Alright so now that I'm back to the comfort of my basement, I can continue this intimate journey through this zine. I'll even go back and get into some of the band reviews.
So I left off after the graffiti done by Inflammable. On the next page it shows a bunch of modern awesome bands like Get The Most, Common Cause, Mindset, Right Idea, True Colors, and a nice little section on a sick band from the Ukraine called Clearsight. The next page has more awesome band pictures of DEA, Fired Up, Overload and Hostage Calm. And there's a section about Loud And Clear because they rule too. I must be sleeping or something because the next pages focuses on a european band called Balance. I don't recall listening to them yet, and unfortunately the sound card on my computer is busted, so I can't really listen until tomorrow, but judging from these live shots, I can tell I'm going to love it.
As the zine comes to a close there are some advertisements and band promo pictures of Step Forward, Go For Broke, and Thought Crusade, as well as a cool Screen Printing place called Lotus. Next page is an old Judge interview that was originally done by New Start Fanzine regarding the "beef" between Judge and Integrity which should be an interesting read once I get to it. The last page show some gnarly True Colors shirts and Jeff's closing notes and credits.
Overall I think this zine is fantastic. I love all the band reviews, new band discoveries, live shots, everything. He put a lot of time and effort into this zine and it really paid off. I'll definitely be at the front of the line for issue #2. I've decided to talk about the band he reviewed at another time. I'll just cop the demo and review it myself (I already have Face Reality's though so that should be up soon). I'm going to go into this zine with a little more detail for myself so I'm going to call this to an end.
Stay straight XXX
