At the American Socks office we are mad for Suicide Girls. That's why when we got in touch with Nessie (Joker Suicide) and she told us that she was traveling to Barcelona, we thrilled. 

She is from Portugal and as usual, Cristina Romero helped us with the photoshoot.
Girls wanted to make it look yankee. So why not?

Nessie is wearing American Pride Knee High socks.  
Made in Barcelona & Eco Friendly.

Weather was not an obstacle for European Punk-Rockers to gather in the small village of Belgium. A thunderstorm of heavy drums and melodic guitar riffs was happening in Meerhout and we were there to join the party. Rated by specialized media as a MUST see, the American Socks acoustic stage lined up 10 worldwide known bands at our modest acoustic stage, performing closely to their hardcore fanbase. 

sum 41 american socks groezrock belgium knee high barcelona

Here are the 10 things you probably missed:


1. Mad Caddies almost turned the whole booth down while performing "Shoot Out The Lights". Did you ever see crowdsurfing on an acoustic gig? We did. ⚡

2. Dave Brownsound, original member of legendary Canada band Sum 41, joined GOB's Tom Thacker the whole set to play songs from the latest record "Apt 13" and the anthem "I Hear You Calling" KILLER ?

3. Much The Same played for the first time in 9 years in Europe. The band wouldn't stop and audience wouldn't leave. "Quitters Never Win"

4. The Groezsock was probably one of the bestsellers during the weekend, exclusively sold during the festival. You won't find any online.

5. We almost got stolen! The American Socks custom board by Esteve @ AYMA Boards hanged at the entrance. During the shows it would get so crowded that some bastard tried to take it. The team had to stop it twice! F.U!

6. Four Year Strong played in front of a hundred of kids that were waiting 45 minutes before the gig. The band signed a Gretsch acoustic guitar that we'll give away during the next weeks.

7. Support your Locals! Upcoming bands like Call It Off, The Morning Hour, Daylight or Note To Amy also got involved in the project and proved that European bands do it better. We had some crowdsurfing too!

8. NineYardsStore.com sent some free goodies you could get at the store, pins, stickers, lanyards & t-shirts. Next time come hang and you'll get some ?

9. Frank Turner. There are no words to describe the natural talent of an artist that played 10 times in a row on Reading/Leeds Festival, well known for spontaneous acoustics and a legion of loyal fans that singed louder than the PA.

10. The After-Movie shot by Camille Does @ Bright Day Media.

We teamed up with Musikee, the online platform that will unchain the limits in music industry. Fanbase and Social Media meet at the communities where interaction with bands is direct and feedback is immediate. From now on, American Socks are going to be available as part of the rewards!
 
Musikee is a web platform specifically built for the artists and the professionals of the music industry, that allows to coordinate music fanbases with a missions and rewards system.

Here’s how it works: fans complete missions (eg: spread the word about a new album or videoclip, upload photos from a concert, involve their friends, share their memorabilia or fanart, leafleting in streets…) in order to gain credits and use them to get rewards from artists. Collecting enough credits, fans can get free admissions to Neck Deep tour dates, phone calls with Set It Off, setlists from State Champs concerts, picks from All Time Low, drumsticks from Zebrahead, signed CDs from Blood Youth and much more. The more a fan is involved in the artist promotions, the higher he is in the fans leaderboard, having the chance to be noticed by his favourite artists.

Calcetines Altos y Skate: Cómo elegir los mejores calcetines para patinar.

Los calcetines altos van de la mano del skate desde su nacimiento en la década de los 60's. Chavales Americanos aburridos de escuchar historias sobre los comunistas y con pleno auge de los hippies encuentran su nueva pasión callejera: El skateboarding.

Inspirado por el surf, que era cuna para los pijos Californianos que escuchaban a los Beach Boys, la cultura del patín invadió piscinas privadas, plazas y calles. Las primeras competiciones y revistas no tardaron a catapultar este deporte al mainstream que hasta hoy no ha parado de crecer. 

Desde nuestro punto de vista, todo son ventajas en el momento de patinar con calcetines old shchool. En Invierno cuando aún hace un frío del copón y quieres llevar tus shorts (postureo total!) hasta el punto de vista más técnico. Sigue leyendo para saber por que los calcetines altos skater, lo petan!

calcetines altos skate rallas american socks barcelona

Aquí te dejamos las 5 razones por qué llevar calcetines altos patinando. 

