The Music Tee is a new product line that combines digital music and t-shirt fashion in one eye and ear-catching package. Each Music Tee features an artist (or compilation) with a graphic image (“cover art”) on the front of the shirt and a track listing on the back. Each shirt comes with a unique code that can be used to download a digital copy of the album featured on the shirt, redeemable at www.themusictee.com. The result is a new way of delivering music to fans, allowing them to easily fill their iPod while landing the “album art” a coveted place in their wardrobe!
Already generating a huge buzz state-side, The Music Tee boasts over fifty artist collaborations, including
The Cold War Kids, Devendra Banhart, Amanda Blank, The Plasticines, Mos Def, Band of Skulls, Monsters of Folk and more. The line has also launched a “vintage” collection, featuring
