Check out the blog featured by Grunge And Art. Retro striped socks and girls having fun by the pool.
As always the photographs by David Collier are extremely vivid and appear like snapshots capturing the moment without thinking too much about the result. This series is superb summery, showcases a cheerful atmosphere and was shot on 35mm film, Polaroid and there are some digital pictures as well.
“With the hottest summer on record with temperatures consistently over 35 degrees, our cast who live way too far from any ocean or beach decide to have their own backyard pool party. It starts off with Georgia and Bella just hanging at home and decide to call Chayde to see if she wants to meet up at the local store and grab a few snacks and drinks and head over to their backyard for some summer fun. They decide to blow up the tiny pool to cool off and of course in a very Aussie way and also have some fun with the garden hose. To me it shows a quintessential Aussie summer and as you can see our girls do have some fun.
I have worked with all 3 of my models before and knew they would be up for this and are all super down to earth and all look great on camera as the images show.”

TOP 10 HOTTEST & HEAVIEST SPANISH BANDS YOU NEED IN YOUR LIFE
Spain: Paella, Sangria, sun, beach, chorizo… WAIT A MINUTE! There’s a lot more than all that stereotypes our beautiful country has. And if we talk about extreme music, you need to know that there's a bunch of stunning bands that will rock your ears off.
So please non-spanish friend… seat, relax and take note about some of the hottest and the heaviest spanish bands that you really need in your life.
Tip: We did a Spotify Playlist featuring some great hits of all the bands we’re gonna talk about (Metal, Hardcore, Deathcore, Metalcore, Thrash… Heavy stuff!)
In alphabetical order:
Against the waves - Madrid (Melodic Metal / Hardcore / Electronic)
Against the waves is formed by 5 talented dudes from Madrid who have been fighting and working hard since 2008, becoming one of the most exciting spanish bands to discover. Their last album was recorded in USA with Joey Sturgis (Asking Alexandria, Of mice & Men…) it sounds huge enough to bring down a mountain, we personally love it!
Anthem: I’ve seen brighter days
Instagram // Facebook
Bellako - Mataró (Barcelona) - (Hardcore/Metal)
Heavy music, gang vocals and marihuana are probably the daily stuff of this 5 crazy lads from Barcelona. They’ve been playing since 2010, touring around the country, bringing stages down and breaking necks. If you're into Hatebreed, Madball or Brujeria… roll a joint and enjoy!
Anthem: Planta Madre + Humo
Instagram // Facebook
Blaze out - Barcelona (Metal/Thrash)
They are young, talented, and they’re becoming pretty popular in youtube. Their last single “Wrath Afire” reached more than a 1.500.000 views on Youtube and they've performed festivals like Resurrection in Viveiro. Be aware, this is not a one hit wonder, this is just the beginning of something huge! For Heavy-thrasher lovers!
Anthem: Wrath Afire
Instagram // Facebook
Brothers till we die - Madrid (Hardcore/Metal)
Don’t let their angelical faces fool you! They are moshpit beasts, and their music will smash your face and crash your brain. Their live gigs are massive too. You don't want to miss their upcoming album “The Thin Line Between death and immortality". It's coming out this 2017.
Anthem: Back in the game
Instagram // Facebook
Cannibal grandpa - Madrid (Deathcore)

