Description
The Loud Ones – Time to Skate – Vinyl Record
Time to Skate is an album by The Loud Ones, a band known for combining punk rock with skateboarding culture. Formed in the 1980s, The Loud Ones are deeply connected to the hardcore punk scene and the skateboarding subculture, known for their raw energy, fast tempos, and rebellious attitude, making their music a perfect soundtrack for skateboarding.
Time to Skate features fast-paced punk rock, typical of skate punk, with short, aggressive songs, distorted guitars, and rapid drumming. The band’s connection to skate culture suggests songs celebrating the freedom and adrenaline of skateboarding while also reflecting the rebellious attitude synonymous with punk rock. The Loud Ones embody the DIY nature of the skate punk scene, with raw, unpolished production and a garage-like sound.
As the album title suggests, skateboarding is a central theme, and the songs are likely anthems for the skate scene, embracing the rush of skating, the culture around it, and its anti-authoritarian ethos. Like much of punk rock, the lyrics express frustration with authority and the establishment, celebrating freedom, non-conformity, and youthful energy. The music carries a lighthearted but chaotic feel, capturing the reckless fun associated with both punk rock and skateboarding.
The Loud Ones are part of the skate punk tradition, a subgenre of punk rock that closely aligns with skate culture, popularized by bands like Suicidal Tendencies and The Faction. Albums like “Time to Skate” help cement the band’s place in the niche of punk bands whose music embodies the energy and spirit of skateboarding.
For fans of skate punk and hardcore punk, Time to Skate serves as an adrenaline-filled album that connects the fast, aggressive sound of punk with the rebellious skateboarding lifestyle.
