’ve found my own lil band , but sad I’m the only one who knows this.

I Set My Friends On Fire announce West Coast Tour alongside Warped Tour Long Beach !!!

I’m hyped. The songs still hit as hard as they ever did. ISMFOF was one of the bands that really spawned my interest is music with screaming vocals.

I remember there was a point in my rock music journey where ISMFOF was the only band I could listen to with screams.

Till this day, there has yet to be a vocalist that sounds like Matt Mehana.
