One of the brands we're now very pleased to be able to offer to our customers is Mishka. This iconic clothing company emerged out of Brooklyn and a quick glance across their range shows the kind of vibe they're going for. We're talking skate culture, punk and hardcore, 80s movies, video games and pop culture references.

Basically, they take inspiration from a load of stuff that they like and they end up as one of the hottest brands around.

Take this blog post for example...

Anyone who takes the time to extol the virtues of Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a goddamn hero if you ask us. So here are a few items that we've got in stock to satiate your desire for awesome Mishka clothing... Click on any of the pics for more info!

One question we're asked on a regular basis is "Why isn't there any video on www.thealternativestore.net?" and the simple answer is that we've never made inroads to create our own videos.

Travis Barker is something of a legend around these parts, largely due to his association with Blink 182, Famous Stars and Straps and more recently Lil Wayne. We're currently loving this clip of him soundchecking for a show on his recent tour...



This is absolutely fantastic. Don't be alarmed, there's no animal harm in it, just watch it til the end and follow the onscreen instructions. Very clever stuff...



A selection of our fave videos wouldn't be complete without something from The Lonely Island. This one is taken from their new album Turtleneck and Chain.



We'll be updating our blog and our website soon with our own clips along with some more of our current favourites from the internets, so check back here soon...
