This magazine is a skinhead/rac publication that has a lot of space, with a large font to comfortably read the text unlike in my mag. Interviews with H8machine, Bully Boys, Agressive Force and Hang em High Records provide a good base for the magazine, which is further fleshed out with a Editorial, 2 show reviews, a fiction story, and cool music reviews. Another interesting thing the Y&P does that I…

Christoph is the editor of the very successful and (always) fun Twenty-Eight Pages Lovingly Bound With Twine. This is a marked departure from this zine, for a structural and stylistic reason. First off, the orientation of the zine is different (the pages are landscape) and are bound with staples, while the style is that of a comic, instead of the text-heavy precursor zine. “An Unfortunate Mouse†is just a sampling…

“Girl on The Edge†is likely how listeners will get their first glimpse of Zealousy, and the band’s effort in this track will ensure that anyone lucky enough to listen in will be there for the long haul.