What kind of music would you expect from a band using a name like that?
They are the perfect BSO for big circle pits with your friends. If you play it at home loud enough you'll piss out your mom and grandparents! Worth a listen.
Anthem: Dear Diary
Intagram // Facebook
Crisix - Barcelona (Metal/Thrash)
Formed in a mid sized city, Igualada, they are one of the most international bands on the list. Bored of touring the Iberian Peninsula they aim for South-America where they have a very passionate following. They even made up a mixed concept for soccer and pogo dance.
These great metal motherfuckers are willing to conquer the world! Nothing is going to stop them.
Anthem: The great metal motherfucker
Instagram // Facebook
Dawn of the Maya - Pamplona (Metal/Hardcore)
The mayas tried to predict the end of the world…. but what they didn’t predict is this all star formation from Pamplona. Genius drumming plus mix of throat breaking vocals with melodic choruses, brings out a bunch of tunes you don't wanna miss.
They have a new album out called “Colossal".
Anthem: Old statues
Instagram // Facebook
Hyde abbey - Barcelona (Deathcore)
Born by the European California, "El Maresme" we still don't understand what turned them into the darkest side of music. They are talented, have passion and they know how to bring out a decent breakdown. Their mentality is very open minded and they are a hell of a hard touring band. Thumbs up!
Anthem: Bake Kujira
Instagram // Facebook
Meltdown - Hernani (Basque Country) - (Metal/Hardcore)
We love their name! (Enter shikari song! cool!) But the outstanding skill of writing music is what adds up most to this band. They are young and talented enough to perform some technical and electronic metal that you can't miss. We hope to see them soon in our city 😉
Anthem: Gears
Instagram // Facebook
Thirteen Bled Promises - Madrid (Deathcore)
Imagine that one day humankind needs to open the gates of hell and collaborate with the devil to fight against an alien invasion. Sounds fun, right? Well, that's the storyline behind the last album “The Black Legend”. This crazy deathcore band from Madrid are willing to be abducted to perform the first ever live show in a UFO.
Anthem: Biblephagy Slender Phytobezoars
Instagram // Facebook
SPECIAL MENTION:
HAMLET - Madrid (Metal)
Hamlet is one of those bands that have been out there since the late 80's but has been rearranging to be up to date with the newcomer metal fans. With several albums out they are already a legend of the spanish metal scene and almost all of their gigs go sold out. We're lucky enough to have them within the American Socks family 😍
Not Enough for you? Every music scene is very complex and we try to list some of the dozens of awesome bands we have out there. Your band might not be here so feel free to mail us your music and we'll give it a listen in the office.
Support & respect your locals. It's a long way to the top and every artist deserves a mention, a listen and a opportunity.
Many bands didn't make it this time. That's why we will be releasing VOL.2 very very soon!
Share it, rock it and enjoy it!
AMERICAN SOCKS TEAM
The Fashion Week was happening in Berlin and we couldn't miss BRIGHT TRADESHOW where the coolest brands gather to show their upcoming releases. The Accessories alley had it's personal oasis with tropical vibe: American Socks!
While doing some B2B business we got dancy with the rest of exhibitors with one of the most known Spanish music anthems: "La Macarena". Rad times.
Enjoy the aftervideo 😉

1.Melody Fall.
The guys from Turin have performed in several countries like Japan or China and after more than a decade, they are still burning fuel to release albums at an impressive level. The latest release is "The Scene" a good allegory to tourlife and their passion for music.
2. Sunset Radio.
Straight from Ravenna the 5 piece just released their first album "Vices" a great kickstart that included performances with international bands like Our Last Night and a Euro Tour. They are part of the American Socks Team and yeah, make sure to watch them live. Brace yourselves, this is just the start.
Music: Sunset Radio - Surrounded