(Sobretodo si son American Socks 😉)

1. Te protegen de los desagradables espinillazos. Todos sabemos que un eje te puede dejar destrozado a parte de un chulo moretón que va a acompañarte durante varias semanas. Póntelos bien altos, son como un condón para tus piernas.

2. Son puro Old School. Nunca has visto las primeras fotografías de Stacy Peralta o Tony Hawk? Esos tipos han marcado la manera de vestir desde 1975 y todo vuelve. Hoy, en el siglo XXI, los calcetines altos de skate, han vuelto para quedarse.

calcetines altos skate rallas american socks skateboarding

3. Compresión por un tubo. Durante tus largas sesiones en la bowl o en la plaza, los músculos rinden al máximo de sus fuerzas para mantenerte en equilibrio mientras intentas sacar ese truco. Una buena compresión en la parte inferior de tus extremidades va a ayudarte a optimizar el esfuerzo.

4. Refuerzos a prueba de balas. Las plantas y talones de los pies sufren a base de bien. Por eso toda la parte inferior de los American Socks está reforzada y acolchada. Los calcetines normales del Primark (que te gustan por su precio) se rompen por el talón o la punta en menos de lo que canta un gallo, eso sumado a una buena sesión en la Marbella de Barcelona es igual a unas buenas ampollas. Que daño! 

5. Respira y que respiren! Muchas marcas ofrecen material técnico construido a base de fibras no orgánicas que cocinan tus pies en verano. Nosotros sólo usamos algodón y fibra COOLMAX®, ambas aportan cualidades anti-olor con alta tranpirabilidad y durabilidad.

Si no te ha quedado claro, pues tu a lo tuyo. Nosotros tenemos calcetines para skateboarders y cualquiera de sus variantes como el lonboarding y el anti-cristo en patinete. 🔥🔥🔥

    Ya no es secreto de que la prenda menos valorada del último siglo ha salido del armario. Los calcetines nunca han sido protagonistas de ninguna campaña de publicidad ni de ninguna pasarela pero algo ha pasado, los calcetines, atacan la primera línea rascando posiciones a otros complementos y posicionándose como un partícipe de nuestro estilo y personalidad. Esto no sólo ha afectado la moda casual y ha irrumpido directamente en el mundo del Fitness.

    American Socks se presentan como los mejores calcetines para el gimnasio, un buen análogo para el Crossfit, el Weightlifting y todas las variantes de Fitness.
    Inspirados en la moda alternativa de los 60’s, han evolucionado para cubrir todas las necesidades en cuanto a nuestro estilo de vida activo.

    Los re-inventados Calcetines Altos o Medias hasta la rodilla, cuentan con una suave amortiguación en la planta y con refuerzos en talón y punta, salvaguardando de rozaduras tus extremidades inferiores a la vez que se mantienen altos y firmes durante el ejercicio, comprimiendo tu musculo.

    A diferencia de otras muchas marcas, los American Socks, están fabricados nacionalmente en Barcelona bajo todas las certificaciones medioambientales y con una densidad muy alta de algodón que además de ser transpirable, evita desagradables olores y el acartonamiento que sufren calcetines de peor calidad.

    El punto de vista técnico esta muy bien, pero estos calcetines altos con rallas tienen indudablemente estilo. Los podemos lucir en el gimnasio, en el box o practicando alguno de nuestros deportes favoritos, como el Running, Ciclismo o Patinaje sin límites.

    calcetines altos con rallas skate crossfit american socks barcelona

    Para gustos, los colores y las alturas! El catálogo de A.S. cuenta con 3 alturas bien diferenciadas a precios asequibles:

    - Mid High: Calcetines a media pierna con 2 o 3 rallas. 8€
    - Knee High: Medias por debajo de la rodilla con 3 rallas. 9,95€
    - Ultra High: Medias por encima de la rodilla con 3 rallas. 12€

    For us who live for the music, summer is merrier than Christmas. Yeah, sure, when it is Christmas time you get to see your family, eat amazing food and hopefully you will get some presents (American socks, maybe?) but when summer lands, music festivals arrive with it.

    We did a tough research and talked to the most prestigious universities to create this SURVIVAL GUIDE for MUSIC FESTIVALS. Well, we didn't talk to no university, but we are all survivors and we all know a trick or two, so get ready because here we go!

