Skate punk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Skate punk (also known as skatepunk, skate-punk, skate-thrash, or skate-core) was originally a derivative of hardcore punk, so named because of its popularity among skateboarders, and the fact that many members of skate punk bands were themselves skaters. Skate punk utilizes quick uptempo "jumps" of silence at the end of the measure to emphasize the start of the riff. A skate punk's attire will be strewn with holes and rips, if not due to the hazards of skating itself than to self-inflicted damage for the sake of a more hardened, aggressive image. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Skate_punk   (970 words)

Metroactive Features | Dew Action Sports Tour | Skate-Punk Oral History I mean, if you were skating pools and ditches, you were doing more than your share of trespassing, breaking and entering, running from and/or lying to the cops, etc. Truth is, all that stuff was just as fun as the skating itself. The punk and skate thing collided naturally because it was probably just as life-affirming and personally liberating to find that forbidden pool as it was to dig music no one else did—even though they never bothered to listen to it. If there was a difference between the two scenes aside from whether you do or don't skate, it was that punks brought enough grief on themselves just by the way they looked and knew trouble would find'em soon as they walked out their front doors. www.metroactive.com /papers/metro/09.07.05/skatepunks-0536.html   (4354 words)

Punk fashion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) Punk fashion is the styles of clothing, hairstyles, cosmetics, jewelry, and body modifications of the punk subculture. A great deal of punk fashion from this 1970s was based on the designs of Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren, as well as the dress styles of punk role models such as the Ramones, Richard Hell and the Bromley Contingent. Many female punks rebelled against the stereotypical image of a woman by combining clothes that were delicate or pretty with clothes that were considered masculine, such as combining a Ballet tutu with big, clunky boots. en.wikipedia.org.cob-web.org:8888 /wiki/Punk_fashion   (2275 words)

BBC Berkshire - Music - Skate Punk Reading @ The Roebuck Hotel Skate Punk Reading have done it again, this evening the Roebuck hotel was completely sold out and packed with unhesitating punk fans. From the audience members that were there, they were described as 'better than good', and from outside the murmurs of the end of their set sounded well brushed up considering the youth of this punk band from Reading. The band was energetic and upbeat and they played a blend of punk which straddled across tempos and styles keeping the audience interested, and on their toes! www.bbc.co.uk /berkshire/music/local_bands/roebuck150504/review.shtml   (501 words)

Punk rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Punk rock may have been influenced by the snotty attitude, on- and off-stage violence, and aggressive instrumentation, overt sexuality and political confrontation of artists such as The Who, the Rolling Stones, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, The Velvet Underground, Alice Cooper, The Stooges, the MC5, The Deviants, and the New York Dolls. Gradually, punk became more varied and less minimalist, with bands such as The Clash and The Police incorporating other underground musical influences like ska and rockabilly and even jazz into their music, but the message of the music remained the same; it was subversive, counter-cultural, rebellious, politically incorrect and often anarchist. Punk rock was a message to society that all was not well and all were not equal. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Punk_rock   (3362 words)

Skate and Annoy: Music Reviews - Fronside Five: No Pegs The first thing I thought of was that it was no longer 1984, so the idea of skate rock seemed a little silly in these days of diluted skate culture for the masses. It could also be considered an ill omen for a band to have “Denver Sk8 Punk” religiously attached to their name when the liner notes don’t actually include any pictures of the band skating. There’s a lot of irony in the fact that they write a song condemning Gator while proudly waving the logo that is associated with the beginning of his downfall and a lot of the bad perceptions of the industry in the 80’s. www.skateandannoy.com /reviews/music/00112/index.html   (532 words)

Quote: "I think skate music started being different from surf music when Jan and Dean, using a reel to reel in their driveway, recorded the first sounds of skateboarding for a sample in their song "Sidewalk Surfing".

Christian Punk Downloads - Download Christian Punk Music - Download Christian Punk MP3s The Denver-based punk group the Smiley Kids play aggressive but melodic skate punk along the lines of Five Iron Frenzy and Switchfoot, both of whom the band toured with on the Pants Across America Tour. Some Christian punk bands use punk's oft-repeated themes of outsider alienation and personal integrity as a framework to present their spirituality as an alternative to mainstream materialism. A more interesting question, given their skilled mimicry of punk sound and style, is whether their music has a chance of winning fans from outside their obvious Christian audience. www.mp3.com /christian-punk/genre/616/subgenre.html   (1484 words)