3. Vanilla Sky.
Now their core fanbase is based in Russia where the band has a huge following.
Music: Vanilla Sky - Ten Years
Facebook / Instagram
4. Why Everyone Left
If you're looking into poppy melodies and choruses with some real hardcore background, Why Everyone Left is your band. Their latest LP "Been Home Enough" gave them the chance to tour UK last June and open for some of the biggest mainstream bands in the Pop-Punk scene. They have many plans, one of them, conquer the world.
Music: Why Everyone Left - Do It Again
Facebook / Instagram
5. The Last Confidence
After some member changes in the last couple of years this guys from Cortenuova are paddling to get back on the top of the wave. Finest energetic Pop-Punk that stands loud for "Defend Stage Diving". They already played in many cities all over the Italian territory and now they are planning an European tour. We really hope they stop by the American Socks office to hang out and drink some beers!
Music: The Last Confidence - Temptations
Facebook / Instagram
6. Rising Over
These lads mix the best from two different worlds. The most intense Pop-Punk and some technical riffs from the Hardcore comeback. They released a xmas tune you should go and check out too. Good Job!
Music: Rising Over - Echoes
Facebook / Instagram
7. Well Planned Attack
This band was born in Padova 2012. Their ethos from the start was hard touring. And they did. Traveling through countries like Canada, Japan or even Russia, proving that italian music is worth a listen. We don't know their future plans, but gonna follow up their upgrowing trajectory.If you're into bands like A Day To Remember, you'll love them!
Music: Well Planned Attack - Unbreakable
Facebook / Instagram
8. Summer of Hoaxes
We personally adore this band and it has been played in the office more than once because of the awesome vocals done by Phil. The choruses are so easy to singalong you won't get them out of your head. The band brings some real Pop-Punk influenced by the 90's into the scene and right now is recording a new EP to be released this 2017.
Music: Summer Of Hoaxes - Black Sheep
Facebook / Instagram
9. Leftovers
Heavily influenced by Blink 182 this band is worth a mention as their music is easy listening and takes you straight to your high school days. Based in Rome, they managed to make themselves a place in the scene. They should improve their sock game, though. 😉
Music: Leftovers - Just Another Day
Facebook
10. Halflives
We wanted to include a female fronted band in this blog and Halflives are not only part of our team they also are a VERY talented band. They aim high and work like the best to release unbelieveable music videos and productions. Their alternative rock is made to be played in huge arenas. They're heading to Europe this 2017. Make sure to attend to any of their shows ❤️Music: Halflives - Burn
Facebook / Instagram
We surely forgot about a LOT of bands that's why please drop us an email or comment on our instagram so we can know more about you.
Also worth mentioning those bands that flattened the way for the youngest when the scene was smaller. Together, they made the difference with a lot of effort, hard work and perseverance.
Sadly, some of them, are not playing together anymore.

Have you ever been at the top of your city? Summer is long gone and daylight hours run short when sunset kicks in at 17PM. That 20 minutes of magic colors shining just in front of your eyes, is what we experienced with Enzo Iriarte.
Turn up your pants to show the All Time Original American Socks even when weather is not helping out.

Enjoy!
TALES FROM THE CRYPT
Hanging out with the dead while listening to a Misfits album (The ones featuring Glen Danzing... Of course!) is what we did with Enzo Iriarte.
Facing the sea and guarded by strict vigilantes lays the scariest cemetery you've ever been: Barcelona Montjuïc Graveyard.
After sunset the departed come back to life, but just before things got messy we had enough time to meet Harley Quinn (Steffie Hache) and some Skull guys (Juan García & Sergi Sánchez).
The undead came after us as we disturbed their rest and had to leave, but we'll be back to satisfy our interest in graveyards.
Happy Halloween!

We teamed up with the legendary Ska-Punkers from Gainesville, Less Than Jake to design a collaboration sock for their official merchandise: Mid High and logo all around.
Less Than Jake are one of those bands that started back in the 90's and today they are still alive and kicking while putting out albums like "Live from Astoria" (2016) or "See the Light" (2013).
This summer they've been performing and messing up on Warped Tour under the slogan of "Make Warped Tour Great Again. We had to make it happen!
Inspired by the rasta colors, we built a sock that's ready for the extreme touring the band is doing on a daily basis.
For those who are there for the skanking, the reinforced heel, toe and a cushioned sole will keep your feet safe.
Remember, the guys are back in Europe during the next weeks. Don't miss them...and get some socks at their merch table!

H&M just released a Bring Me The Horizon sweatshirt and the metalcore community has gone mad. The chain store purchased a license to the design, but question is: "Is it legit to extract a style from a sub-culture and pop it into the mainstream?"
This already happened with bands like The Who, Nirvana, The Ramones or Iron Maiden. The owner of the trademark and designs is free to sell licenses for production, something similar occurs with Football clubs, Star Wars and any Disney Movie.
What happens when a trademark is more than a simple logo and represents a whole culture and lifestyle? People get angry. Not everybody agrees with the ethos of companies like H&M. Lately Thrasher Magazine owner talked about Rihanna or Justin Bieber wearing their t-shirts. (Read Here). "We don't want fucking clowns wearing our apparel"
People is dumb enough to buy and wear something they don't mean. The cool thing about being part of a not-mainstream culture is to relate a way of dressing with an alternative lifestyle, something real.
Thousands of sweatshirts are going to be sold in H&M, and in the end no one will ever care. You'll walk by someone you think is into BMTH, but sadly is listening to Drake's latest album on spotify.
Would you buy merchandise in H&M?
Definitely No. But you can get some #AmericanSocks instead!

