This is a hardcore / straight edge zine, coming from the UK but not in the form of a music zine: interviews, reviews etc. This is more writing about HC and sXe, sometimes serious and sometimes funny. It has some guides on putting out records, touring and feeding bands and more, many writings on sXe, some of them are extremely funny plus some criticism on the hardcore scene putted in a very funny way. In every corner you will find jokes on hardcore kids plus some hilarious drawings (Christian hardcore and more). There is also an article about the non existent punk scene in the Middle East (based on the authors travel there), a funny as fuck piece on why Ray Cappo is better that Jesus Christ and many more writings. This is a very interesting read; even if you’re not into hardcore this is very enjoyable mainly because of the way it is written. To be precise, although it’s a hardcore related zine, it doesn’t seem to be taken too serious by its author, which is a good thing in by opinion.

Chris has been making zines forever. You know why? Because he’s good at it. And although I haven’t read any zines of his for about 8 years, I feel like I’m holding an issue of Aversion again. Great crusty, anarcho-punk zine. You will find articles on Punk and Desorden Collective, Cardiff Anarchist Network, Black Bloc and ID cards. Also interviews of Ruin and Extinction of Mankind and a lot of reviews of albums and zines. Agitate / PO Box 202 / Shipley / BD18 3WB / UK chrisagitate@yahoo.co.uk
Maximum Rock n Roll #273
I’m not going to bother to introduce this. You already know it and, if you’re into punk and into zines and you don’t, shame on you. Just order it and you’ll see why. Interviews, articles, scene reports, hundreds of reviews and a million other things. MRR is and always will be the ultimate punk zine.

Immigrant Zine #3
The guys of immi zine once again did a great job. They changed into A4 (unfortunately I am a big fan of A5) and included more articles in greek than on the previous issues (half of it is in greek and half of it in english now) and more personal articles. Part of the zine is still focused on music. You will find interviews with Smalltown, No Respect and Zegota, a mini tour report of 925, a Latvian scene report and a bunch of music, gig and zine reviews. Plus an article on diy ethics, a report straight from the upraised suburbs of paris and many more on social/political issues. Download the first two issues from their website and support their effort.

Pretty old (November 2004), but still great, from Leeds, UK I had it on my shelf for a couple of weeks prior to my trip to the Manchester zinefest, on the train to which I managed to read this. All of it? Not all of it. How can you read an 80 page heavy text zine in a few hours? Absolutely great stuff. From lightweight texts and stories (like love vs. sex) to band interviews (Endstand and others), tour reports (Hero Dishonest in Russia/Belarus tour and others) and a great amount of gig, music, zine, book and dvd reviews.

Anonymous AUDACITY #1
Two girls squatters from Manchester released this fabulous and moving zine. They’ve put some anarchism, feminism, direct action, squatting and living issues and mixed it all pretty well. You will find some personal stories and confessions, a letter to a neighbor living next door to their squat, experiences on living [...] -
No Future zine #1
This is something new. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a punk zine from Greece focusing on crust and grind or as it self described on the cover “Skull Crushing D-beat Holocaust zine”. In this first issue you will find interviews with Dir Yassin and Cut Your Throat, articles [...] -
I get sick and tired of people telling me how strange they think I am
I don’t know if this is actually the name of the zine. To be honest, I don’t even know whether you’ll consider this a zine. I got it from the zinefest in Manchester and I love it. Five stories in it, 4 of them simply drawn comic stories while the [...] -
Suspect Device #46
This zine counts more or less 22 years of life. It was started by two friends in Southampton, UK and it is still based there and written by the same people (still friends as they say). It covers mostly the UK punk and hardcore scene and more particular the south [...] -
Sapilla #5
Another issue of this amazing comic. Full of love, hope, childishness, emotions, colors (although most of it is in black and white), faith. Socially aware, funny and touching. Many creators with different styles. One of the best of its kind. You can also find art of the person mainly responsible [...] -
Mountza #2
For some reason I’ve missed reviewing the first issue of Mountza zine, a great new greek zine. For starter, this is absolutely punk rock. Take a deep breath and dive into the content: interviews with Magrudergrind, Trencher, The Amphetameanies, Vodka Juniors (+Cannonball Records), Mouthbreather, Hjerte Stop, Bombenalarm, Transistor Transistor, Spild [...]
