Trying to find out how to get permission from record labels and bands to print some concert t-shirts and material. Looking for older and more modern band/musicians.
I see there are companies all over the web that have the license but I cant find any info on how to get the permission myself.
Anyone have any info or suggestions on where to look?

contact management, not the labels. The labels seldom have rights over merchandise. management is always listed in liner notes.

thats good advice, I was hoping there would be a central place that had made deals to resell all the rights but I guess I'm going to have to go one by one and make individual deals.

That might be true for some retro/defunct bands. Rights get bought and sold by holding companies and they license them out. If you have any legit product lying around then the licensor will be TM'd "distributed under license by...." If there's no TM or legal line then it's likely a knock-off
