We both started skating in late 1974. I spent my summers living in Dogtown with family friends and their oldest brother was friends with Tony Alva. I got to see all of the Z-Boys skate up until the late 70\u2019s as I was living in Santa Monica in the summers. I\u2019ll never forget the first time I saw T.A. rip up a ramp! I also learned a lot from them about punk rock and they both shaped my life: skateboarding and punk rock. Then surfing came in too. I saw Kenny, who\u2019s in the video, rip up Apple Skatepark years later and he was as good as anyone in the world then. But he lived in Columbus, Ohio. So the skate world didn\u2019t care enough. But years later we both skated together again and we went to Chicken\u2019s Pool and he still was ripping with that rad style. I\u2019m very proud that he finally did become a World Champion in skateboarding later on. Wow. Youth and our dreams. This song also reminded me of when I was young and full of rage. I\u2019m glad I still skate or surf most every day and still play in a punk band. I\u2019m a Dogtowner in my soul. And I\u2019m forever grateful to Tony, J-Boy, and Kenny for inspiring me to be what I am today: An eternal grom punk. Stay rad.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"614\" height=\"509\" src=\"https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/PRINCEOFLILLIES-image0-614x509.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-81924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/PRINCEOFLILLIES-image0-614x509.jpeg 614w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/PRINCEOFLILLIES-image0-600x498.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/PRINCEOFLILLIES-image0-300x249.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/PRINCEOFLILLIES-image0-768x637.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/PRINCEOFLILLIES-image0.jpeg 1008w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Prince of Lilies social share links:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/princeofliliesband\">www.Instagram.com\/princeofliliesband<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/princeoflilies\">www.Facebook.com\/princeoflilies<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify: <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/3ml5rBwM6KDhpt13d2WGa5?si=N_6RAepnQ-iXZ90N-Y2UWQ\">https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/3ml5rBwM6KDhpt13d2WGa5?si=N_6RAepnQ-iXZ90N-Y2UWQ<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"614\" height=\"332\" src=\"https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/princeoflillies-kennymollica-614x332.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-81947\" srcset=\"https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/princeoflillies-kennymollica-614x332.png 614w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/princeoflillies-kennymollica-600x324.png 600w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/princeoflillies-kennymollica-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/princeoflillies-kennymollica-768x415.png 768w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/princeoflillies-kennymollica.png 1047w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>ABOUT GRUNGE POP RECORDS: Grunge Pop Records are bringing music lovers who miss the Seattle grunge sound of the late &#8217;80s and early &#8217;90s, modern bands that have that new grunge noise: loud, distorted, underground rock.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on Grunge Pop Records, go to:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.grungepoprecords.com\/\">www.GrungePopRecords.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/GrungePopRecords\">www.Instagram.com\/GrungePopRecords<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GrungePopRecords\">www.Facebook.com\/GrungePopRecords<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"614\" height=\"330\" src=\"https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/princeoflillies-kennymollica-pool-614x330.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-81948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/princeoflillies-kennymollica-pool-614x330.png 614w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/princeoflillies-kennymollica-pool-600x322.png 600w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/princeoflillies-kennymollica-pool-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/princeoflillies-kennymollica-pool-768x412.png 768w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/princeoflillies-kennymollica-pool.png 1052w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>video url:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/4hzZ17gm4qk\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/4hzZ17gm4qk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sounding like they could have come out of Seattle in the &#8217;90s, grunge band&nbsp;Prince Of Lilies&nbsp;recorded their forthcoming debut album &#8220;Vent&#8221; with Nirvana-noise guru, Steve Albini, at his Electrical Audio studio in Chicago, Illinois, in just two days and all on analog tape.
