Boxfresh presents Frankie & The Heartstrings live at Liverpool’s Drome store student lock in

Frankie-the-Heartstrings-Hunger-Cover

Teaming up with Liverpool’s Drome Store, Boxfresh are proud to be bringing you an exclusive student lock in where guests can expect a 20% discount on the night and a live acoustic performance from one of the UK’s most exciting new bands, Frankie & The Heartstrings. Boxfresh and Drome will be welcoming in students on Wednesday 26th Oct (5 – 9pm) so don’t miss out!

NME favourites Frankie & The Heartstrings are a Sunderland five-piece with a modern approach to traditional songwriting, hewing infectious songs out of deceptively simply melodies and arrangements. As well touring with Florence & The Machine and The Futureheads, the band played to huge crowds at Bestival, Reading & Leeds, T in the Park, and Glastonbury. This year saw the release of their eagerly awaited  LP ‘Hunger‘.

Drome is a Liverpool based fashion retailer stocking Boxfresh and other aspirational brands. They pride themselves on being locally relevant having been established in Liverpool for over 15 years. There are two stores within the city centre.

STREET TALK TV EPISODE 2

Episode 2 brings another exciting interview with Phillip T. Annand , a Rutgers University student setting the pace for progress for youths today .

Annand is the brain behind the brand The Award Tour . The brand is a filtered take on American lifestyle classics, with an urban twist. Annand is a different breed of street wear designer, combining his aesthetic vision with a clear business acumen. An extension to the brand is The Good Times blog, which gives a personal touch to the brand. The blog details the inspirations and adventures of Annand and his comrades. This young man of Scottish and Haitian decent has gotten the attention of creative notables and his credibility is highlighted as a contributor on the popular street wear lifestyle site , Hypebeast .

Annand is one to watch for, as this American Studies student seems certain of his future. His current venture is The Madbury Club, a soon to be unveiled online publication, a result of his dissatisfaction of the current offerings of online zines on the web.

With his tag line “Stay Safe”, Annand’s recent efforts ( Relief Beanies , Haiti Relief Tee Project… ) to help with the devastating aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti is a testament to the compassion that is threaded in Annand’s fiber. Be sure to visit The Award Tour store to show much needed support for the survivors in Haiti.

RT London

We catch up with the latest additions to the Hot One Ten family, graffiti crew RT London…

 

122

On the verge of a major European tour, we catch up with the crew to find out more about their background and what we can expect from them on the forthcoming column

Tell us about the crew, when was it formed?

RT crew is 10 years old and consists of 12+ Writers residing in East and West parts of London.

In 2008 you were ranked 5th in the world and last year you went on to take the number 1 spot at the European Write 4 Gold graffiti championships, how does it feel to put London on the map globally?

Write4gold is an amazing experience and we have really dedicated ourselves to putting our city on the map internationally. There was a lot of travelling and good times along the way but also there were times of real pressure and anxiety. Individually and as a crew we have never really won anything before, so when we did we were so surprised and W4G is always followed by some kind of after party….
