I was going to post in pointless topics yesterday, asking if leatherface has ever been used in a skate video.
How weird
Edit to save double posting on the same topic:
That’s a pretty solid section as a career definer. Can’t imagine he or real can be anything other than very stoked on this one.
Do wish there was a second or better angle on the ender

But I still find myself compelled to watch it, like a moth to a flame.

That’s like me and Love Island
This part is bat shit crazy. Never heard of this guy. Real Skateboards have a knack of finding the absolute cream of the crop don’t they?!

He’s been on for ages but kind under the radar due to be Norwegian I guess?

Herman’s been around for ages but despite putting out consistent solid sections and always having mag coverage I don’t think he’s had anything packaged as well this video, so far.
I think this is the section to tip him over into super pro status

Best band ever!! Grew up knowing Dickie through gigs/pub/Sunderland having quite a tight scene, but also got to know leatherface quite early cos I went to school with his son and stepson. RIP mate, a big legend. You guys into some of his other bands? HDQ and Hex? The latter quite hard to find owt of:

There’s a really good live performance of him doing a seton Germany, after what I presume was a long break (did he stop playing?).
He does superstitous and is abit nervous looking and you can hear English voices in the crowd giving him moral support ‘you’re alright mate, we love you’ and everyone’s singing along.
Quite touching

Damn that sounds cool you got a link?
My mates plays in a current band called Tearjerker that’s quite similarly inspired and melodic/poppy and Frankie Stubbs just did guest vocals.
Also first leatherface record Cherry knowle was named after a mental institution in Sunderland that was abandoned for years, used to go in there all the time as kids and skate in there and stuff. Was padded cells that people used to tie nooses up in, a fucked up pool and food menus still written on chalkboards and stuff. Scary as fuck when you’re like 13

The year Mush came out I bought a goldfish just so I could name it Frankie Stubbs.
Still got the album, sadly not the fish.

Wait…what?
Everyone on here is into Leatherface?!?!?
You too, @anonymity ??
Wow. We coulda been smashing that (and Snuff…and Wat Tyler and Thatcher on Acid and other such wonderful things) for years!
Frankie Stubbs is the best. Went to some house parties in the late 90s and he’d come along when in town. He would have all sorts of mad advice he’d hand out. Need to rack my brains to remember the quotes…
This is still so good:

Always liked Leatherface, that was my kind of hardcore. Here in South Wales it all went very heavy kinda Nailbomb inspired and I never really got into that. I had mates in local bands Diabolo, Public Disturbance, Channel 9 and so that was what I ended up getting exposed to. Just kind of lost me, too noisy.
I found an old VHS tape that I made at band practice with Channel 9. This band chat is totally off topic but fuck it here’s dorky me and the dork brothers being Michael Fabricants in the chippy and making awful hardcore/metal music (I’m not making music I’m filming).
