After their sold-out Bowery Ballroom show with Alexisonfire and La Dispute, Trash Talk hopped the bridge to Brooklyn to throw down a secret show with Cerebral Ballzy for our friends 1000 Knives and music blog Brooklyn Vegan. Here is Trash Talk laying down some straight up thrash at Archeron on Waterbury St. in Bushwick. We may post some more footage next week.
Video after the jump son!
If you didn’t go to the Thrasher Skate Rock show this past Tuesday at the Autumn Bowl in Greenpoint, Brooklyn you are basically an asshole. Here’s some video we shot of our boy Dino thrashing the ramp. Epic.
The Specials played their first American show in 30 Years last night on The Jimmy Fallon Show. A few of us were lucky enough to be in the audience. Check the video below of The Specials playing A Message To You (Rudy) and Little Bitch after the bump.

It’s been a rough first half of the year. Malcolm Mclaren died yesterday. He was 64. Though he will undoubtedly be best remembered for his work as manager for UK punk rock act The Sex Pistols (and slightly less for his role as impresario for the red-patent-leather-commie era New York Dolls) his contributions to fashion, music, and popular culture could quite plausibly be described as “immeasurable”. Nearly everything Mclaren touched has influenced the work we do here at Riot Style. To say that Jamie Reid, Vivianne Westwood and Malcolm Mclaren are our style and design forebearers would be an understatement. They brought art to terrible music, and music to terrible art. They brought situationism to the mainstream and the underground to market. We would go so far as to say we ripped them all off… Viva cash. Viva chaos.
As a tribute, Here’s part 1 of a two part video interview SUPREME conducted with Malcolm as a part of their Spring / Summer 09 collection based on the Duck Joint / Buffalo Gals / Duck Rock era work of Mclaren, Keith Haring and the world famous Supreme Team DJ crew.
Let it rock!

This has to be one of the funniest black metal / death metal shirts we’ve seen in a long time. From our friends over at Chronic Youth.com:
You might have heard that Nachtmystium got embroiled in some controversy with a certain car manufacturer for having some supposedly racist ties in their past. Well after issuing a proper statement saying, “hey man, we’re not racist…”
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.
Burgos was supposed to write us a post about how much she loves this band, but her words are escaping her. Murder City Devils have announced on their blog that they are doing a set of reunion tour dates this coming February. Full list and links (for you west-coasters and Brittish-Canadians) to get tickets after the jump.
Frank Navetta passed away on Oct 31. Along with Tony Lombardo and Bill Stevenson, Navetta founded the Descendents in 1979. Soon thereafter the boys roped in smarty pants Milo Aukerman to sing and of course the rest is history. The Descendents were in some ways the imagined ideal of southern California punk.
