Splatterspleen

Splatterspleen was the personal zine (perzine) that Amanda Huron (living in St. Paul/Minneapolis, Minnesota) did (starting in 1994). I probably got in touch with her at the time I helped distributing records of her band ‘Impetus Inter’ (she was the … Continue reading →

Armel Presselin & Stéphane Lempereur, 2 HC-punx from Angers (France) did this zine. I only got to see one issue; although a second one was announced: perhaps there was only this one? #1 had also interviews with ‘Freak Show’ (band … Continue reading →

Abhinanda (Train Of Thought #1)

Alan Davis, a straight-edge guy from Bristol (that I believe I met at the 1994 HC Fest in Ieper/Ypres), did this. There was a next issue announced but I’ve never seen that. Besides the band featured here, this initial issue … Continue reading →

Iconoclast (Speak So That I May See You #3)

Posted on December 2, 2015 by smurfpunx

During the summer of 1994 the American emo-HC band ‘Iconoclast’ were touring Europe. I saw them twice (94-08-14 in Herentals, 94-08-21 in Ieper). Nice fellows, smart, caring, supportive of the DIY ideology and playing great music. Their guitarist Kevin Sabarese … Continue reading →

Adrienne Droogas (‘Spitboy‘ vocalist and editor of Too Far) has been mentioned here before… Pearl was done by Simone Mangano; at that time an art-student residing in Red Hook (NY). I think it was her friend Carl Severson (of Ferret … Continue reading →

They were from Ludwigshafen: Bernd Bohrmann (vocals), Corey Von Villiez (bass), Jens Wagner (guitar) and Andreas ‘Huy’ Huyhammer (drums). During their existence they also had several second guitarists… I corresponded … Continue reading →

Mykel Board (Too Far #14)

Posted on March 9, 2015 by smurfpunx

I met Mykel Board when he was playing a show with his band ‘Artless’ for our gig-collective (87-04-17). The only thing I knew about him was that he was a Maximum’Rock’Roll columnist and was considered “controversial”. Certain moments he sounded … Continue reading →

Inkisiçao (Angelheart #3)

Posted on January 20, 2015 by smurfpunx

J-P (Janne-Pekka) Muikku, from Joensuu, did some compilation-tapes in the early 90s and then started Angelheart (the name because he didn’t want to easily hint at the brutal music – crust/grind/punk/metal – being covered). In an interview he stated that … Continue reading →
