Solvent Abuse 4
Not a campaign to free 4 estate boys wrongly convicted of sniffing glue but one of the best new
graff videos from the UK. Again the Solvent Abuse stable kicks out an hour long, slickly edited
graff fest. This mainly homegrown issue also features European action from Holland & Spain,
including brilliant action footage of Spanish steel getting it's slaps.
A rare treat halfway through, brings us "Newcastle's Finest" at work. The Metro orange-tops being
interviewed by the Solvent Abuse cameraman, whilst buffing tracksides, will no doubt be picked up by
Channel 4 for a new docu-soap "Buffers". Also included are: London, Newcastle & Cambridge walls.
Available from the end of Feburary from Bond, 4 Star General & other record shops, it's worth making
the effort to get hold of.
Media Snippets
The brand new edition of "RAIL" reports that on December 25th no fewer than 27 train carriages got covered in graffiti while they were standing at Southport station. Four trains had to be completely repainted and were not back in service until January.
Train cameras are being installed on some of the networkers operated by Connex South Eastern. These have already led to one arrest.

If you've been on the Picadilly Line recently, you may have passed South Harrrow yard and seen some colour panels through
the trees ...
