Welcome to Suburbia
To celebrate Huck 45, curated by artist, skateboarder and chronicler of teenage California Ed Templeton, we are having a Huck website summer takeover dedicated to Ed’s longtime muse, suburbia.
We’ve got sounds from Plague Vendor, a poetic take on living in the ‘burbs from Aaron Fagan and our regular series, the Suburban Youth Pop Quiz, where we ask characters from our world what their suburban youth meant to them.
Check out the whole Welcome to Suburbia series or jump straight to the Suburban Youth Pop Quiz.
The Skateboarding Special – Volume I: Transformations
A new spin-off issue of Huck magazine supported by Levi’s Skateboarding that celebrates the many different dimensions of skate.

Flow Festival, Helsinki
At Flow Festival, a carnival of creativity and culture in an abandoned Helsinki power plant, we’re asking bands big and small to share their ‘DIY or Die’ moments. We’ve caught up with Little Dragon, Neneh Cherry, Finnish/Nigerian rapper Noah Kin and a host more you need to get to know.
Check out all our Flow coverage here.
