Perfection As a Hipster

You're walking down the street in your skinny jeans, thick-rimmed glasses, over-sized headphones, and you're thinking to yourself: if only I had a hipster shirt to go with this outfit...

The Yellow Bird Project is a young Montreal-based non-profit that 1. raises money for charities by selling t-shirts designed by indie rock bands, 2. raises awareness for those charities through the artists' endorsement, and 3. picks up on some great new bands. Each webpage says a little bit about the shirt, a little bit about the band, and a little bit about the charity.

Par Example (French, because this is based in Canada, eh?):

Stars / Le Chaînon Women's Shelter



Grizzly Bear / Brighter Planet



The National / Safe Space



Plus: the Indie Rock Coloring Book. (Secretly you know you want it. I do.)
