BNHA Brofest: Bakusquad Origins

Drabbles of Bakusquad interactions (with implied Kacchako)

DAY 1

Class ended three hours ago, but Aizawa dragged the group who failed their practical exam into the teacher’s lounge to review their mistakes as an “early extra lessons”. Sato was excused to leave early, but Ashido, Kirishima, Sero, and Kaminari were forced to endure Aizawa’s long lecture.

The four of them decided to get dinner together in celebration of surviving more lessons. Ashido had to lean against the bike rack from laughing too hard as Kaminari kept getting a static shock from his bike keys. Kirishima was talking to Sero before he spotted Bakugou in the distance and waved. Bakugou only glanced before walking away, but that didn’t dampen Kirishima’s enthusiasm, “Bakugou! See you tomorrow!”

“Man, I never know what to say to that guy,” Sero lamented as he rubbed his chin, “I thought it would be easier after the Sports Festival, but he still calls me Flat Face or extra.”

“I like Flat Face better,” Kaminari said.

“Right? It’s somewhat personal,” Sero sighed.

“Yeah, he used to call me Weird Hair too,” Kirishima chimed in, putting his hand on Sero’s shoulder as a comforting gesture. Kirishima’s innocent comment suddenly triggered the other three into a yelling session.

“HUH? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!”

“WEIRD HAIR ISN’T EVEN THAT BAD”

“I DON’T THINK HE EVEN KNOWS MY NAME.”

After that night’s walk back home, Kirishima tried his best to never bring up the name issue again.

DAY 8

Kirishima and Bakugou were having another study session at the cafe after they were kicked out of the library for being too loud. Bakugou was in the middle of hitting Kirishima’s head with his book when Kirishima’s phone lit up with a text message from Sero.

[Sero]: Still studying with Explosion Boy?

[Kirishima]: Explosion Boy?

[Sero]: If I’m known as Flat Face, I might as well be petty about it.

[Kirishima]: Bakugou just saw my phone and said he’s going to kill you. But, you’re still welcome to join us!

[Sero]: ...I’d rather fail

[Kirishima]: As men, sacrifices must be made for good grades

[Sero]: Damn it. That made no sense, but I’m still coming

[Sero]: Second thought, I should bring Ashido as a shield

[Kirishima]: Leave my horn buddy out of this

The table at the cafe eventually became crowded as Ashido, Kirishima, Sero, and Kaminari squished together to see Bakugou’s surprisingly neat and small handwriting.

DAY 11

“Kirishima!” Ashido yelled from behind, running up the hill to catch up to her red-haired friend. Bakugou looked over his shoulder as a greeting. It didn’t seem much, but it was a lot coming from Bakugou.

Ashido grinned at this development and smacked his back as a hello, “Morning!”

“What the hell?” Bakugou angrily yelled at Ashido while she ran to catch up to Uraraka up ahead.

DAY 19

“20 bucks says Bakugou is at the library again,” Kaminari grinned at Sero. Sero was too busy with squirming in his shirt because his large elbows were stuck in the armhole, but he managed to stick his thumb up as a reply.

“What? You’re only saying that because you saw him go in,” Kirishima pointed out.

“Be quiet!” Kaminari covered Kirishima’s mouth, but it was too late.

“I take it back!” Sero said, popping his head out of the shirt.

“Too late! We shook on it!” Kaminari yelled as he ran out of the boy’s locker room.

“NO, WE DIDN’T!”

A few minutes later, Kaminari, Sero, and Kirishima tried to discreetly peek through the library windows to see if they could spot Bakugou’s poofy ash-blonde hair.

“I don’t see him,” Kirishima said a little too loud.

“I do! He’s at the same table again. Hand over the money.”

“What? No way that’s him, Bakugou’s hair is worse,” Sero refuted.

Bakugou snapped the pencil’s lead on the paper as the trio continued to loudly squabble about who was right or not. “I’m going to kill those bastards,” Bakugou thought.

DAY 25

“Seriously? Seriously?!” Kirishima and Sero howled with laughter at Kaminari’s dumb statement.

“What? I think the spot Bakugou sits at is special! He gets into this magical zone or something when he looks out the window,” Kaminari explained.

“....That’s just concentrating,” Ashido said.

“It’s like when Bakugou looks up into the air and suddenly finds the answer to a math problem.”

Sero fell off his chair at this point while Kirishima was banging the table with his fist.

“I’m just thinking!” Bakugou growled, thoroughly frustrated at his friend’s antics. “This is fucking stupid, I’m going to bed.”

