UNDER THE VOLCANO is an underground music fanzine based outta Long Island, and has published six issues a year since 1991. Each issue of UNDER THE VOLCANO erupts with music not yet ready for the mainstream, from punk to hardcore to indie and more--you'll find interviews with your favorite bands n' personalities, loads of audio reviews and columns. Over the years, everyone from JELLO BIAFRA to BRIDGE NINE RECORDS to BRAND NEW to DROPKICK MURPHYS have been featured in UNDER THE VOLCANO.
Writers for UNDER THE VOLCANO have gone on to contribute to publications as diverse as MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY and THE NEW YORK TIMES.
Past contributors include TESCO VEE of THE MEATMEN, PAUL LEMOS of noisemongers CONTROLLED BLEEDING, and members of RADIO 4, MDC, TWO MAN ADVANTAGE and many other bands you've probably heard of.
UNDER THE VOLCANO also publishes HORROR GARAGE , an award-winning horror lit mag that mixes original dark fiction with underground music and a psychotronic vibe. We also sporadically release records like SOMETHING IN THE WATER: A SECRET HISTORY OF LONG ISLAND PUNK on a tiny label named WINGED DISK , make 1" COLOR PINS .
If you're a band playing on Long Island, you can get your gig listed under SHOWS by going to the site and following the directions there.
Whew! That's a LOT of information! One last thing:
THIS IS NOT THE PROPER FORUM TO ASK IF WE'VE RECEIVED YOUR CD OR WANT TO INTERVIEW YOUR BAND, BUT YOU'RE WELCOME TO POST COMMENTS ABOUT YOUR LATEST RELEASE OR YOUR NEXT GIG. Thanks.
