Skateboards and metal are certainly the flavour of the 80’s but the fad still rolls and the classics still appeal to many. This week Metallica’s members have all designed and released a collab shoe on Vans following their classic ‘Kill ‘Em All’ half cab last year, again in celebration of their milestone sussecc of their epic debut album.
Bass player Robert Trujillo chose to add his own take on the Escuela shoe with an Aztec design, James Hetfield picked a Sk8-Hi and added his own skull and crossbones, drummer Lars Ulrich has an Era Laceless with added twill/diamond pattern from his snare drum, and guitarist Kirk Hammett has rolled out a hemp based Slip-On that features a Ouija guitar pick in the heel.
These should be available this month.
Since the release of their debut album, Don Broco have risen from local Bedfordshire heroes to that loveable band that do that funky walk in one of their videos. Not many others would get away with such bollocks but it seems as though the band whose album ‘Priorities’ has been a talking point in the rock scene have got away with it and are moving forwards.
Emma Wallace sat down with the band before their album hit record stores, so if you want to hear a game of ‘snog, marry, push off a cliff’ and more, then press play.
Their new single, ‘Fancy Dress’ is currently available for free download. Follow your nose here to pick it up.
Number one album rockers Biffy Clyro have been announced as headliners of Reading & Leeds this year with System Of A Down, Fall Out Boy, Foals, Jake Bugg and Bring Me The Horizon also joining the festival line up. Tickets are on sale now here.
One more headline act is yet to be revealed, who could it be? My Bloody Valentine maybe?

Heroin Skateboards have liberated Deer Man of Dark Woods’ section from the 2007 DVD release of Magic Sticky Hand. If you missed the full sections released last week of Rogie, Colin Fiske, Jon Monie and Chris Ault then head for these hills.
