this is how we roll
We like to put our money where our mouth is. We assume you do too. And, for that reason, we are here to tell you exactly what we stand for. Not into it? Go get your “biscuit” fix somewhere else.
We’re colorful in character. Emphasizing and amplifying Nashville’s colorful and strange nature, our proclivity for the unique allows us to support creatives and uplift the unconventional.
We’re compassionate in creation. By placing compassion— for Earth, for animals, for each other—at the center of our creation, we have committed ourselves to conscious consumption and contributing to the community.
We’re punk in ethos. Combining the two ideologies of veganism and punk, we are and will always be anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, anti-militarist, anti-authoritarian, anti-sexist, anti-racist, anti-homophobic, and pro-animal rights.
1. SUPPORT CREATIVES
Where would we be without creative freedom? Idk and I don’t wanna know. Here are some people we support:
Our friends at Risology Club printed our bizkit bags.
Our friends at Merch Kitchen and Grand Palace screen printed our shirts.
Our friends Cymone Wilder, Adam, Small Hands Creative, Monica Murray, Josh Bethea and Rachel Growden have taken our photos.
Our friends Drew Gliever, Gabby Herrera, Louie Capozzoli, Mary Harvey and Sean Brice and have designed a bizkit bag.
2. UPLIFT THE UNCONVENTIONAL
We’re doing whatever the fuck we want, and we want you to, too. Some unique creations we’ve facilitated are:
A branded cooler bag produced by Zoop.
A bizkit candle hand sculpted, scented and poured by Glow Worm Woods.
A bizkit crewneck featuring a hand-sewn tag and a Chad Koeplinger design printed by Grand Palace.
3. CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY
Our community is central to our existence, so it is our job to support it. Some things we do to give back include:
Donating to community funds and local organizations like Nashville Humane Association, the Nashville Bail Fund, and Gideon’s Army.
Bringing bizkits and other groceries to the Nashville Community Fridge in North Nashville.
Subscribing to a monthly donation to the Equity Alliance and drkmttr.
4. CONSUME CONSCIOUSLY
It is our duty to ourselves, Nashville and you to operate responsibility. We do what we can and are always looking for ways to do better. Right now, we are:
Sourcing ingredients from regional businesses like Suraj Spices & Teas and Spring Valley Farms.
Growing our own peppers and herbs seasonally.
Composting all packaging and compostable food scraps.
Remaining proactive, educated and current on best and safest practices for all.
5. LIVE ANTI-OPPRESSION
We’ve centered our lives around compassion, equity and justice. We believe in and actively participate in the fight for total liberation, and here’s how:
Being privately, publicly and proudly outspoken.
Standing in opposition to the objectification and commodification of existence and other forms of violence.
Acknowledging and challenging our own role in mainstream veganism, capitalism and other hierarchical systems.
