Verbal Abuse for your Valentine

The Berkeley, California skatepark will host the rain delayed Day After St Valentines Day Skate Massacre on this Sunday the 22nd of February. That’s a mouthful. Is that vintage hardcore act Verbal Abuse I see on the flyer as well? Yes it is! I’m sure they’ve aged well, like a fine, angry wine. Catch the […]

Lux Interior dies

Bad news for bad people

It’s an even blacker day for the black-hearted. As a long time fan of the Cramps, I was saddened to learn of his death the other day. I had some photos from a Cramps show that I was going to post, but they were pre-digital camera and I can’t seem to find them in a […]

The Dwarves are young and good looking

Friday T&A on S&A: The Dwarves

The album may be from 1997, but that board is pure 1988. I’ve never heard the Dwarves, but they have quite a reputation. You can see the album cover for The Dwarves are Young & Good Looking wherever the CD is sold, or visit the official Dwarves web site. Nash pasties added to keep us […]

New JFA record, old Lurkers record

Of JFA and the Lurkers.

There’s no relation whatsoever. I got a press release from DC Jams records letting me know that JFA is going to release a live album called “To All Our Friends” in April. It’s been 10 years since a full length release from JFA. I’ve never been a super huge JFA fan, I always like the […]

Stinkbug at the Ash St Saloon

Say it loud, I’m stinkbug and proud

The Northwest’s newest skate rock band STINKBUG is making it’s live debut Tuesday the 13 at the Ash Street Saloon in Portland at 9pm. Right now it’s a two piece featuring our own Heath on guitar and friend of the site Troy Sliter who just happens to be the Monday Cover over at Earth Patrol […]

Code of Honor

I should have made this post on Tuseday. On this date in 1982, (December 9th) Code Of Honor released their debut single, “What Are We Gonna Do?” It was backed by “What Price Would You Pay? Neither track appeared on an album. The San Francisco hardcore punk band released a split album with Sick Pleasure […]

Jefferson Starship - Skateboard

Jefferson Starship – Skateboard circa 1976

Remember the novelty Sneakers and Lace and the Skateboardin’ USA album? Jefferson Starship has a track called Skateboard on their 1976 album titled Earth. T.Rex had a demo track called Skateboard, but I don’t know the date of that one since it wasn’t released. I think I’d actually rather listen to Sneakers and Lace’ hokey […]

I want candy in a skateboard

I want candy (in a skateboard)

I’ll use any excuse to pst a picture of Annabella Lwin, including colored sugar balls stuffed inside a hollow plastic skateboard. There are at least two versions available, the invert espousing “Loose Bearingz” and the more succinct “Rad.” Pics and bonus vid of Bow Wow Wow’s version of “I want Candy” after the jump.

Globe / Devo Airport Survival Collection

The Devo Airport Survival Collection

Globe has teamed up with the band that brought you the first ever music video featuring skateboarding. Of course I’m talking about Devo’s Freedom of Choice. Prove me wrong if you can. Skater Dater doesn’t count, it’s a short film meant to showcase skating, not to provide visual accompaniment for an existing song. You might […]
