Josh Wilson, Kevin Tierney and Richie Rizzo hit the streets for a shootout in celebration of the new HUF boot collab with Bronze.
Go Skateboarding Day is always going to be a biggie in our calendars. This year was a much bigger one in Blackpool as Big Woodys shop also turned into a teen. To mark the shops 13th birthday and Go Skateboarding Day it was nice of Z-Flex to hire the park for the day and supply product that was given out through hectic jams and best trick contests.
Check what was thrown down on the day in this 6 minute edit full of carnage filmed and edited by Jake Powell.
Here’s to another 13 years!
The ever-prolific Ty Segall recently debuted a new song during a run of acoustic shows last week. Joined by Wand’s Corey Hanson across various NYC venues, the duo switched out their fuzz-pedals for acoustic’s and span a charming rendition of Neil Young’s ‘For The Turnstiles’, (on the Instagram clip below) and new material which can be heard on the below YouTube clip at 2.45.

Obstruct
Loss of Blood
Carry The Weight Records
The Northern hardcore scene has a strong DIY history and background of producing killer music. Perhaps it’s something to do with the lack of a heavy music industry/major label presence, perhaps it’s just something in the water, but the crop of bands coming out of Leeds, Sheffield, Liverpool etc. recently has been uniformly fucking brilliant.
Obstruct are continuing this tradition from the small town confines of Huddersfield, with their new album Loss of Blood harnessing their furious straight edge hardcore punk to create the gnarliest record of 2015 so far. With influences apparent from early Voorhees, Walk the Plank and Creem, the band don’t let up as they storm through 11 tracks which rarely break the 1 and a half minute mark.
Listening to track after track of blistering hardcore, you get the sensation of being punched repeatedly in the head by a fist of sound as the pace and energy refuse to let up, though this isn’t to say there is no delineation between songs. While the formula never strays far from full speed ahead, with distorted basslines and pounding drums to the fore, a sense of melody emerges from somewhere within the chaos and helps to make songs like ‘Infection’ and ‘Instigate’ stand out through the Blitz-style guitar.
This is music that goes straight from ear canals to adrenalin gland, a shot of aural caffeine which will probably fuel skateboarding missions for some time to come for yours truly. Add a hint of darkness to your summer and get hold of a copy from Carry The Weight Records.

Pavement detail rarities LP for August
Legendary indie stalwarts Pavement have today announced The Secret History Vol. 1, the first of five compilation LPs in a new series of rarities releases.
Shedding light on previously unheard material disregarded from original album sessions and scattered as B-sides, the forthcoming compilations are said to be some of the best albums of the 90s that never happened. Starting with Slanted and Enchanted and ending at Terror Twilight.
The Secret History Vol. 1 is set to include gems from Peel Sessions (“Kentucky Cocktail,” “Circa 1762”), seven-inches (“Baptist Blacktick”) and a 1992 live concert from the Slanted and Enchanted-era European tours, with Mark Ibold and Bob Nastanovich in the fold. See the full tracklisting below.
The deluxe double gatefold LP looks to be a fan’s dream, coming with reams of bonus material, essays by Stephen Malkmus and Spiral Stairs, plus essays from Matador Records, Billions Corporation and Drag City.
The Secret History Vol. 1 is due for release on August 14th via Domino. Get your pre-orders in here.
