El Toro’s history is well documented and with Jamie Foy‘s new front crook taking place and playing part in his SOTY win for 2017, you have to hand it to the man, he put a shift in. Watch this My War clip from Thrasher on how it happened. Rad history.
Laurent Garnier provides the soundtrack for Öctagon’s latest edit featuring their new garm collection. Click play for shredding, surveillance and note that their shop can be found here.
Mike Anderson, Brad Cromer, Bobby Worrest, Sebo Walker and Matt Gottwig roam Barcelona spots in this extended bonus edit from the LSD video from Krooked. If you’ve not seen this full length yet, then get the teas on tonight and dive in here.
If you managed to see the premiere online over the weekend then you know Sk8 Mafia have rolled out a peach. Here’s what went into Tiago Lopes‘ part from this Rough Cut, a man whose insta feed you should definitely follow.
Not to be confused with Tiago Lemos though, of course.
He was in my top 3 for SOTY, personally but Daan will get his when the time is right. What is there not to love about his skate game though? Rough Cuts….the best way to really understand what goes into an edit, all day long. Get stuck in.
Manual/combo master, Preston Harper is back with another laid-back edit filled with fast feet on crusty spots. He’d fit right in here in London. If you dig the tune head here to fund Glued.
Inspired by the abomination of shite news across the world thanks to the pillocks that were voted to actually SERVE us, we got caught in a fuck-muddle of an afternoon of not giving a flying fuck and decided to do this fuck list. It took no longer than 20 minutes to throw together and if you have better suggestions then leave them in the comments below, or just fuck off. List features are for twonks.
10. Wesley Willis – Fuck You
Wesley Lawrence Willis was a singer-songwriter and artist from Chicago. Diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1989, he spent much of his life living on the streets. He had a tough life and a lot to say fuck you about. Let’s all say Fuck You for Willis. RIP.
9. Poison Idea – Made To Be Broken
Frontman Jerry A gets a Fuck You in before the song has even had a chance to get started. And when the song explodes it’s a total aural Fuck You in your ears. Kings of Punk. Kings of Fuck You.
8. Trail of Dead – A Perfect Teenhood
Tommy Gun
Blood Lust
A perfect teenhood
Fuck You
They’ve released a barrage of amazing records and this is up their with their very fucking best.
7. Articles of Faith – Give Thanks
Vic Bondi’s AOF has the best Fuck You in the breakdown of this Chicago hardcore classic. “We must spread this to all people” says Bondi in this tune and it certainly traveled far and wide. It’s a burst of frustration that has always been a favourite for many.
6. Albertos Y Lost Trios Paranoias – Fuck You
Comedy bandwagon jumpers, Albertos Y Lost Trios Paranoias released this straight up message in 1978. I remember playing it on Glastonbury Radio when I was asked to play there in 1996 and we got shut down and thrown off site. Always better to have a memory like that than a boring one.
5. GG Allin – You Hate Me and I Hate You
“Well, you hate me and I hate you. You never understand the things I say or do – So what’s new? You never liked me so I say Fuck You.” A perfect Fuck You from everyone’s favourite poop-flinging fuck-up. Go find the new documentary, ‘The Allins: One Hell of a Family’ that premiered this winter. Absolutely mental viewing.
4. Cee Lo Green – Fuck You
Take a break from the barrage of punk rock for Cee Lo Green’s absolute tune with the best message of all time. The first message on this YouTube clip reads: “dedicated to my ex boyfriend”. Nuff said.
3. Fear – I Don’t Care About You
It doesn’t get much more fuck you than LA punks Fear, famed for baiting the crowd so much that their gigs would more often than not explode into violence. They truly didn’t give a fuck and don’t care about you, fuck you.
2. The Subhumans – Fuck You
One of the most covered and famous Fuck You songs in punk. Both DOA and New York Metalheads Overkill and The Stiffs covered this, but Canadian (not UK) punks The Subhumans were the ones to do it first.
1. Conflict – The Day Before
Welcome to one of the most super-charged, anarchic, punk rock tracks of all time. A tune that spits venom on the prospect of nuclear war whilst at the same time pays respect to unity and dub. Conflict’s seriously explosive Ungovernable Force album, released back in 1986, is one of the best ways to end a shit day if played on 11. Find it and embrace it, as Colin Jerwood’s vocals are still as relevant today and he will go down in history as one of the masters of all Fuck You’s.
BONUS FUCK:
Dead Kennedys – Nazi Punks Fuck Off
Yes, we know we cheated here, as Jello does not at any point say those two golden words, but in light of selfish politicians stirring up racial hatred worldwide you can suck our oil. Fuck You.
Vague Skate Mag’s latest feature tied in with footage is up in the form of the UK Etnies crew shredding spots across the British Isles.

Kevin Coakley’s latest Traffic section that we posted last week has now been given a new spruce up. Dive in.
