A1ONE – Graffiti from Iran

I don’t know much about A1ONE but this guy got some amazing stuff! Take a look at this video for his great work and some insights about graffiti and street arts in Iran. Interesting!

Animal rights activist Peter Young in Amsterdam!

Even if I don’t agree with all his views and ideas, I must admit that Peter Young has some interesting stuff to say. The good news is that he’s coming to Europe to share his 15 years experience as an activist for the animal liberation movement. So if you can attend one of those two spoken word sessions, do it!

Peter Young spoken word in Amsterdam

On the 1st and 2nd of July activist and former animal liberation prisoner Peter Young will discuss experiences and lessons from 15 years in the animal liberation movement.

An outspoken supporter of those who work outside the law to achieve animal liberation, Young offers the hows and whys of working underground for animal liberation in the U.S., success and failures of the A.L.F., and his personal experiences moving from mainstream activist, to midnight
raids, prison, and beyond.

Young will discuss A.L.F. history, government persecution, defeating fear, activism stories, and direct action strategy, and more.

Vinyl: Forever Young – The Chance

One of the things I love about hardcore is that some bands and records labels still press and release vinyls records. So I decided to blog a bit more about the great 7 inches and 12 inches that I get. The first record I want to present is Forever Young‘s 7 inch called The Chance.

I don’t know this band for so long. The first time I heard of them was when they got their song “X on my hand” featured in the EDGE The Movie documentary. Here is a quick biography:

Sweden’s FOREVER YOUNG made their mark with the 10 tunes debut “The Guarantee” (Monument Records) and with this follower they keep the path of vegan dreams. Song titles like “Straight Edge Got My Back” and “Keep It Posi” are reflecting the state of mind of this restless VSE Umeå band : filled with attitude, knowledge and youth.

This Red/yellow mix color vinyl was released on I FOR US RECORDS (from Belgium) and Monument Records (from Sweden) and you can still get your copy on our webstore. This is the first pressing: 625 red/yellow mix and 10 test presses.

Tracklist:

1. Forever Young II
2. Keep It Posi
3. Bigger Than Hardcore
4. 090
5. Time Is Running Out
6. SXE Got My Back
7. Every Day Is War

This record is fast, raw, straight to the point and REALLY catchy (if you’re like me, you’ll probably listen to it 15 times in a row!). If you like fast melodic hardcore with sincere lyrics (mostly about hardcore, straight edge or veganism), check these guys out!

Plus d’infos sur le film de Banksy

Nouvelle update depuis mon dernier billet sur Exit Through The Gift Shop, le nouveau film de Banksy. Après avoir distillé l’information au compte-gouttes, voilà que Banksy nous sort un teaser vidéo de 5 minutes. De quoi nous garder en haleine jusqu’à la sortie du film!

Visiblement, il semblerait que le film porte plus sur Terry Guetta, le réalisateur, que sur Bansky lui-même:

The film is the story of what happens when his guy tried to make a documentary about me but he was a lot more interesting than I am, so the film is now kinda about him.

Je ne sais toujours pas précisément en quoi consiste le film, mais c’est pas grave, je suis déjà affolé à l’idée de le voir. Notez qu’on voit passer quelques grosses célébrités du street-art, dont Space Invaders, un de mes favoris!
