Primarily
photographs from Atlanta, Chicago, and Cleveland. There's a one frame
cartoon, and a rant transcribed from an audio recording of a drummer
going off about the craziness of their tour schedule. The band is
from Atlanta, (oddly, the name of the band was blacked out after the
zine was print ready.) Apparently they got lucky opening for a big
name act, only problem was the headliners were flying to all the
gigs, and the Atlanta band had to drive. I used to be an over the
road semi driver and I gotta tell you it's pretty mind numbing what
they did.
Since
this is issue #1, and because
it's
brief and not centered on anything in particular, it's hard to say
what exactly it is about. Not that that matters.
I
would say It's
energetic and
upbeat, but I could be projecting that.
I
met Mark for the first time when he handed the zine over for review.
I sent an email inquiring about it and he wrote back, “Honestly, I
live one block away from you. Want to meet up for a coffee...?” He
was energetic and upbeat, so my assessment of the printed matter may
not be entirely subjective. Regardless, I give both the man and the
zine a thumbs up.
