It seems that good news is about to hit London as it will soon have another concrete skatepark to shred in January 2009. The Danson Skatepark was funded by a national lottery grant and will rep a bowl and small street area. We hear that the area itself looks pretty safe with surrounding football pitches and Leisure centre very close and it’s also nearby to Bexleyheath train station with a 5-10 minute skate to get there. Parking looks like it will be good and looks likely to close at 8pm every night so plenty of time to get a shred on.
The parks concrete is currently setting and will take a while. It’s pretty safe to say DO NOT skate this park until it’s officially open just like any other as the concrete will become rough as a badgers arse once it sets if you decide an early session is a good idea. Check it out below and thanks to Thomas Hardcastle for the pics and info.

Yet another in a seemingly endless stream of talent suckling on the murky River Aire, before leaving the greying hues of Leeds and West Yorkshire to show the rest of the country just how this music thing should be done.
Beneath four masses of faded hoodies, tatty jeans and unkempt hair is the musical rumbling buzzing on lips across the country, Pulled Apart By Horses. For once, this isn’t about being part of a cool scene, having loads of myspace friends or catching onto the next hip thing. The fact is that they are, simply put, just really fucking good.
Recently released on tiny DIY label Big Scary Monsters, ‘Meat Balloon‘ is this lot’s first physical offering and comes on limited edition white 7″ vinyl. Already we’re in love… Contained within it’s grooves are dense and elastic bass lines that bounce like space hoppers, squealing guitars and smashed glass fevered vocals. Throwing a gracious nod to Rage Against The Machine and the gods of grunge, theirs is a sound that’s filthy rotten and caked in sweat, yet strangely invigorating and move-busting.
With half the music press hot on their tails after only 7 months of existence, Pulled Apart By Horses have an awful lot of hype to live up to and maintain, but so far it seems that’s not going to be a problem at all.
