ABOUT S.T.R.E.E.T.S.:
S.T.R.E.E.T.S. (Skateboarding Totally Rules, Everything Else Totally Sucks) began summer of 2001 after picking themselves up off the floor of their East Vancouver, B.C. house and drinking the last of the beers they decided to start a band dedicated to skateboarding and life. They quickly moved from their basement to headlining local shows. The sound progressed through space and time to a more involved and complex idea. With elements of old school thrash, early 70’s metal and skateboard influenced punk rock they quickly sculpted a sound that would become the S.T.R.E.E.T.S. of now. As the energy around the band progressed so did the song writing. Moving from skateboarding to more complex narratives and songscapes, (all the while maintaining the stoke), S.T.R.E.E.T.S. are not just about thrashing and skating but exploring life on the widest spectrum possible.
