Riding With A Heroin Gang
Selling drugs is wrong and illegal, but is it fun? I wanted to find out, so I found a gang of heroin dealers from one of the most economically deprived areas in London and hung out with them for a night so I could find out the answer to the above...
Filipino Gangs
The Sputnik gang is the biggest in the Philippines. It’s so enormous that it’s difficult to keep track of all the smaller, weaker branches at the bottom of its hierarchy.
Surf Gangs
To find the Amazon surf gangs and their incredible music you have to go to Belem, in the state of Para, several days up the river from Manaus. One surprising thing about these cities is they used to be among the richest in the world.
Cult Of Running
Most runners have one brand and make of shoe they've been buying for the past 20 years. They get locked in and never try anything different. But we had a hunch that if they were to test-drive a new-fangled shoe, they'd prefer it.
Tidbits
We know you think your shit don’t stink but you can’t be sure until you clean it with dudu soap. It gets out those deep, brown shit stains that shit holds on to like its life depended on it.
Dress The Part!
Rules, rules, rules. That's what gangs and cults offer their members. And that's what the members want. People who join gangs are looking for a family, which means they are looking for a mommy and daddy, which means they want to be told what to do.
Vice Fashion - Fix Up Look Sharp
Sharpies emerged from Melbourne’s suburbs in the early 70s and evolved out of existence by the end of the decade. They wore jeans and tailor-made cardigans, which they would design themselves in an attempt to outdo all the other sharpies.
Cult Rapture
The overwhelming, grey shittiness of Margaret Thatcher's Britain and its depressing soundtrack of soft rock, manufactured pop and pretentious indie is to blame for the cult of what we now know as "noise" music.
Voodoo Music
The new Gang Gang Dance record sounds like something a cult leader might play to new recruits so as to hypnotise them and ease them into cutting off the rest of the world and never having any contact with their family members ever again.
Surf Gangs
To find the Amazon surf gangs and their incredible music you have to go to Belem, in the state of Para, several days up the river from Manaus. One surprising thing about these cities is they used to be among the richest in the world.
