There is power, strength and diversity in threes. Most colors can be mixed from just three primary colors. Oaths are traditionally repeated three times. The Holy Trinity is the basis for one of the world’s most popular doctrines. Triangles are the most durable of geometric shapes and are the only perfect figure.
So, Chop Shop Records we need to have a talk about The Republic Tigers, their four song EP you send just…just isn’t enough to suffice me. This four song EP comes not only with the disc but I also have five pictures of the men responsible for the great sound coming out of my speakers, a nice little bonus. Buildings & Mountains, is an head bobber and ass shaker all…

This is a mini zine I received from the editor of More Said in Silence, Teresa Allen. It s a very small, 1/4th size zine that I really find very telling of Teresa’s mood right after her abortion, as even the title of the zine suggests the operation that she had done. The fact that both covers have pictures of infants on them indicate much to the fact that she…
Charlie Pickett and the Eggs was a rowdy, raunchy band out of Miami that sounded like it had crawled out of a black-water mangrove swamp off I-95. Pickett sang songs about unfaithful lovers, sex, failed romance, drugs, American wanderers, the bad parts of town and the lower realms. He had more in common with Johnny Thunders than Don Johnson, for sure.†– Tallahassee Democrat

I don’t know about the rest of you but I’ve always wanted to be a cowboy. You know shoot bad guys, ride horses and generally be a bad ass with boots. So here I am in full cowboy attire to preach the gospel of The Upsidedown and their latest release Human Destination, a great album that puts images of a far away world of cowboys and robbers into my head…
I grabbed Morning Tide at random this morning (actually afternoon) in a drunken haze of last nights triumphs and failures and found some very relaxing poppy songs. The Little Ones are obviously trained in the art of pop-music taking licks from Pet Shop Boys and bands of that sort. With plenty of synthesizer to fill the fuzzy holes in my ears the sound kind of grows on you like a…

Half Size Punk Magazine from Britain. The spelling in this rag is great, with about a mistake a page and excellent homophone use (witch for which, buy for by).

Vile Generation has a much longer and more in-depth interview…

Man, I don’t ever want to do a magazine if it means sticking three and a half pages of advertising in the first five pages. Luckily, Verbicide does not go the route that most other zines take and just stick ads everywhere in their magazine; in fact, there are only a few ads to contend with this whole issue. So, what’s up with this issue of Verbicide. Kudos has to…

Throughout all of gaming, there have been a number of company-sponsored releases. Individuals may remember M.C. Kids, Yo Noid!, or Cool Spot; Red Bull BC One both comes forth as similar and extremely different from these types of games. This DS title is similar in the sense that there is promotional branding for Red Bull strewn throughout all stages and screens of the game, but it differs in that the…
