On the site right now we have the Obey X Gas Lamp Killer I Spit on your Grave Mix CD, the super limited edition, collectors 7 inch and two t-shirts featuring the Shepard Fairey artwork. All items were released at the recent SXSW in Texas, USA and flew out there, so as say we've been luck to have grabbed some for the UK heads...in super limited quantities on all items...so don't sleep on this set.

The Brand New Spring/Summer '08 stock has just arrived to us from the ever popular brand, Acrylick. Bringing together some great T-shirt designs and fresh graphics, this season's clothes are already starting to fly out the door.

We are stocking some of the best T-shirts avaible from the American brand, including the Bonita T-Shirt, with a carry on design from the Lucy T-Shirt. The My Choice Tee ,with its half weapon/half instrument large scale print, and the Fresh To Death Tee are another two which are sure to fly this year, plus a re-stock of the Drop Beats T-shirt in a new colourway.

Droping in all the way from Whistler, Canada is the super cool clothing brand Nomis, as we continue to source and stock the best brands from around the world.

Pro Snowboarder Simon Chamberlain is the main frontman involved with Nomis, with other members of the team including snowboarders Mark Sollors, Risto Ruokola and Skateboarders Ronson Lambert and Morgan Smith.

DC and SE Bikes have joined to together to release the Quadangle, a classic frame from SE’s stable. We've been lucky enough to be one of the select stores within the UK to receive one of these unique builds. With only 30 available in Europe its crazy limited.

The 2008 DC x SE Quadangle has been redesigned in a new aesthetic. It has been revamped as a 24-inch cruiser, the first time this larger size has ever been featured on this bike. Like the original 1979 version, the bike features a black frame, but custom DC x SE pads and head badge have been added, to keep shared branding with the first DC x SE project, the PK Ripper.

The “Loop Tail Quad”, as it was known, will be the second joint release from the DC x SE partnership. The two brands released a recreated PK Ripper in April of 2007. Less than 500 redesigned Quadangle bikes will be released Spring 2008 to exclusive shops worldwide.

The bike should arrive to us here at Urban Industry within the next couple of months, so keep an eye out for this very different and exclusive piece!

Dropping in this week, a much awaited top-up of LA street wear clothing brand, Diamond Supply Co.

Included within Diamond Supply Co's latest range are the super cool Rock zip-up Hoody which includes a full size screen print of diamonds logo, simple yet very effective and in keeping with the current trend of large scale prints.

Also included are the Shine On LA T-shirts, available in two different colours. The design is very similar to that of the re-stock of NY Never Sleeps T-shirts that we've also had in this week, yet with an LA twist included within the artwork. On a similar note, the Shine On LA Hoody, uses the same artwork as the t-shirts we just mentioned. Rounding things up with this spring's range is the classic J-Dubb Crew Sweater to make this, all in all, a pretty damn cool top of clothing from the californian brand.

If your into your Diamond Supply clothing, then grab what you can while it lasts! Small stock quantities are due to a combination of increasing popularity of the brand and secondly to tight distribution, which keeps the ranges exclusive and difficult to get hold of! As with most of the other American brands that we stock here at Urban Industry, as soon as its in the door its not a great deal of time before its all flown back out again!

Check out this cool little trailer for Rogue Status' new drift team. This is the real deal, with fully kitted out drift cars, team drivers and fresh Rogue Status car graphics, as featured on the Gun Show tee's which are available from us here at Urban Industry..

We've had a small collection of new Crooks and Castles the premium US Street wear brand arrive in the previous week.

With the Amercian brands doing so many seasonal and injection ranges this product can turn up as and when throughtout the whole year which of course keeps the whole collection fresh.

Crooks and Castles is still pretty new to the UK and fairly exclusive in distribution so you'll find it with us here at Urban Industry and a few other select stores.

This time round we have the Crooks and Castles Gotti T-Shirt featuring the Medusa head logo which is becoming classic Crooks. Also some good branded t-shirts and the excellent Crooks and Castles Lumber zip jacket here to the left..

We've gone hell for leather on the new season colours of the New Balance 410 and New Balance 420..We're full stocked up on all the main, fresh colourways.

The New Balance 420 is a new addition to the fold for this season, still a New Balance running classic, its a step up from the nylon based 410. With its suede uppers and traction sole its the perfect summer sneaker. Super lightweight and perfect with jeans or shorts.

