FOUR-SONG
COLLECTION HANDPICKED BY HAWK FEATURES NEW MUSIC FROM THE BLACK ANGELS,
KADAVAR, LOOM AND HOT LUNCH
Scion
Audio Visual presents Riley Hawk: Northwest Blow Out EP, a
four-song collection of new music from the skateboarder’s favorite bands:
Kadavar, Loom, The Black Angels and Hot Lunch.
The
collection, curated by Riley, will be released as free downloads courtesy of
Scion Audio Visual with Kadavar’s “Into The Night,” available today: (https://soundcloud.com/scionav/kadavar-into-the-night).
The full collection will be available on Jan. 20, and will double as the
soundtrack to Scion x Riley Hawk Driven, a four-part video series featuring
Riley and the Shep Dawgs skating their favorite parks in the Northwest.
“Music
is an important part of skateboarding, I think the two worlds have often been
tied to each other,” explained Riley. “So, when Scion came to me with an
opportunity to create a collection of music from my favorite bands, I jumped at
the chance to get involved.”
Scion’s
involvement with Riley was recently highlighted as the company created a
custom, project car dubbed the “Scion x Riley Hawk Skate Tour xB”, which
premiered at SEMA. The car was inspired by Riley’s interests and features
wood-grain décor, a mini fridge, shag carpet, an 8-track player, a custom
Pioneer Sound System and the ability to play a guitar through the audio system
using an iPad mini as a mixer. The xB also features a 1970s style
custom paint pattern with a “fish bowl” side window and captain-style chairs in
front and back.
