We’ve commissioned a limited run of skate decks for Vancouver Skate Punk / Metal band Streets in commemoration of their three CD reissues on Riot Style. It features refreshed artwork originally by Lisa Sussman and redrawn by Barf (Municipal Waste / Born Ugly / Barf Comics). We will be giving away a few of these skateboard decks at retail and on various music blogs throughout the year.
There will be a limited number of Streets Skate Decks for sale in the Riot Style store.
Last but not least, here is our final look at the upcoming R. Crumb x Vans collaboration with the world famous skateboarding / show company.

A follow up on our earlier post about the R. Crumb collection from Vans. Two t-shirts have been released as a part of this collabo. One is the classic Mr. Natural design on natural cotton. The second is Crumb’s iconic Keep On Truckin’ graphic on a light blue T. More pics after the break…

An exclusive peek at this upcoming collabo from Nom De Guerre and Redwing for Winter 08/09. Great for stomping around in the snow during those cold winter months.
We’ve shown you a couple sneak peeks at upcoming Riot Style projects, but this one is friggin huuuuuuuuge.
We are very proud to announce Riot Style will be releasing a special 2xLP from Los Angeles, CA’s The Drips. The gatefold double album will be released this April, in conjunction with LA based label White Drugs.
The Drips play straight ahead, balls out LA punk and sound kind of like a cross between The Germs, The Eagles and Suicidal Tendencies. The band features Matt C. and Joby J. Ford (guitar and vox) from The Bronx, Tony from The Distillers, David Hidalgo Jr. from Los Lobos, and Vincent Hidalgo.
There are only a couple other labels (like Swami) that have been invited to party with White Drugs, so needless to say we are pretty stoked.
We’re gettin lotsa hits. Go make some computer technologies of your own.
