Hum is an American alternative rock band formed in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, in 1989, known for combining crushing, heavily distorted guitars with dreamy melodies, spacey atmospheres, and introspective lyrics. Their distinctive sound landed somewhere between shoegaze, post-hardcore, alternative rock, and space rock, with massive walls of guitar wrapped around understated, almost conversational vocals. After building a devoted underground following, Hum broke through with 1995’s You’d Prefer an Astronaut, followed by the even denser and more atmospheric Downward Is Heavenward in 1998, released just as alternative rock’s mainstream heyday was beginning to fade. Hum broke up in 2000 but reunited for occasional performances in the years that followed, including an appearance at Furnace Fest in Birmingham, Alabama, in 2003. This design recreates the killer Japanese tokusatsu-inspired Hum graphic that was available exclusively at that show—a wonderfully strange mashup of the band’s spacey aesthetic and vintage Japanese sci-fi style.
Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch, making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
