About Me

A Short Fanzine About Rocking has been going since 2001, and issue 24 came out in April 2009. It's edited by me (Nick) but also has a great team of contributors, and covers punk/hardcore/metal/pretty much anything.
I'm also now involved in putting on gigs in Kingston, with a show every month or so - more information at www.myspace.com/moshordiepresents.
Our next show is on August 11th, with Spraynard, Break The Habit, Wrap It Up, Colt Seavers and Late 90s - look out for more details!
