Welcome Skateboards proudly unveils an exclusive collaboration with the legendary band Talking Heads, spotlighting rare photography by the late, great Mick Rock, who captured many of the most important musical artists in human history.
This limited edition capsule includes two premium graphic tees and a custom skateboard deck, each featuring iconic shots of Talking Heads from the early days of their groundbreaking rise. The collection specifically celebrates the band's debut album, Talking Heads: 77, which showcased the intelligence and eccentricity that made Talking Heads one of the most influential bands of the 20th century.
Merging Welcome's distinct, art driven approach to alternative culture with the avant-garde ethos of Talking Heads, this collection is a tribute to music as art.
"We’ve always been inspired by artists who disregard rules and create new genres, and Talking Heads are the epitome of that," said Jason Celaya, Founder of Welcome Skateboards. "This collaboration is a nod to the creative rebellion that Talking Heads brought to the music world."
The limited capsule will be available August 15, 2025, at select skate shops worldwide and online at https://welcomeskateboards.com/collections/talking-heads-x-welcome

ABOUT TALKING HEADS
2025 marks the 50th anniversary of Talking Heads, the groundbreaking band that helped pioneer the new wave movement with their fusion of punk, funk, art rock, and global rhythms. Formed in 1975 by David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, and later joined by Jerry Harrison, the group became known for their cerebral songwriting, kinetic performances, and bold visual style.
With critically acclaimed albums like Talking Heads: 77, Remain in Light, and Speaking in Tongues, and the iconic concert film Stop Making Sense, Talking Heads pushed the boundaries of pop music and performance. Collaborations with producer Brian Eno and hits like “Psycho Killer” and “Burning Down the House” cemented their influence. Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2002, the band celebrates its legacy in 2025 with new releases, including the first-ever official “Psycho Killer” video and a Super Deluxe Edition of More Songs About Buildings and Food.