    1. Planning it


    It should be a no-brainer. Find the one that makes you say "Oh, man..." every time you read the lineup. Get the money for it (no questions asked, we are not cops) and get ready.
    Make it rain
    Book the flights if you have too, convince a few friends (use puppy eyes if necessary) and tell your boss your aunt is having a surgery and those days you need to take care of her. Note: Please, make sure your boss and your aunt don't know each other.

    2. Packing for it


    Every music fest is different. Is it gonna be indoors? Will you be out in the sun all day? Is it a rainy place? Make sure you check the weather before you pack. If you go to cold places remember to bring a warm beanie and extra socks (we are not just saying it because we want to sell them, your feet will get cold as f*ck at night). If you go to a sunny place bring sunglasses and some kind of hat (people with ridiculous hats are always nice to meet and have cool stories).

    Just in case, always bring:
    - A rain poncho
    - A flashlight. Yes, we know your phone has a flashlight but, trust us, the batteries are always dead when you need them the most.
    Rain poncho - Willy

    3. Locating yourself in it


    Okay, you get to the venue/camping zone. Wait patiently because it will take a while. In fact you will have to wait patiently for almost everything, so relax. If you go to a hotel, find it and leave all the heavy stuff there. If you stay in a RV, find a nice place for it. If you camp with the rest of the warriors... Try to find a place NOT TOO CLOSE TO THE RESTROOMS. We know that having the Peeing Palace close seems like a nice idea now, but in 20 hours that zone will have a BIOHAZARD alert. You will need to walk for a midnight pee, but the other option is way worse.
    zombie
    The ugly truth they dont tell you: most zombie outbreaks start at a festival's bathroom.

    4. Living it


      • Get a program and find your favorite bands. See that they don't overlap (if they do, we are really sorry, we know the pain) and create a schedule. Hold that paper like it is your life.

      • Remember that COMFORTABLE >>>>>> STYLISH. Wear comfy clothes and SHOES. We all have seen that girl (or boy, we don't judge) wearing high heels and we all wondered WHY. We are sure you can find the perfect balance. Rock it, but take it easy.
    blaire - pain
      • WEAR SUNSCREEN. Capital letters, yes. We don't care if you come from a sunny country, we don't care if you are addicted to self-tanning. WEAR SUNSCREEN. Being all red and in pain can destroy the whole experience and can cause future health problems. We love you, guys, we just want you to be safe.
    sunburn
      • Wear earplugs if possible. During the festival they will protect your ears from loud music. During the night they will help you ignore the couple trying to conceive a baby two tents away.

      • Protect your head with a hat and your eyes with sunglasses. It adds +500 COOLNESS to the pictures and you can be hangover, no one will tell (hopefully).
    hungover smelly

      • (Also) Drink water. We know beer is awesome and the other spirits can be amazing too, but remember that water is your best friend. A glass of water for every glass of alcohol will save you tomorrow.

      • Eat your carbs. You may be on a diet but the amount of energy you are going to use today will be outstanding. Bread, pasta, rice... They taste amazing and will keep you on track. Keep yourself fed or this will be you by the time your favorite band plays:

     
      • Don't kill your friends. I mean, first of all, it is illegal. Second of all, they are your friends. Maybe you want to go to different shows, but it is okay, you can make groups or you can go by yourself. Set a meeting point for every time someone gets lost and be patient. IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't kill the driver or the one with the keys of the room. Blood can be messy.

      • Forget the electronics. Don't tweet, don't take a lot of pictures, don't call your mom in the middle of a show. Phones get broken, ex-girlfriends/boyfriends get texted when drunk and cameras get lost. Just ENJOY THE GODDAMN SHOW.

    But the most important part is : Have the time of your life, have fun and meet new people, That is what music festivals are about. See you in the mosh pit!kid pit

    Belgium is not a country where winters use to be hot. That's why we asked out our favorite girl for a photoshoot this early December before it was too late. We featured the Rainbow Pride Mid High Socks (available at the online store!) as those are one of our latest additions to the catalogue.

    Rainbow: "An arch of colours visible in the sky, caused by the refraction and dispersion of the sun's light by rain or other water droplets in the atmosphere. The colours of the rainbow are generally said to be red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet."
