The Shitkickers had a couple songs […]

Madrid: Cadillac Wheels 52mm 92a Durometer Cadillac Wheels were the first production urethane skateboard wheels in 1973. Frank Nasworthy is credited with bringing the urethane wheel to skateboarding, almost as if he invented them. The history books (and films) are not very clear on how these wheels differed, if at all, from the preexisting urethane […]

Madrid Skateboards Cadillac Trucks 5.5″ I got these trucks to set up on a retro cruiser hybrid because I figured I wouldn’t need the performance and I wanted to match the styling to the appropriate era. I suppose I could have just gotten Indy’s but I don’t have a wholesale connection there so that was […]

8″ x 31.25″ 14.25″ Wheelbase Chances are you might have heard of M and M Skateboards from Portland Oregon if only from the brief spotlight in the Buddy Nichols & Rick Charnoski Film Northwest. In any case, M and M is a small operation (getting bigger!) that started as a DIY project in the late […]

The Johns hail from Southern California and they sound like it. Featuring members from Die Hunns, Fuel, The Adz, The Crowd, The Bleeders, The Grabbers, The Pushers & Chester Bennington’s Bucket Of Weenies. Most of those bands I’ve never heard of and since there isn’t nine guys in the Johns I assume they have been […]

Eldorado and the Ruckus features Eldorado Del Rey formerly of the Porch Ghouls. While the Porch Ghouls had Cramps comparisons, The Ruckus can inevitably be compared to Jon Spencer and the Blues Explosion. Reading some of the song titles and the press for this record I was hoping for more of an early Gun Club […]

Perish: Our Sin Label: Anko Records Release Date: 6/26/06 Review Date: 6/08/06 Emo metal with a death-metal vocal seemingly pasted over the top. Dramatic, sensitive high school poetry for lyrics worthy of a Winona Ryder type character in Beetlejuice. Seriously, who thought this was a good idea? The title song shows potential until the Death […]