“Fine. I’ll just take the seat before you do!” Kaminari called after Bakugou.

“Don’t you dare. I’ll kill you!”

DAY 27

The library was filled with the sound of scratching pencils, the ticking clock, and Kaminari’s “Ow” as he got shocked for the fifth time.

“Ow,” Kaminari sucked on his finger after getting shocked again. Bakugou abruptly stood up, causing his chair to scrape across the floor and grumpily walked towards the bathroom.

Kaminari gawked at Bakugou’s moody behavior and looked at Uraraka who was sitting at the table behind Bakugou. Kaminari gave Uraraka a confused shrug after seeing her worried appearance. Kaminari returned to his notes to read, but he got scared when Bakugou suddenly threw a damp towel at him.

“How the fuck are you supposed to study if you keep getting shocked?” Bakugou complained as he sat back in his chair.

Kaminari stared at the towel and then back at Bakugou with his infamous lost expression. “Just use it!” Bakugou barked.

DAY 40

“Alright, that’s it. Something’s going on with Bakugou,” Kaminari whispered to the group, “I saw him stare out the window.”

“So?” Kirishima and Ashido asked at the same time.

“He looked very peaceful,” Kaminari continued as if he was sharing a grave secret.

“Why didn’t you say anything sooner, man?!” Sero grabbed Kaminari by the neck.

Ashido and Kirishima left the strangling to Sero as they quickly gathered their belongings to spy on their hot-headed friend.

“Get this, when he’s alone it’s always that same specific seat. I don’t know why though,” Kaminari gasped, wriggling himself from Sero’s grip.

“Well, it’s time for us to find out!” Ashido jumped and cheered, excited to discover a different aspect of Bakugou.

Meanwhile, Bakugou was at his usual spot, facing Uraraka and Tsuyu who were seated at the next table. Bakugou only looked up from his notes when he noticed Tsuyu packing up to leave. He returned to his notes, only to become frustrated with a formula so he stared at the window to calm his nerves. His irritation grew when he heard his “friends” talking outside the window.

“You should keep walking by, but don’t be obvious,” Kaminari said, giving unwanted advice to Ashido.

“You should do it! I never go to the library!” Ashido argued back.

“Seems like someone’s scared,” Sero teased before Ashido punched him in the arm.

“Guys, be quiet! Bakugou might hear us!” Kirishima shushed the group.

The trio jolted when the window suddenly opened, looking up to find Bakugou death glaring them from above.

“Shut up! People are trying to study! Bakugou yelled and closed the window shut.

“They really love you, you know?” Uraraka spoke up after Bakugou settled back into his seat.

“Hah?”

“The class calls you guys the Bakusquad! Isn’t that cute?” Uraraka grinned.

“Hmph, sounds stupid,” Bakugou faced towards the window again, smirking behind his hand at the reflected view of Uraraka’s annoyed face from the window.

Note: It’s my first time writing for these characters so it may be OOC. Thanks for reading!!

Gabriel Management presents the new High Roller Records releases: TROYEN "Syrian Lady - Anthology Part 1" (1981-1982)" MLP and "Nightmare - Anthology Part 2" (2014-2019)" DLP out on November 27 NWOBHM alert! Originally called Trojan, but changing their name to avoid conflict with another similarly-named act of the time, Troyen recorded their only commercial 4 track demo in 1981. A six-week European tour with Nightwing tightened the band considerably, and on their return to the UK they recorded "Free Wheelin", and possibly "Syrian Lady" at the same time. Unfortunately Troyen disbanded in early 1983. Fast forward to 2015: the band returns on stage, and plays the Brofest Festival in the UK, then release new EP entitled "Storm Child" (2017) and then another one, "A New Dawn" (2019). The High Roller Records’ "Anthology" reissues were mastered from the original, high quality sources. Listen: https://soundcloud.com/high-roller-records-2/troyen-syrian-lady-1982-official-stream

Love Letter to My Library: Mely Bohlman

The Loop is complete! To celebrate, we're happy to share this Love Letter from Mely Bohlman, a dedicated Pima County Public Library Bookbike rider and Bike Ambassador for Pima County Bicycle and Pedestrian Program.

Dear Joel D. Valdez Main Library Bookbike,

I've ridden you since January of 2014, when I received my volunteer training.

