H.I.D.S. Mobile Shit!

Since our Nikon D3000 is busted up and we have no camera we have not been posting up photos lately. On the brighter side of things, some of us do have phones and here are some shitty phone photos taken from within the last few months.

Young Men and Woman Arrested in Indonesia for Being Punk

Article taken from BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16176410

Dozens of young men and women have been detained for being "punk" and disturbing the peace in Aceh, Indonesia's most devoutly Muslim province. They are being held in a remedial school, where they are undergoing "re-education".

Rights groups have expressed concern after photographs emerged of the young men having their mohawks and funky hairstyles shaved off by Aceh's police.

They look sullen and frightened as they are forced into a communal bath.

...
The 64 punks, many of whom are from as far away as Bali or Jakarta, were picked up on Saturday night during a local [Charity] concert [for orphans].

...
Mr Leo stressed that no-one had been charged with any crime, and there were no plans to do so.

They have now been taken to a remedial school in the Seulawah Hills, about 60km (37 miles) away from the provincial capital Banda Aceh.

"They will undergo a re-education so their morals will match those of other Acehnese people," says Mr Leo.

But activists say the manner in which the young people have been treated is humiliating and a violation of human rights.

Aceh Human Rights Coalition chief Evi Narti Zain says the police should not have taken such harsh steps, accusing them of treating children like criminals.

"They are just children, teenagers, expressing themselves," she says.

"Of course there are Acehnese people who complained about them - but regardless of that, this case shouldn't have been handled like this. They were doused with cold water, and their heads were shaved - this is a human rights violation. Their dignity was abused."

And they are still being held!

A Letter From Your Friends at H.I.D.S.!

At the moment we are having some problems with "Police Not Welcome" stickers. We have a shit load of emails of people who want free "Police Not Welcome" stickers. The problem is that we are very limited and unfortunately we have run out of postage stamps. We will be getting more stickers and stamps some time this week or early next week. If we lag on you we are really sorry but we didn't expect for this many people to want stickers. We will also be lagging it extra on people from outside of the U.S. While you wait, go download our "Gone Postal Vol.1" FREE downloadable compilation (you can find the download on the right side column) So, be patient, go "LIKE" our facebook page, and once again we are very sorry for the inconvenience. We will get to all the emails real soon.

New "skidrowsfinest" Montage!

Check out the new montage filmed and edited by Marvin Moran. Dedicated to our good friend Tislam Smith who is currently incarcerated. The skaters include Shane Brown, Lalo Trejo, Tristan Funkhouser, Eddie "Mighty" Moreno, Arsenio Aler, Cyril Jackson, and there are some other people in the montage but not exactly sure who they were. Sorry if we left out any names.

The Return of FREE "Police Not Welcome" Stickers!(Offer No Longer Available)

That's right! Many people have been emailing us for free stickers but we have been letting those people know that we no longer have any. But yeah, we just ordered some and are expecting the shipment to get here sometime early next week. If you emailed us already and we told you we would get to you soon then it's all good. We will send it your way as soon as possible. Once again, the point of these free stickers is to help spread a message that police are not what you think they are. They protect only the rich and they tell the rest what to do and how to do it. If you want free stickers email us your mailing address to heavyindastreets@gmail.com, help spread the word, and go "Like" our facebook page HERE.

We would like to take a second to thank the good people at Crimethinc.com for supplying us with the stickers.

Gone Postal Vol.1 (FREE DOWNLOADABLE COMPILATION)

We been busy as fuck and neglecting the shit out of Heavy In Da Streets. Fortunately we were able to put this compilation together with the help of our close friend Ernie Sosa of No Cops For Miles. The compilation is entitled "Gone Postal" which is slang for becoming extremely and uncontrollably angry, often to the point of violence. It consists of 14 tracks from genres such as folk-punk, ska-punk, and hip hop. The idea of this free downloadable compilation is to show our anger at the shitty mainstream music industry and celebrating the D.I.Y.(Do it Yourself) culture. The Compilation consists of No Cops For Miles, the Kid Macias, Status the Shokwave, Screw You and the Four Chords, Jesus Buys Heroin, Homosexual Patriot, Zkapatistas, and Hello Apathy. We would like to thank all the bands and people who helped contribute to the compilation. As far as the future of H.I.D.S. goes, who knows and who gives a shit. This might be our last major project or it might not. There could be a Vol.2 to this compilation but that all depends on the reception we get from Vol.1. Anyways, download Vol.1, share it with your friends and enjoy. All music should be free so here is the link to the free download http://www.mediafire.com/?xlndtafam6sru1e
