About Me

An internationally distributed indie / punk rock magazine currently in its eighth year. We cover things that rock, disregard things that are trendy, enjoy a dark sense of humor and drink like sailors. Available on stands worlwide via PDG, Ubiquity, Ingram and many more. Expanded into a record label and national tour in the spring of 2006, home to the next wave of amazing art / punk / metal bands including Casket Architects, PBR, Designer Drugs and Blase Debris.
