The Music Tee is a new product line that combines digital music and t-shirt fashion in one eye and ear-catching package.

The line has also launched a “vintage” collection, featuring Bad Brains, Fela Kuti, Bad Religion and The Exciter, with more titles coming soon.

We are excited about engaging music and fashion fans in the UK while continuing to grow our collection of compelling artists.”

REVIEWS

“If you're still mourning the loss of your ex-boyfriend's perfectly holey (and holy!) Led Zeppelin tee shirt that you lost in the breakup, take heart: Another perfect marriage of soft cotton and hard rock..”
GLAMOUR, MAY 26 2009

“Should The Music Tee concept take off, we're hoping it will not only give artists some much needed sales, but that, in this age where most music consumers never even see liner notes, it will also reinvigorate the art of the album cover. While it's certainly nice to hang an LP on your wall, being able to wear it may be even cooler.”
TRENDCENTRAL, JUNE 25 2009

“Selling albums these days is hard! So the music/fashion company Invisible DJ...has come up with this idea called the Music Tee.”
PITCHFORK, JUNE 16 2009

“the t-shirt has the album art on the front and the track list on the back, presumably so you can (visually) broadcast to whoever you're around what they should be listening to.”
AOL 'THE BOOMBOX', JUNE 16 2009

“Rather than accept the decline of the physical album as an inevitability, some people are taking active steps to avert it. Case in point: music/fashion impresarios Invisible DJ... designed the first ever "Music Tee”
PASTE, JUNE 18 2009

“Note to bands, clothing is a necessity in life, music, no matter how much we wish for it, isn’t. Are you picking up what I’m putting down?”
LOST IN A SUPERMARKET, MAY 28 2009