Back then, I would assist Cassy to stops at the Ronstadt Transit Center. Then I became a Bike Ambassador in August of 2014, when I was able to ride you to various stops. I've taken you to the Casitas on Broadway, multiple Cyclovias, the Tucson Festival of Books, Casa Maria Soup Kitchen, MegaMania, the Santa Cruz River Farmer's Market, El Rio Health, Downtown Parade of Lights, Children's Museum Tucson, BroFest, and perhaps a few more stops that I do not recall at the moment. Bookbike, you've even been on the Sun Link Streetcar with me from the UA to Joel D. Valdez Main Library when we had a volunteer mix-up during the 2016 Tucson Festival of Books!

I've seen the color transformation, from orange and white to brilliant hues of blue, and your new latches, your new signage, your new seats, your new handlebar tape—you're practically brand new again!

I have fond memories of that one time, when we made it all the way to Quincie Douglas Library's Recyclo-rama. A 10 mile roundtrip adventure, since a lot of clever routing made the journey longer than if I were on my regular bike. I didn't even have a volunteer with me, so Karen rode with me there and another librarian rode with me back. I pedaled away with a load heavier than what I had brought, since they donated so many books for me to bring back to Joel D. Valdez Main Library!

Now that I think about it, that day and the rides to Jacobs' Park were super long days that left me with sore legs. As of this year, I've ridden your siblings over at Santa Rosa Library and Eckstrom-Columbus Library a number of times to new locations. But Main Library Bookbike, you still remain near and dear to my heart, even though you are a little rough to ride and not quite as smooth as the others.

It was August 15, 2015 when I first took you to Analog Hour. We continue to reunite for this every month. In fact, I just went this past weekend, so here's to nearly three years of that event!

Until the next ride,

Mely Bohlman

Gabriel Management presents the new High Roller Records release: BASHFUL ALLEY "It's About Time" LP (new pressing) / Double CD incl. live album out on February 16, 2018 Although having only existed for a relatively short time span (from 1980 to 1984), Bashful Alley have nevertheless made a name for themselves during the turbulent period of the NWOBHM. Their one and only single called "Running Blind" (1982) is a masterpiece of the genre. The release of the single spurned the busiest time in Bashful Alley's career, with the band appearing live at London's famous Marquee club and the more seedy Ruskin Arms pub in London's East End (home of Iron Maiden). Rob Tidd’s move to London in 1984 marked the end of the original incarnation of Bashful Alley. However, when High Roller Records released the band’s anthology album "It’s About Time", Bashful Alley reformed to play the inaugural edition of the legendary Brofest festival in Newcastle upon Tyne. And they were so good that they received an invitation to play Brofest 2 in 2014 as well! The current CD re-issue of "It’s About Time" features all nine songs from Bashful Alley’s 2014 Brofest performance as a bonus.

Title Track From The New MYTHRA Album Available For Streaming

On April 28, 2017, British heavy metal veterans Mythra will release a brand new studio album entitled "Still Burning". The album will be available as a vinyl LP, CD, and digital download, and will be released via High Roller Records. Album's title track is now available for streaming, and can be heard here: https://soundcloud.com/high-roller-records-2/mythra_stillburning

"It’s the first time the band has gone into the studio and recorded a complete album all in one go. We flew out to Poland in October 2016 to work with Bart Gabriel as producer. It was a superb experience and we all had a great time working with him. We were totally blown away when High Roller Records signed us to record the album and cannot thank them enough. Their support has been incredible!" says Mythra vocalist, Vince High. "We intended to stay true to our NWoBHM roots and achieved our goal. The eleven tracks have tons of power and energy, twin lead guitar breaks, driving bass, thunderous drums and big choruses. Everything fans would expect from a Mythra album", he adds.

The album’s cover artwork was painted by Roberto Toderico, an Italian artist known for his previous collaboration with Mythra, as well as with other notable NWoBHM acts such as Tygers Of Pan Tang and Quartz.

Mythra‘s reunion was a major event for many NWoBHM fans around the globe. Their legendary first recording from 1979, entitled "The Death And Destiny EP", has cult status and stands alongside Iron Maiden‘s "The Soundhouse Tapes" released in the same year. The band has a great legacy, which has inspired and continues to inspire Metal bands across the world - including Metallica, whose members have cited Mythra as one of the influences on their early recordings. Last year Mythra released the "Warriors Of Time: The Anthology" album, which featured a collection of classic tracks recorded between 1979 and 1982 along with five songs written and recorded in 2015 following the band’s reunion performances at Brofest UK and the Keep It True festival in Germany, both of which attracted fans from across Europe, the USA and South America.