The band from Massachusetts, Four Year Strong, played at the American Socks acoustic stage to present the songs of their recently released self titled LP and signed a GRETSCH electro-acoustic guitar.

El frío ha llegado sin avisar. A finales de Octubre estábamos todos disfrutando de unos placenteros 25 grados. Todos sabíamos que no iba a durar para siempre, pero nunca se está suficientemente mentalizado para afrontar la realidad.
Desde American Socks queremos que esta época del año sea lo más llevadera posible. Por eso, os presentamos las 3 Razones para Llevar Calcetines Altos durante este Otoño/Invierno.
1. No Más Pies Congelados!
Siempre hemos querido que el riego sanguíneo de nuestras extremidades inferiores fuera un pelín más eficiente a lo que respecta mantener la temperatura corporal. Es incómodo. Por eso, son necesarios unos calcetines bien tupidos, sobretodo en la planta, donde más sufrimos.
Cualquier producto de la gama American Socks tiene una densidad más alta de algodón que cualquier otro fabricante. Por eso, aseguramos que no vas a pasar frío nunca más! Tanto para salir a la calle como para estar por casa.
2. Domingos de Peli y Manta👌🏻.
Ahora más que nunca, es momento de disfrutar de esas largas tardes de domingo en el sofá, viendo alguna serie en Netflix o película. ¡No sin tu manta favorita!
Nuestras recomendaciones? Stranger Things o la última temporada de Narcos.
Si eso lo acompañas con unos buenos calcetines, no vas a tener que jugar a "El Suelo es Lava" mientras intentas sortear las baldosas de la cocina para sacar las Palomitas del microondas. 😱
3. Tu Arma Secreta: Un complemento diferente. 🔫
En el caso de las chicas, las medias con calcetines son tu arma secreta para poder llevar ese short/falda que te gusta tanto cuando fuera hace un frío del demonio. Puedes aportar un poco de color con cualquiera de los Calcetines Altos que encontrarás en esta misma web.
Quién dijo frío?
45 years ago, Netflix didn't exist, cable TV neither and US youth was living in a constant informative bombing about the Cold War. Who wouldn't leave home and try to forget about all the madness in the world while cruising on a skateboard?
Curiously , the drought that hit California in the 1970s helped catalyze skateboard culture’s popularity. Swimming pools and drainage ditches lay empty and dry, allowing kids to carve them up with their skateboards, some of which were simply coarse wooden boards with wheels – a far cry from today’s laminated creations.
Youngsters would wear colorful Knee High Socks, something that stayed in the background of the whole culture until today.
All shots by Hugh Holland. The Californian photographer shot when skateboarding was just on the cusp of coolness. He was lucky enough to be around and capture these amazing moments of youth with desks and socks!
Rainbow Socks, Show Your Pride!
The All Time Originals are back with a tribute to the whole LGBT collective. The rainbow flag socks stand for boundless love and sexual diversity/freedom. Get them HERE.
Made locally in Barcelona, all of our products are made using the finest materials avoiding harmful substances for the environment. That's why American Socks are eco-friendly and vegan.
Designed for action these socks are perfect for your daily use with double padded step and cotton construction. Your feet will be thankful.

Punk Rock Holiday is a newcomer to the Summer Festival Season. With only 6 editions it already topped by far many other options around Europe. It's placement in Tolmin, Slovenia is one of the reasons for the perfect alternative vacation you can share with your girlfriend, family or friends.
With 2 stages the festival hosts over 50 bands from all over the globe including some of your all time favorites during 5 days.
If you don't have the tickets you're out of luck the festival is completely SOLD OUT.
Here are some essentials you can't miss when in Tolmin.
Vamos a la fiesta!

