Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols, is the host of radio show “Jonesy’s Jukebox”, which features everything from groundbreaking new music from his personal collection to current events discussions and guest interviews of all varieties, with a living-room conversation vibe. The Sex Pistols inspired a punk rock revolution starting in the U.K. during the mid-to-late 1970’s and spread throughout the music world.
Jeff Ho has been a seminal force in the surf and skateboarding worlds for more than four decades. Ho formed the original Zephyr Surf and Skate Team, which evolved into an award-winning competitive team, 12 of which (including Jeff) were featured in the critically-acclaimed documentary, “Dogtown and Z-Boys”. Today, Ho continues to surf, design and build surfboards and skateboards, and still chooses to do most of his artwork by hand.
Ruen Brothers bridge eras on their 2015 debut EP, Point Dume. With legendary producer Rick Rubin at the helm, the boys—Henry and Rupert Stansall—confidently channel their knowledge and early influences of Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison and the Stones while continuing the tradition of the modern rock crooner started by the likes of Morrissey, Jarvis Cocker, and Ian McCulloch.
