The All-crew are: HETS, JUAN, SUN, RID- DER, CELT and SODA. The crew started in early 1995 and it were Oslos most active trainwriters who joined forces. The crew is mostly the same as 1995. How is the situation for the ALL-crew in Norway? ‘The subways are the main target and the hardest to paint but also local trains are ‘ke ff you want to paint more than a run Up... The Vandal Squad is very active here ‘and the places to paint are few so some: mes we stop the trains at ordinary sta tions and paint there. The big yards are rarely painted because theyre hard to center (cameras, fences, alarms and guards) and there are always people at work! ALL-crew is getting up intemational, ‘are europe and scandinavia the main target? There's no main target, except for Oslo, Scandinavia Is the closest so its naturally Wwe paint there a lot. Which countries did you like the most cand why? Tike all the places Ive been but maybe L like Scandinavia the most; Sweden, because it's kind of similar to Norway only easier and bigger. Copenhagen, because shit is running and it's a great place to be in the summer. A lot of funny things hap- pened there; "Rider was taking photos of wholecars from the top of a train when some workers came, he rised up, his head hit the electrical wires and ft threw him up in the air but lucky he landed on the train before he felt down.” How important is the crew and what's the effect, of everybody doing damage tags and pieces with the same name: ALL, for you guys personal? It's fresh when we pint the same name; it feels good to see your crewname rolling by and youre more untouchable to the cops than when you'e using your person- al name. What's your view on style? Style is important but T think there's no need to make it unnecessaraly complica ted cause no matter what you do you out something of yourself in it that makes the style, Most trains here are done with quick, straight styles, easy to see, just for ‘the fuck of it! What are the advantedges or disad- vantedges of living and writing in Norway? Norway is a kind of outside everything and only a few people from other countries come here. The buff is very quick, even’ walls along the lines are butfed within a few days, even the tunries... only the last couple of morths the tines are bombed and rot again buffed (trains mostly don't run). The winters here suck! -16°C some days ago, still in the winter we're just as active as during the summet. So far this year (beginning of february) ALLcrew have painted over 100 trains, mostly subways.
