Everyone was stoked after May’s release of Adidas originals by Palace Skateboards. The brand at the forefront of the skating scene brought us a street vibe to die for: sportswear classics and plenty of three-stripe garms that were necessary for your wardrobe. They sold out unbelievably quickly, and there’s no wonder – they’re skater heroes not to be messed with. If you didn’t manage to get hold of an iconic logo staple, there’s no need to panic it’s not over just yet – they’re back for part 2!

Following part one’s first batch, round two of the SS16 collection serves us a Palace platter. The lightweight black and printed shorts have a jacket and hat to match, so you can walk down the street looking extra fresh with “PALACE” pasted on the back your jacket and on the front of your snapback. There’s also a navy tracksuit, nostalgic of football design perspectives, which are magically comfortable for when you just want to sit down and chill the hell out. Their white long-sleeved shirt is described by Palace – “all white tonal stuff just smells of class and money” – would you agree? Try it and see. As well as this, there’s another dose of Primeknit footwear in “bright orange” or “surf petrol” – a sure sign of what’s going to be everywhere this summer.

Skatewear junkies will be keen to pick up these essentials to complete their Summer apparel. Make sure you spare up some time this weekend to secure that you get at least one piece from this incredible collection, because there’s no doubt that it will sell out in a heartbeat. It’s available online and from select retailers globally from 4^th June 2016, it’s something you’re not going to want to miss.

Palace go way back. They’re four ruddy-cheeked, Mum-friendly lads who went to school together in Dorset. “We’ve known each other since we were pretty young,” explains lead singer Leo Wyndham. “We were all in different bands in school.” It wasn’t until two and half years ago that Wyndham and his mates Matt Hodges and Will Dorey decided to combine their disparate skills and sounds. Considering their past forays into everything from psych-rock to Rage Against the Machine covers, they could not have predicted what might emerge. The result was a meandering, Jeff Buckley-influenced blues-rock sound and an in-at-the-deep-end set at their mate’s open mic night in Camden. “We were so under-rehearsed,” recalls Wyndham. “We had no idea if people would like it. But they just did.”

Two years on, the three are now four (with Rupert Turner taking on guitar duties) and they have a debut EP under their belts. Veins, released in early 2014, displayed a confident quietness teamed with an arena-ready appeal that has industry tongues wagging. They played a handful of festival dates last summer and are chomping at the bit to get back into a field this year. “Festivals are the funnest thing ever,” beams Wyndham. “You have that challenge of trying to lure people into the tent by getting just one chord into their ears”. And what do they hope people will get out of their performances? “A girl cried at our Secret Garden Party show last year,” beams Dorey. “But it was on the Sunday – I think she might just have been on a massive comedown.”

It is this bumbling humility teamed with radio-ready songs and a photogenic frontman that will likely see Palaces dubbed the Next Big Thing.  But, in essence, they are still just four mates from school who get a kick out of making music together. “We’re quite keen not to project too much,” explains Wyndham. “As soon as you start thinking about things that you want, it stops being fun. This all happened quite organically, and we’d like to keep it
that way.”

The post Wonderland × The Kooples – Palace appeared first on Wonderland.

Taken off of their forthcoming “Lost in the Night” EP it’s a heady piece of subtly anthemic guitar rock, with a focus on Leo Wyndham’s soaring vocals which sit in dominance at the fore, presiding over a lilting set of woozy riffs that hark back to the early days of indie stalwarts like Bombay Bicycle Club and the Mystery Jets.

Working in perfect unison with the Liam Saint-Pierre-directed video, the clip plays off the story of Adam and Eve, exploring themes of obsession and desire and acting as a superb accompaniment to the song. Having already been hand picked by Jamie T to support him at his show in Tufnell Park, this is another strong calling card from a band who are rapidly making a name for themselves. We can’t wait to see what they do next.
