"Television" Premium Unisex T-Shirt

Inducted into the Amp'd Apparel Rock Hall of Fame.

New York City, 1974. Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd walked into CBGB and invented a guitar language nobody had heard before.

While the Ramones were stripping rock down to three chords and the Talking Heads were making it cerebral, Television were doing something else entirely — long, interlocking guitar lines that spiraled around each other like two people finishing each other's sentences. Jazz-informed, punk-adjacent, and completely their own.

Marquee Moon, released in 1977, is one of the greatest albums ever made. The title track runs ten minutes and doesn't waste a second. Critics knew it immediately. The public took longer. It didn't chart in America. It went top 30 in the UK. History has since corrected the record.

Verlaine died in January 2023. The music remains — precise, restless, and unlike anything before or since.

This shirt is for the people who know what happened on Bowery Street.
