Dan Drehobl VOX footage
The legendary Dan Drehobl features in the latest VOX Footwear promo this week. See what Dan hucks out, straight out of the box and look out for these shoes being distributed by I-Five in the UK this winter.
Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks have released a new video for their controversial single Senator this week.
Stephen Malkmus is the singer/songwriter from epic band Pavement and this track is lifted from his new album Mirror Traffic, a contender for one of the albums of the year here. Get stuck into this.
Manchester’s Chris Barrett kicks of the week with an edit welcoming his skills to the Theeve Trucks UK team. Click below for footage filmed by Phil Harvey and Jim Craven alongside some Sonic Youth goodness.
To celebrate Justin Brock turning pro in 2009 Quiksilver released a limited edition chino. I am quite the chino man myself, so I was delighted to receive a pair of these! You can’t go wrong with a classic like this. They are smart but casual, wear them to your Nan’s birthday party or down to your local skatepark and you won’t feel out of place.
These chinos are a straight fit with side cut deep pockets. They also come with a swatch of extra material in case of any patch ups, which I must say won’t be needed. Well, not this week. I was skating home a bit drunk late last week, when I hit some rumble strips causing me to leave my board, become airborne and simultaneously collect some sizeable scabs on my knees, elbow and shoulder. The good news is that not even a scuff was left on these, so maybe worth considering that fact alone before shopping at your local skate shop.

Introducing Burned Out Motors
Filthy punk rock from the 70’s has a place that has been glued permanently in British history. It’s an area where many classic bands have laid foundations within our culture, spawning a plethora of music genres that still use the Punk term lightly. Thesedays, you are lucky to find a British Punk band that carries traditions and does it well. I’m talking about the raw, dirty punk rock that only the likes of the Pistols, Cockney Rejects and Sham 69 would be able to huck out; the sneering, fuck you stuff that gets us all up in the morning.
Welcome to the world of London punk band Burned Out Motors. A band who claim they “formed during a music therapy class within the confines of South London’s Wandsworth Prison.” I guess then, that the attitude that stems from their debut single ‘Bastard’ may well have been derived from picking up the soap a few times too many. Who knows, but they certainly bring sunshine and a little pain to my ears this morning on first listen.
Disposable but charming punk bands like this lot make the world go round and will eat that pansy boy, emo boy band shit out of newspaper covered in salt & vinegar on a daily basis. With that in mind, listen to these boozing, glue-sniffing, drinking, solvent abuse bragging, geezers who love kicking the shit out of cunts at their facebook page. There’s no fancy video, no wanky blog, nothing but this page out there right now, get stuck in.
Loving this news piece today. Tune into Jon Fitisemanu‘s commnetary as he explains Daewon Song‘s Switch 360 Flip Fakie Manual to Fakie 360 Flip out back in 2004.
