After literal months of procrastinating this since last year, it's finally fucking finished. For context, I started making a new battle vest last year, I had already made one prior but the vest I chose for it wasn't suitable as there were so many holes that were too wide (haha) that I couldn't sow any patches onto it, so I started a new one with more experience and slightly more planning.

I decided to start on the back patch first and of course, I decided to make a back patch of The Voidz, one of my current favorite bands for the past 2 or 3 years. I'll put some pictures of the design process below but to sum it up, it's a combination of the covers of my favourite album and all my favourite singles, try and see if you can spot all of them, there are 5 in total :]

here's the design process below the cut

This time around is a little different. I absolutely love music, especially rock, so I figured it was time to start showing my appreciating for a few musicians from some of my favourite bands. I tried to keep this list restricted to artists/bands specifically from this century. The Stokes predate the 21st century by two years, you'll have to forgive me.

Also this has more to do with the actual bands then the specific dudes listed below.

***The following 10 men/bands were selected simply because they were the first to pop into my head, and are presented in no particular order. These man are also not limited to or defined by the bands they are listed with.

Part Two and Part Three

Masterlist

1. Brett Emmons, the frontman for the Glorious Sons (2011-present).

I got to see these guys live pre-pandemic for their hometown show during the War On Everything tour.

Favourite song: Sometimes on a Sunday

2. Jesse Rutherford, the frontman for the Neighbourhood (2011-present?).

I'm not gonna lie, I don't know much about Jesse or the Neighbourhood. Adds a little flair to my playlist tho.

Favourite song: Sweater Weather

3. Fabrizio Moretti, the drummer for the Stokes (1998-present).

What can I say - nay - what more is there to say then these dudes are a total f*cking vibe.

Favourite song: Why Are Sundays So Depressing

4. Josh Kiszka, the frontman for Greta Van Fleet (2012-present).

I used to rag on these guys because of there clear cut influence from Led Zeppelin, but you know what? I grew up and realized its a f*cking compliment to be compared to arguable the best rock band to ever exist. They're not ripping off anything... Well maybe those outfits, but still, get over it.

Favourite song: Black Smoke Rising

5. Damiano David, the frontman for Maneskin (2016-present).

I can't speak a single word of Italian, but that doesn't stop me from trying to sing along... Sorry.

Favourite song: Torna a Casa

6. Alex Turner, the frontman for the Arctic Monkeys & The Last Shadow Puppets (2002-present & 2007-present).

I have no words for what this man's voice does to me. He looks so good I bet he sells like ghost cookies.

Favourite song: Piledriver Waltz &

7. Luke Spiller, the frontman for the Struts (2012-presest).

This mans exudes Freddy Mercury, Mick Jagger, and David Bowie vibes and I'm living for it.

Favourite song: Put Your Money On Me

8. Alex Espiritu, the bassist for Badflower (2013-present).

Honestly, I haven't been listening to these guys for very long but they sound very promising. Good soup.

Favourite song: Machine Gun

9. Jeff Kite, on keys for the Voidz (2013-present).

Here is some more honesty... I like the Strokes better, but these guys have there own thing going and I can't really complain.

Favourite song: Leave It In My Dreams

10. Marc Labelle, the frontman for Dirty Honey (2017-present).

These guys sound more old school then most of the other bands on this list. Still feeling 'em out, but they too are very promising.

Favourite song: Another Last Time
