Union MagaZine 7 Inch "Here comes issue 7 with all the usual bluster we give. This one is a little more than just a magazine though, and it comes with a 7" vinyl record recorded by the magazine makers. Let me give you the not so long winded information. Music has always been an integral part of BMX to us, we wanted to do something on BMX riders who play music in this issue, and to find out the experience of actually making some music our selves… Inspired after watching Eddie Roman in Ride like a man make his own songs to a couple of sections from said video I instantly thought, we need to do something like this. We went into rehearsal rooms every week for 1 year, at the end of that year went into a recording studio and came out with 3 of our own ‘metal’ songs… which are the songs on the record. Theres a QR code for download inside as we know most people have no record player. Our journey into this project is covered with in the magazine.
