If you want to contribute to a good cause and get some sweet merch in the process, you may want to head up to to Chain Reaction on Saturday afternoon.
Epitaph Records will be slinging shirts and more out of a pop-up shop to raise money for LA band The Ghost Inside (as well as their crew and others involved) after the band was in a fatal car crash last week.

All proceeds will go directly to the those affected by the tragedy, and Epitaph will be there for roughly three hours beginning at 1 p.m., so there's really no reason to go check some people off of your holiday shopping list while supporting the music community.
Even if you're not a fan of the metalcore band, the merch will be from all different Epitaph bands, so there's sure to be something for everyone. Plus, you don't want to be that one Grinch who doesn't help a charity or someone in need during the holiday season.
Too busy to make it to the pop-up shop but still want to prove you're not a totally heartless music snob? Don't worry, there's a GoFundMe page for the band as well. They're almost at their goal of $150k, so maybe you can feel good about being the donation to push them over the edge.
