This is what Doug wrote to his US wholesale accounts. I am posting this because I think he forgot how to blog.

"A lot of you have been hitting us up, asking when the REBEL8 x Rancid collaboration will be dropping. Well, the time has finally come! Let me be the first to tell you all about it. This is a small capsule collection titled "Journey To The End"; paying homage to a band that everyone here at REBEL8 grew up listening to. I hope you are just as STOKED on this as we are. Tees, tanks, a hoodie, poster, stickers and even a cut 'n sew top for the ladies.

This collaboration is special to me in a lot of ways. Rancid was one of the first bands that I ever really got into as a kid. I still remember when I got my first guitar, sitting in my bedroom trying to learn how to play “Salvation”. Growing up in a small town in Northern California, Rancid painted such an amazing picture of the SF/Bay Area in all of their lyrics. I always knew that I wanted to end up living here when I got older. It’s kind of crazy to look back on that now, living in the same neighborhood a lot of their songs were written about.  I’ve actually gotten to know these guys a bit which is even crazier!"

Journey To The End will be available in select accounts this June.
