Yes, the bands receive royalties from every product sold at the catacombs. We only sell offficial, licensed merchandise. Some bands even sell their merch to us directly, thereby resulting in an even greater profit for their work.
Think of it this way: Buying a shirt is like buying a CD. You may not deal with the band directly, but by purchasing their work you are supporting them.
Buying from an authorized merchandise company like us (who deals directly with bands' licensors/management and/or record labels; with us there is no middle-man or drop-shipper), is the same as walking into your local HMV or Sam Goody and picking up the band's latest album.
All of us here at the catacombs are huge music fans, so you can bet a large portion of our paychecks go right back into the band's pockets as well!
