No Mom Yelling at Me in Portuguese
I heard a rumor that you play a character named John Snow on a famous television show.
Yeah, I don’t know about that one. I get that shit a lot, though.
Does your long, flowing hair help you with the ladies?
Yes, they touch it sometimes.
How long have you been growing that lion’s mane?
Maybe a year and a half ? It’s been a minute.
If I gave you $100, would you shave it into a mullet?
Fuck no! I don’t really care too much about it but you know when you have a pen for a long time and you lose it? It’s that feeling.
What about $1,000 dollars to shave it clean off like Joe Face?
Like shaved, shaved?
Bald and shiny.
Fuck, I might have to take the grand. I’m hurting right now.
Where are you from?
I’m originally from Portugal then New York. Half and half.
Does that make you a Portuguese citizen?
Yup.
I assume you’re fluent in Portuguese then.
Yeah, I speak it at home.
After coming here from Portugal, where in New York were you living?
Patchogue, New York.
When winter is coming, do you escape the kingdom of New York to go to California?
Yeah, fuck this. It’s too cold right now.
Where are you living right now?
Right now I’m living in Coram. It’s in Long Island. It’s probably an hour and a half outside of The City.
What did you do all summer? I remember seeing you the day you moved into your apartment in Brooklyn.

The Cool Kids
The Cool Kids are officially back. After a lengthy hiatus, Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish have decided the timing was right to pick up where they left off and have already released two new singles: “Running Man” and “Connect Four” ahead of their upcoming 2017 release, Special Edition Grand Master Deluxe. As the duo was in Miami attending Art Basel, they had some time to talk about their reunion, rappers going crazy and why 2008’s The Bake Sale EP never would have happened without skateboarding and Vicodin. —Kyle Eustice
Elijah Berle
Okay, we have Elijah Berle here. Half of me is here; the other half is still in China.
Don't Mess With Texans!
We were standing on the side of the building with our dicks in hands when we heard the gun cock behind us.

Jesse Garza: Deck Restorer
Ever seen a badass fully restored ‘57 Chevy, all cherry’d out looking like it just rolled off the showroom floor? Well my buddy Jesse Garza does similar work but with skate decks. He can take your dusted, crusted old plank and time machine that bad boy straight back to the ‘80s. I hit him up to see what goes into restoring a skate deck and why it’s such a rare discipline.
Metallica
Kill ‘Em All and Ride the Lightning have fueled many heated sessions over the years. Now Metallica is ten albums deep spanning over their 35-plus years existence. Hardwired… to Self-Destruct fits right in with their early albums and they’ve been promoting it by playing smaller venues around the world, giving their fans an intimate experience to blow out their eardrums. James Hetfield took some time before playing Oakland’s Fox Theater to talk about technology, the symphony and longevity.

Dress Up
"Punk fuck hardcore skate punk thrash Austin Texas”—eight words that perfectly sum up the eccentric (read: controversial) four-piece outfit, Dress Up. Comprised of vocalist Alex Bond, guitarist Anthony Sardella, bassist Max Fitzgibbon and drummer JoJo Williamson, Dress Up is band of skaters who just happen to cross dress at every performance. Bond explains, “We have fun doing it and that’s exactly why—as skaters—we thought it was cool to eliminate the masculine vibe you would expect from us. Our main message is having fun and doing what you want.” Bond had some time in between shows to talk “Drug Abuse,” the band’s moniker and one of their wildest shows.