1. The Magic Freezing River.
The festival is built by the cleanest river in Europe: Soča. Also called "The Emerald Beauty", this river is born by the Julian Alps and flows through the festival area, something exceptional and unusual among other festivals that are built on a grass or a mud field. You definitely would jump straightaway but the water is cold as f**k! You'll gonna need some real guts.
There are 2 beaches, one, next to the camping area and another one that meets a tributary forming super fun rapid waters, both are perfect to hang out, meet people and have a morning beer. Bring some inflables to flow by with your friends.
The Soča's river is also known among audience as the "Hangover Killer". The ancient secret minerals flowing in the water will make your worst pains disappear in a matter of seconds. Remember to keep it clean as you found it, for nature's sake.
2. Camping in the Wildlife.
This is not the common festival. You can camp at free will all along the riverbank. You definitely wanted some adventures right? You'll end up in the forest. Don't stress, 90% of the audience camps there. It's not the most comfortable place ever, but trees will project shadow so you'll sleep longer. Be aware, wasps are everywhere! 🐝
The festival provides with everything you need:
- Showers: Hot and Cold water showers are available. Not for shy!
- Food and Drinks: Need a late night bite? You can get anything.
- Ice: Really useful to keep your cans cold.
3. Tolmin: Rock City
With a small population of 3525 during the year, in august the city is flooded with thousands of Metalheads and Punkers that triple inhabitance. But life won't stop in Tolmin, locals have a terrible english but are friendly and always willing to help.
You'll find everything you need: supermarkets, gas station and restaurants.
At your arrival you may get lost easily, just follow the road straight up until you find a huge sign: "PUNK ROCK ➡️" pointing the road to the festival. There's the stairway to heaven.
4. Beach Stage 🚣
The festival promoters have been always known for supporting the scene and the upcoming bands. That's why "The Beach Stage", built by the river, gives the chance for unsigned acts to prove their value with an outstanding PA and professional set up.Here's also your chance to sign up your band for future editions.
- Attend with your bandmates to the festival.
- Fill in the form at INFO POINT.
- Include your record or demo.
More info HERE.
The organization will listen one by one to all the proposals and only 20 bands will get the slot.
5. Main Stage 🎸
This stage is the main attraction at the whole fest. Punk-Rock legends like NOFX, Descendents or Millencolin will give the best of their energies and sing their all time anthems for one of the craziest crowds in Europe. The stage is fenceless and you can stagedive at your own risk. Remember not to bother artists with stupid selfies or bear hugs. Just go up there and jump. Someone, hopefully will get your ass up!
6. Bird Attack Live Stream
You're not able to attend to the festival? You're somewhere overseas willing to see what's going up in Slovenia? Our pals at Bird Attack Records are setting up a live multi-camera broadcasting on their website birdattackradio.com. Audio is professionally mixed so you get the closest experience without moving from your bedroom. Rad, uh?Don't miss their 10 artists playing there: Antillectual, Edward in Venice or Mainline10 among others.

7. Afterparty 🎉
After all live music is OFF there is party going on at the Beach Stage until late night for the vampires that want to continue dancing. It's time to jump into the water and get refreshed while you drink a mojito.Last year we had the Punk-Rock Karaoke. You were able to grab the microphone and perform like a rockstar with a real band to your fav. tunes.
You definitely don't want to miss this.
8. Festival Market: Food & Merch. 👕 🍔 🍟
Time for shopping! At the festival entrance there are many brands offering their best discounts for kickass apparel. Don't forget to get the official PRH t-shirt as a souvenir and grab some American Socks on the way.
There are also many food trucks and stands where to get decent food. Pizza is always a good choice. 👍
9. Extreme Sports.
This year, the festival is building up a Skateboarding Competition! That's right, we'll be able to see many lads giving out their best tricks. Bring your skateboard!
Tolmin is also known as one of the best spots for paragliding, rafting or canyoning. Contact any of the local adventure/sports offices for more information and to live an exceptional journey in the nature.
For the craziest only!
10. The drive back. 🚐
When everything is over you need to pack up and drive (or fly if you're lucky!) back home. You'll had drunk more beer than water, slept in a tent on the floor and carry the worst hangover ever, but you'll still have that smile on your face because of the unbelievable experience you won't ever forget.
Enjoy Punk Rock Holiday!
