Welcome to Bad Times Apparel. We’re not just a clothing brand — we’re a reminder that no matter how “adult” life gets, the spirit of punk, metal, and emo never fades. We get it. We’re all trying to juggle 9-to-5s and maybe even pretending to be responsible. But deep down, we’re all still those rebellious kids screaming along to songs in our cars, headbanging to our favorite albums, and living for the next show.

I’m Dan, the man behind Bad Times Apparel. I’ve been playing in bands for 25 years, from gritty pubs to festival stages, and through it all, one thing has remained the same — music is the heartbeat of my existence. The kind of music that spoke to you when life didn’t make sense, the music that helped you survive those “bad times”.

At Bad Times Apparel, we design clothes that speak to that same punk rock spirit, that dark humor, and the recognition that while our lives may be a little less rock-and-roll now, we’ll never let go of the music that made us who we are. So, whether you're a desk job or dropping your kids off at school, our gear is here to remind you that it's okay to still be a little bit of a mess — and have a damn good laugh about it.

Thanks for supporting a solo operation run by a guy who's just trying to keep his passion alive and get some laughs along the way. Because, at the end of the day, we may be adults, but we’re never too old for the music that shaped us. Stay loud. Stay weird.

Big Love,
Dan
