Interview, interview, interview, and reviews. That’s what Ugly Planet focuses all of its content around, and really tends to keep the interest level up throughout this, their first issue. Ugly Planet, even with the glossy cover and cut-up art of old pulp magazines, is strictly a non-nonsense, politically-themed ‘zine. This issue, they’ve got some pretty large acts to talk with them, including S.T.U.N., Ricanstruction, Ministry, and Anti-Flag. I must admit,…
