Every Time I Die have announced the release of a weekly web series entitled ‘Shit Happens: The Series?‘. The series will follow Buffalo’s most notorious hardcore party fiends as they encounter stupid and awesome crap that only Keith Buckley and his troupe could encounter.
Bassist Josh Newton insists that this isn’t a serious documentary or an attempt to be funny and to distract from touring, “It’s us being idiots” he says.
The first full episode will air on July 28th and you can stream the series’ theme song here.
In addition this, the band have announced a tour of Europe, which includes UK dates. These are a bloody exciting band to see live so don’t hesitate to pick up tickets.

Witchcraft are channeling all the energy of the lost souls that have joined their campaign and are becoming more present on the web.
Here we see ten tricks at Dorking skatepark with Jamie ‘Argh’ Morley and though this one is safe for work unlike the incredible PROMO which scarred many and converted even more.

The national unsponsored competition is back at Adrenaline Alley in Corby this year on July 25th.
The comp designed exclusively for unsponsored skaters to get out there and show the UK how much raw, unearthed talent there is. So if you’re under 16 and think you’re something then stop pissing around at your local park and shake up the scene a bit at Young Guns this month.
Entry costs a tenner but there’s a mammoth load of prizes to be won and a banging time to be had. Get out there and get some this summer.
Last year’s Vans Shop Riot comp went off in Manchester and this year we head to Leeds at The Works to see skate shops from across the UK throw their best riders into the fray for chance to get to the finals in Switzerland.
The event kicks off on July 18th and it’s free entry so get down and don’t be surprised if you get caught up somewhere in the torrent of brilliant garbage and inspirational heckling from Marc Churchill’s megaphone.
The legendary DIY spot in Laupside, Aldershot will be the host for a mental skate jam on July 17th to raise funds to expand the spot and make the place even better to skate.
‘Come Join Me At Laupside‘ will have what all skateboarder’s need, a raging BBQ, booze, live bands and of course, some free stuff up for grabs.
So come one, come all to what’s sure to be a rad day out for an excellent cause too. Get to it.
Are you like us and like to geek out over everything to do with the four wheeled plank we worship? Who did what, at which spot, on what board, with who filming and how many tries it took and was it ABD in 411 Issue no.52?
Well, get hyped because a new trivia game will be testing all of the knowledge acquired from slacking on the real world and watching skate videos with some of skateboarding’s most fun-to-watch nerds. The series kicks off on Transworld’s website with an inevitable banger, Rick Howard and Mike Carroll. Have a look below for the trailer and stay tuned…
DVS have posted a video of their recent ‘Don’t Mess With Raising Arizona‘ tour through Arizona and Texas with some typically rad park shredding from the likes of Jimmy Cao, Marty Murawski, Nick Garcia, T-Puds, Kerry Getz, and Andrew Brophy.
Marty’s fakie manuals have become otherworldly so tuck-in to this great clip and keep your eyes open for some Daewon mini-ramp lines near the end. Summer is really, really good.
Just a reminder for you Birmingham heads out there, the premiere of Gnargore’s ‘Wizard Council‘ is this Saturday on July 17th!
The premiere will be held in the Mixing Bowl Theatre in the Custard Factory in Birmingham. And if your thirst for gnar isn’t quenched by the mosher drop, wallride and tight jean fest that the video promises to be then be prepared for some frontside slashing on the Ideal mini-ramp during the messy after party.
It’s two quid on the door and they’ll be Fallen Footwear, A Third Foot and Witchcraft goods as raffle prizes so get your beers and attend what’s sure to be a sick night.
Stay tuned for a monster interview feature with the Gnargore boys which will be online very soon…
