Lo-Fi Entertainment – #1 – Review

September 1, 1996

My boy Lee is back at it, always hard at work taking the rockabilly scene to new and greater heights, and branching out, this time with a freshly minted ‘zine.

Flipside – #102 – Review

September 1, 1996

Due to the double-edged sword of mentioning more bands per page than any other ‘zine, the opinions expressed are flippant or fawning and not very believable.

Ben is Dead – #27 – Review

September 1, 1996

The third and final installment of “Retro Hell!,” the purge of pop-nostalgia using the roughage of pulp to flush the system clean of reminiscent waste products.

The Consumer – Review

August 1, 1996

Skin Trade – #8 – Review

August 1, 1996

King Ink – Review

August 1, 1996

King Ink, a compendium of lyrics, prose and playlets, is a testament to Cave’s progression from crazed Dionysian splatter-poet to classicist Bard of the Bleak.

Entropy Press – Review

August 1, 1996

“The Mental Episode,” is a large poster collage filled with quotes, rants, random music musings, and essays on the nature of the mind.

Delirium – #3 – Review

August 1, 1996

Tucked between all the interviews are informative tidbits on the myth of Medusa and the Festival of Lammas. Also included is the ubiquitous Gothic poetry.

Black Moon – #5 – Review

August 1, 1996

A wonderful ‘zine, full of fiction, poetry, reviews and interviews with the top names in Goth/heavy/dark music. The fiction is what really makes this one move.

Seconds – #35 – Review

June 1, 1996

Seconds bills itself as “The Only All-Interview Rock Culture Magazine,” but what pulls these eyes along is the astounding range of subjects they bring together.
