Hip hop behemoths Cypress Hill have gone and teamed up with big-shot Leeds dubstep producer Rusko in a proper exciting collab EP cleverly called Cypress x Rusko. See what they did there? The five tracks will be released in April, with the first single Roll It, Light It available for free download just up there. Awesome.

More Cypress Hill info here, and Rusko shiz here.

BOO!

It’s Mike Patton from Faith No More’s birthday today, so to celebrate, here is the incredibly low-budget yet awesome video for Everything’s Ruined from Angel Dust back in 1992. Mike Patton is pretty much the coolest man in the world. If we were a lady, we’d certainly like to hold his hand.

There’s an awesome interview with legendary horror icon Bruce Campbell in the new issue, and we’ve just got a REALLY ANGRY phone call off the lady that organised it. When it says “Why should people buy Burn Notice season 4?”, it was meant to say “Why should people buy Burn Notice season 4 on DVD?” – this is so that people don’t go looking for it in other formats like VHS, Game Boy cartridge, cassette tape, cereal bar, cardboard box, crisp flavour, Betamax, floppy disc, MiniDisc or 12″ vinyl. It might seem like a tiny thing – and you’d sort of assume that buying a season of a telly show would probably involve a DVD (it’s not out on Blu-Ray) – but MAN ALIVE she was SO ANGRY. So we’re sorry for any inconvenience, offence or confusion caused to anyone. Burn Notice season 4 is out on DVD. DVD. It’s on DVD.

We recently asked a brainy scientist whether it was possible to be a human being and not be in love with FRONT’s resident sex-pest and agony aunt, Von. He told us to get the fuck out of his house before he called the police. It was hard to draw any conclusions from that. All we know is, we love her and so should you if you want to be like us.

That’s right you lucky, handsome, awesome bastards, you. We’re back with what we think is the strongest, sexiest, metalest, better-than-the-rest-est 146 pages of magazine the world has run its grubby fingers through. We’ve got a brand-new cover girl, horror movie legends, hardcore heroes, snowboarding superstars and even backflipping foxes. So buckle up, buttheads, cos this month we’re going to rule the world together. Here’s why:

INTRODUCING DANIELLE AND HER METAL TEE PARTY
Nope, your eyes aren’t lying their stupid faces off, this is what’s coming your way this month. We’ve unveiled Danielle, a girl so awesome she’ll make you weep, and teamed her up in some killer metal and rap-hop t-shirts for your viewing pleasure. Damn right you’re excited.

LIFE LESSONS FROM SKATE FUCK-UPS
Don’t let your parents bang on at you about the rights and wrongs of the world. What do they know, anyway? When was the last time they ran through a hotel naked claiming to be the son of God? When did they drop into a vert ramp from a helicopter after being paralysed for a bit? We don’t remember seeing them selling drugs from a fluorescent bumbag? Listen to the tales from these skate fuck-ups, who’ve done all that and more, just for you to learn a thing or two about living.

LUCY V IS BACK, PLUS EXTRA ALT GIRLS!
You don’t have to tell us: we know you’ve missed Lucy V, like, a helluva lot. It’s been a while since her last shoot back in issue 157, but praise the heavens, the flame-topped vixen is back looking radder than ever. What’s more, if sexy girls are your thing, this issue, our Alt Girl section is bursting at the seams, with an extra 28.5% more fantasticalness. Yes, that’s actually a word.

HARDCORE VANDALISM WITH EVERY TIME I DIE
Ahead of their scorching new album Ex-Lives dropping in March, this month we’ve allowed New York’s finest hardcore rabble Every Time I Die to sabotage our fine fashion pages. Luckily, guitarist Jordan Buckley is a kick-ass illustrator, so it’s a fucking brilliant eight pages.

And that’s just a fucking microscopic amount of what’s on offer. What’s more we have the revenge of Gallows, Evil Dead’s Bruce Campbell, everything you’ll ever need to know about Public Enemy, frosty butt-cracks with snowboard superstar Travis Rice, A-list playlists with Battles, neighbours from hell with Pulled Apart By Horses and a huge amount of weed at the Cannabis Cup.

As usual, you can beat the crowds of frenzied people out on the street and grab an issue from our online shop HERE. All our digital versions are available HERE, too.

Right, that’s enough Australia Day.

It’s still Australia Day. Bonzer. Here’s Australian members of Parliament Dangerous!, as seen in issue 160, doing their best to beat Australian stereotypes by drinking beer and acting the goat.
