Bleakness "LA Wildfire Benefit" Shirt

Los Angeles faced devastating wildfires in early January 2025, leaving many in our community deeply affected.

Our close friend, collaborator, and all-around incredible person, Derrick—who co-released the Bleakness Life at a Standstill LP on his outstanding label, FDL Records—tragically lost his home in the recent Altadena wildfires. The house, which he shared with his partner and other members of a peaceful art co-op, was completely destroyed.

To help Derrick and his community rebuild, we’ve teamed up with Nico from Bleakness to offer a limited-edition Bleakness shirt, printed by the talented Andrew Gomez. All proceeds from this design will go directly to Derrick and his co-op to assist in recovering from this immense loss.

For more details, check out the LA Times article below, which provides further insight into the situation. The outpouring of support from our scene has been truly inspiring, and we hope to continue spreading Derrick’s story—along with those of others who have endured this unimaginable hardship.
