Paying Dues to the Zombies

Dead Era considers its zombies the focal-point of the brand. Anyone who has spoken to a Dead Era employee knows how much our customer satisfaction is stressed. In fact, I can tell you right now that if it wasn’t for the dedicated support of the fans spreading the infection, Dead Era probably wouldn’t be here.

From the ground up, Dead Era was conceptualized with the customers in mind. When we were just a small word on a story-board we didn’t hold weight. It wasn’t until the idea of the Dead Era infection was fleshed out that we truly realized the significance of what we had discovered. In order for us to be successful, and to have the value that we’ve always wanted to have, we have to pay dues, pay tribute, and keep emphasizing the value of the people that trust us with their time, money, and support.

For this purpose, we’re going to spotlight a few people that have held it down for Dead Era, and supported us from the ground up! Without people like this, we wouldn’t get to do what we love everyday!

Here’s a few photos of the people representing Dead Era from all around the world!

Thank you, everyone for supporting the brand, and for making our dreams possible!

COASTING THROUGH LIFE

“Things are moving fast.”

Really?  With those words, or even the very thought, we huddle in a concrete fallout shelter and wait for the Understatement Police with their burrowing robot badgers, zip-tie handcuffs and brain erasers to come calling.

Truth is, things are hauling ass.  A tide of digits and bits and bytes with dangerous undercurrent is chewing up the beach.  Red flags are flying.  The lifeguards have gone home to watch “Baywatch” on VHS.  Why not?  At least you can rewind.  That’s a unique feature that doesn’t come with life.

Well, aren’t we all yearning for someone who can turn on a little stopping power?”   Firesign Theater

Do it.  Kick back on the pedals, throw your hips and lay a mean brodie.  Make a mark.  Lay some rubber.  This ain’t graphical user interface.  This ain’t MP3.  It’s ancient mechanical physics from the Dead Era.

FINITE.

Building a brand that focuses on the mission of restoring culture through art, clothing, and lifestyle means providing a product that is fresh. Because of this, we refuse to reprint any t-shirts with exception of logo-based tees. Any art-based clothing item that you see on our website will never be reprinted, even if it promises to be wickedly successful for us.

That said, we don’t order massive quantities of clothing–we want our customers, particularly the customers that have flocked to our store and blog in the last month to have something that not many other people in the world have… Something to share with one another.

We’ve always loved the feeling of opening a package in the mail, and having it be an experience that lasts. This is what we intend to bring to you. So, enjoy your clothing, and know that anything purchased is endangered, or will be extinct in the future. It’s more fun for everyone that way.

OPENING UP

Before we begin on our mission, we have to do what any kind human being would do when approaching a stranger. We’re going to introduce ourselves. It is important that you know who we are so that you can know where we are coming from. Hopefully, by now, if you are interested in our brand, you have perused the “Our Story” page and generated a simple feel for what we stand for. However, “Our Story” could not be fully encompassed by an illustration, in fact it builds on itself every day.

First, I will introduce myself: Morty (pictured above). I’m a zombie, much like any of you, and I have one purpose. My cause, similar to anyone lucky enough to be given the opportunity of life, is to…  live. That being said, I have spent a large portion of my early years dead. But no longer. No, we’ve all traveled too far now and we’ve agreed to abandon the conventional and routine ways. Our choice is to live, not simply exist, boxed in the belly of the beast. However, make no mistake, we are ALL in the belly of the beast.  We will plot our escape together.

IT’S ALIVE!

The day is finally here. Some of you may have been waiting for this day for 2 months, but we’ve been waiting for it for 3 years. It’s been a good wait… A healthy wait… To prepare to do something bigger than us… To provide a product that doesn’t suck, that carries meaning into a world of irrelevancies… To fight the influence of artificiality, and restore culture as much as we can to a generation that leaves it at the gate.

We don’t have false dreams of changing the world, but what we do have is a pledge to make an impact on our customers, our followers, our… zombies. After all, we are all zombies infected with the influence of popular society, reality television, constant satellite social interaction. We have no ambition to cure you… We have a drive to feed you what you need and crave–the flesh of substance, knowledge, and culture…

What you can expect from us is unfiltered life with no propaganda. In fact, we encourage you to vote with your wallet. Our job is to make an impact on you whether you be the purchaser, the reader, the doubter, or the evangelist. The objective is not to usurp your pocketbooks, but rather address a longing in your heart for raw life. We are confident that we can meet this goal, and provide you with superior products, service, and entertainment.
