Subversion #5 Review

Originally published in Married Punks #13, published in 1998.


Subversion consistently improves, and it always delivers a good read, even if I don't agree with some of the editor's opinions. (I think his views on school play into capitalism too much, and of Pennywise he says that it is "one of the premiere punk bands of all times.")

Mr. Rogers, the editor, opens strongly with a piece about going to Maximumrocknroll to see about using a scanner. He's brushed off twice, and quite rudely, by Tim Yohannan. Nice, Tim.

Other highlights include the inspirational "Looking Out for #1," "The Burning Question," and the piece I didn't quite agree with, "School is Cool."

Too bad I sent in the new 'zine survey before I read this issue. I would have granted it a favorite status.

Married Punks #4: Glitz Review

From Married Punks #4, which was most likely published in 1995. I transcribed the review as it originally appeared.

Glitz Feed the Gatorz tape

More structured than their last release, and less experimental. Bad? Only if you feel that all music should sound like The Queers. Lots of songs about sucking cocks and getting sucked and fucked. Needless to say: I liked it. If you're not open to new things -- you won't like it. MRR would be ver displeased. Fuck 'em.
