What can we say About Groezrock? American Socks, first appeared at the festival Market in 2013. We were a smaller brand and with only 6 different products (all knee highs). There were no plans, we just packed up and drove up north with a really simple set up, few chairs and a table. 
Back then we didn't imagine how this festival would shape the brand during the forthcoming years. In 2016 we debuted at the festival field with the Acoustic Stage concept with acts like GOB, Frank Turner or the Mad Caddies.We even did a collaboration release: the Groezsock. Everything was wonderful until BOOM. When the news hit, all the team got sad. A festival season without Groezrock is sour. 

1. The BIG boy is BACK in the game.

2018 was a sad year. Papa Groez announced that he was going to take a sabbatical and step back with an indoor edition to come back stronger than ever. After so many years, it's logical that the organization had to charge batteries to keep going. Good news is that this 2019 we have our personal "mecca" back in the game and ready to take over once again the frontline of the festival season.

2. Lineup is SICK.

Too much is never enough! 90 bands across 5 stages is all you need to satisfy your live music addiction. With many exclusive acts and big names like JAWBREAKER, DROPKICK MURPHYS, MILLENCOLIN, STICK TO YOUR GUNS, BOWLING FOR SOUP, NECK DEEP, COMEBACK KID, AUTHORITY ZERO, COUNTERPARTS...it's nearly impossible you get bored the weekend of April 26th and 27th.

3. Location is (almost) HEAVEN.

Forget those festivals with dusty air or concrete floors. Meerhout is a rural village and the festival erects on a grassy field where you can lay down between gigs and breathe some pure air. Supermarkets and other facilities are super close. When you're having a siesta, remember you're a foreigner. Cows are the landlords there and after the storm, the land is returned to them. Grass is precious!

4. Price is ridiculous. BANG for your BUCK!

5. Sing at the AMERICAN SOCKS Acoustic Stage.

7. FOOD court is delicious.

8. 100% Punk Rock & Hardcore since 1992.

For over 2 decades the festival has been alive, just because it didn't happen in 2018 it does not mean you should stop attending. This guys know what they are doing and live for music, just as much as you do. 
It ain't easy. There's a LOT of work behind the curtain and a lot of volunteers will be there so you can have the best Punk-Rock vacation ever. Choose Groez.

9. Move YOUR BODY at the afterparties.

There's always music at the afterparties with DJ's that will rock the hell out of hits to make you dance and sing. Still don't know the acts, but the bookers at Groez will figure out the best for you. If your friends go sleep early and you're by yourself, join the American Socks crew and let's crash the area. We'll be there to sock together!

10. A FESTIVAL EXPERIENCE you won't forget.

Experiences are priceless, how cool is to pack up your coolest clothes, grab your sleeping bag and head to Belgium with your best friends to have, possibly, one of the best weekends of the year? Go crazy, forget about problems and support live music right in the heart of Europe.
See you at Groezrock sockers!

As you might already seen, we're releasing new designs every week.
Today we announce another Sock of the Japanese Collection.

Welcome to the family YAMATO! 
We wanted to combine different elements from the Japanese culture into one sock. Yamato is an ancient name for Japan. It can also refer to the Yamato period in Japanese history. The individual kanji are 大meaning "great" and 和 meaning "harmony".

Let this socks bring you Great Harmony  😜

 

Welcome Home! ウェルカムマネキネコ

Lucky Charm on your feet? That's definitely doable with the Japanese all star talisman: The Maneki Neko. One of the most famous cats has already a place on our Signature Series socks. 
We worked closely with artist Yusuke Yamazaki to release a collection inspired by Japanese culture, one we're specially passionate about and it's influent all over the globe. 

The figure is not only a symbol of luck, is also a symbol of welcoming.
Definitely a pair of socks you need to put on your shopping list.

ありがとうございました!

October is loaded with new material in American Socks! We have done a lot of sessions with models and several collaborations with photographers that are currently fashionable on Instagram!

We bring you a compilation of the best photos we've got this month :)

 

American Socks x Dirty Daddies.

If you're not from the Netherlands, you've never heard of them, but If you're Dutch, you probably danced to the Daddies this last summer. Meet the Dirty Daddies.

With a long history behind some of the most successful Euro bands (see Destine) , The Dirty Daddies came together with one reason, to rock the hell out of your body.
Setting a new standard in the party circuit in just 5 years is pretty impressive. The word "cover band" will never be the same since the white brigade took over the stages with crazy set ups, including fireworks and fire.

Add up, their explosive energy, with an 'everything to the max' attitude + 120 hits in 120 minutes and BOOM, the seven men become the most loved guests in party tents, festivals and in clubs all over.
Be aware, this is an orgasmic party,  you'll need a couple days to recover.

It also happens that they match their sockgame with our socks.
Welcome to the family Daddies!

"WE GIVE LOVE A BAND NAME!"



Just a few weeks ago we had a collaboration with the models @luciaortega__ and @marii.alien and we are still freaking out with the pictures that came out that day. We took the opportunity to take several pictures with the new shorts that we've just released!

Girls, if you still do not have your American Socks shorts, what are you waiting for?
We share some of the photos that came out that day, which is your favorite? Soon we will upload more to our Instagram profile :)

American Socks builds again a Pop-Up store within the REC18 experience. A unique off-stock fair you can't miss.

Rec0 Experimental Stores is the ephemeral transformation of an old industrial district in Igualada (Barcelona). Twice a year, and only for four days, the old factories and tanneries become fashion pop up stores where first-class brands sell their stocks and samples at unique prices.

Each edition of Rec.0 Experimental Stores different. New spaces are opened, many of them unknown, and new brands are also incorporated, so the sale circuit always changes. The visit in Rec0 is a good opportunity to find fashion of prestigious brands at unique prices in a very special environment that only transforms during four days. Afterwards, the neighborhood returns to normal, with an activity that mixes the tanning industry with design studios and other professions.

Find us at the StreetWear Zone and spend more than 30€ to get a free Beer! 
See u There!
