Wrist sweatbands and headbands are all pretty amazing things, but the real question is: what else can these wondrous items be used for?

This article will take you through just about everything a sweatband can be used for, from a company who knows- SerTop has been designing and producing custom sweatbands for clients around the world for the past few years and is not afraid to tell you how to use them. Some ideas on the list will seem obvious; others may be a complete surprise to you.

Band Merchandise – Sweatbands are great when it comes to a product for your band to sell. They sell better than T-shirts and the profit margin is bigger. Plus you don’t have to worry about size because ONE SIZE FITS ALL! That means no more ordering 6 small, 6 medium, 6 large and realizing that all your fans wear either Extra Small or Extra Large. What a bummer!

Sports Team apparel – This is a classic use for wrist and head sweatbands. They are great for sports like Tennis, Basketball, Baseball, Beach Volleyball, Wrestling, and I could go for an hour but I’m going to stop. The best part about sweatbands for your sports team is having the ability to customize them, and now you can with SerTop.

Promotional Product – Most people we talk to use these as an amazing promotional product. They put them on their bartenders, pass them out on the sidewalk for a cause, use them for a product launch, and more. It’s surprising how a simple logo and a website on a sweatband can go. When it comes to promotions not one is going to want to put on a T-shirt when you give it to them, but they’ll slip on that sweatband right away.

Sweat Absorbent- We are talking specifically for sweat absorbent, not for show. That means if you’re working at a construction site, you should invest in some custom headbands. This way sweat will stop getting in your eyes when you clearly need them the most. If you are running sweat headbands are also great to keep your head up, hands not full of sweat, and your air flowing smoothly.
A Product at Your Store – This is probably one of the best uses for sweatbands. Why? Well because number one you are branding and number 2 you are getting money for doing so. If you have your own shop than I would highly recommend investing in some custom sweatbands that you can put your logo or name on. Sell them as merchandise and watch in a few months how everyone seems to want one because their friends at the skate park have them.

Koozie – Have a cold drink? Wrap a sweatband around the drink and call it good. It’s one of the most unconventional uses for sweatbands yet, it works great.

Hair band – Headbands for your hair work great and you ladies probably have about a thousand of them. If you want to get creative and make your own design I would recommend SerTop.

An Accessory for your Pet – This one’s is always hilarious. “What’s that thing on your dog’s leg?” Oh, that’s his initials on a sweatband. Your pet is a pretty important thing to you, so you might-as-well make him happy with some cool accessories.

A Fashion Statement- Take yourself back to the 80’s, that’s right tube socks and sweatbands. Alright, now bring yourself back to now, anything goes. We live in a world were companies do not choose our fashion, but the individual does.

Seether “Rise Above This” Secrets about the song.

Getting your band on tour with major bands…..

Adam already told you all about Good Luck Varsity. Now I’m here to get up close and personal with them. Enjoy the interview and be sure to check out Good Luck Varsity!

First off i just want to say thanks for doing the interview and best of luck with everything in the future.

Thank you for asking us! I think your website is a really awesome idea!

How’d you all meet?

The origin of Good Luck Varsity is a really long and twisting story but I’ll try to keep it short. Essentially my brother Evan and I both played in a band called The Rising Tide. When all was said and done at the end of TRT we we’re actually pretty relieved to be done with it because it had strayed so far from what we really wanted to be doing. At first we recorded a couple demos in our basement and put them online and then we eventually recorded our EP Head High Heavy Hearted. We used the EP to get potential band mates interested in joining us and put an application up online. Richie and Tim we’re already our good friends and they we’re an easy choice.
Drew and Dan both responded to our search online and after hearing both of them play we canceled all of our other auditions because we knew that this was going to be our line up

Jordan, those are some rad YouTube videos! Anything out there that people MUST see if they haven’t yet?

Haha thank you! I guess besides music editing and directing videos has always been something I’ve loved to do.
Everybody should definitely check out “No, Frankenstein” I did the editing on that video and actually won an award for it

7 Members, wow, thats pretty amazing. What’s your writing process like?

Well we actually only play with 6 members live. Our good friend Jeriah is filling in on Guitar and vocals while Tim is away taking care of some things.

We’ve just recently started to write new music for a new EP that we’re planning to record and release sometime this year. Generally somebody brings the shell of a song to practice and we all work together to fill it out.We just recorded our first real song as a full band on Sunday and we’ll be posting it sometime soon

Tell us a little bit about the meaning behind the song “The Show Must Go On.” We really like the upbeat sound and keyboard effects in it.

“The Show Must Go On” was kind of our way of laying The Rising Tide to rest. Evan and I we’re a little disappointed with the way that everything went down at the end of TRT and the song addresses some of those issues. The song is definitely different than everything else we’ve written and it was the first song/demo we ever released. It’s strange in that it’s extremely upbeat and happy sounding but the only really happy part is the last verse which basically says that despite the fact that one door had closed in our faces God was there to open another one with even better things in store. I guess that’s why the song is called “The Show Must Go On”. I don’t write the lyrics for the band but in my mind I see “The Show Must Go On” as a precursor to “Plan B” which has a similar message to that last verse that I mentioned.

What does everyone do when you guys aren’t jammin out?

Well you already know that I do videos sometimes, and I also like to go to the movies every chance I get. Evan spends a lot of time playing and coaching soccer, Richie is really into Airsoft and recently Xbox 360, Dan loves playing his guitar and Legend of Zelda games, Drew seems to really enjoy selling computers at Best Buy and reading the Chronicles of Narnia out loud and doing different voices for each character, Jeriah is really into watching reruns of One Tree Hill, and Tim loves creating new sandwiches out of strange ingredients.

As a band, what would be your dream show? (any venue, any line up, ect)

Oh man that’s tough. I’m sure every one of the guys would say something different but I think we’re all really looking forward to being on Cornerstone Festival this Summer.
I think that we are the only unsigned band on the actual festival which is really amazing

A shout out to any fans?

We have really awesome fans, we love all of the kids that come out to support us in our home town and at the Wayne shows which are always a huge success. We love playing free shows for our fans and I think that they really appreciate that. We try really hard to have at least one or two free shows every couple months as our way of saying thank you to all of our fans. We love all of you and without you we’d have really really boring weekends.

When most people think of Michigan they think of a broke, lazy, and very cold state. What they don’t see is the enormous amount of talent in the mist. We know of a group that stands above the crowd. A band like this is a true diamond in the ruff. You’d expect to see these guys in New York, or maybe California. We found them in good old Detroit, Michigan. The band “Pillar of Autumn” has some serious kick ass songs and got more on the way. Make sure you listen to “Carpe Diem”. Click Here to check them out.
