Jeff Lohrber (Enabler)

SPB: How do you choose your t-shirt/merchandise designs?

Lohrber: When we approach t-shirt designs or album artwork, we do our best to make it fit with the overall feel of our music. We are a dark, pissed, aggressive band, but I feel that there is a little more substance behind the music and emotion than your typical angry band. We try to work with artists who do original artwork, and usually try to base the theme of the piece on lyrics to a certain song, or something that captures the overall vibe of the record. We've always wanted designs that are tasteful, but also keep in my "is this something that I would purchase if I wasn't in the band". We've always felt that the art is an extension of the bands sound.