Check the whole collection of New Balance 410 and 420's here...

Fresh in is a bit of the classic Italian sportwear brand, Fila Vintage...We've picked the finest garments from the orginal vintage collection, items such as the Fila Vintage Match Day Track top in 3 different colours and the classic Fila Vintage Tarinda Polo Shirt which follows similar detailing to the much sought after Fila Vintage Terrinda Track top.

Fila Vintage was obviously worn by such sporting legends as Bjorn Borg and of course the brand has had a massive resurgence after the film, The Business starring Danny Dyer.

Here at Urban Industry we try to bring together the very best of modern street wear from around the globe but we also like to give a nod back to the classic of European casual wear like Fila Vintage and Sergio Tacchini as quite often the looks can match and merge quite nicely.

April 6th 2008, 1.30pm...Spring? Welcome to the UK with heavy snow falls..its about 3 inches deep in my garden at the moment and still falling....whats going on? What better time to take a look at some of the great board shorts we're carrying this season...

Lets face it, come tomorrow the snow will be gone and it'll be 25 degrees...well maybe...

Toby at Suburban Bliss has been busy for this season and the new collection has just arrived..

Suburban Bliss is unique London based t-shirt brand, headed up by skateboarder Toby Shaul. Featuring mostly Toby's handdrawn illustrations he does call in friend such as Nicola Pecoraro, Fergadelic (Tonite), French, Jethro Haynes, Nik Taylor and Simon Peplow to lend a hand with the very different designs that Suburban Bliss is now well known for.

The brand has some decent customers as well, incuding Noel Fielding of Mighty Boosh fame pictured here...

We're pleased to announce our first drop of the premium skateboard footwear brand, Supra.

We're carrying the now Supra classic, the Supra Skytop Muska boot with the white leather which is already doing well for spring 08. Also in the range are a few others of the Pro signature models including Tom Pennys Sport shoe in bright green and white leather, the Jim Greco Suprano with a Pills print running round the back of the shoe and the Double E Diablo, Erik Ellington model...a mid top in a subtle chocolate suede fabric.

All in all a pretty strong collection from Supra to get us going for spring 08

Just arrived with us are these cool collaboration bike seats from Rogue Status x Duo.

This is a great use of thw Rogue Status Gun Show design with the guns embossed into the seat and then inked in with a blue or white. There is also a plain black embossed version as well.

The saddle incorporates the 'Piviotal' seatpost technology which means you can access the mechanism to adjust the rise and fall through the saddle itself using an allen key rather than all the usual fumbling about underneath.

The saddles come in a nice Rogue Status branded presentation box....trick up your BMX, MTB or Fixie with one of these beauties....

ALSO....stand by for a big delivery of Rogue Status t-shirts, the Retro Kit...coming very soon at Urban Industry

Wow...who'd have thought it...good stuff does happen here in Eastbourne!

Usually any decent touring band bypasses the Sunshine Coast, missing us by 25 mies to the left and hitting the City of Brighton instead....This weekend Eastbourne got a taste of some different, not the usual crappy tribute bands that fill the local theatre.

Zane Lowe blew the roof of the Winter Gardens and Jack Penate did his thing the first night..Pedulum and DJ Hype finished it off the next night...Good to see that Zane Lowe likes his Obey t-shirts as well...thanks Paul for the photo....

Coming soon to the Urban Industry Store..one of the UK's coolest and most underground brands, A.IN.T

A.IN.T London (Art in Transit) is a new UK based label and creative collective established in early 2006 and spearheaded by Charlie Crockett and Max Fowler.

Created intially as a reaction to what they felt was a lack of clothing in the market that represented them or their interests, they took what to them was the natural step of making their own, at first strictly just for friends and fam.

 Charlie: "We didn't want to be defined by or pigeonholed by what someone else thought was a fresh graphic or piece of clothing that tied you down to just one subculture; so many brands out there had no relevance to what we're about or what we find interesting. Making our own clothes just seemed like a natural solution; the first pieces we did were done purely for the love and for our friends; we made them in a garden shed just round the corner from my house."

With Collaborators inclucing Hardy Blechman of Maharishi and MHI fame and fans like Lily Allen, A.IN.T is one brand to keep an eye on this year....Due to us in April at some point...
