One of my favorite zines today. Dane has been consistently putting out IRH the last couple of years and so far his work has not yet disappointed me. This time we have interviews with Kae-Roe-Shi (Kuala Lumpur political hardcore), Thou (Louisiana) – the interview was done with Zepol so it was a fresh read, Staid (local straightedge group with members from Feud, Chokecocoi, Half the Battle – quite an all-star cast!:)) , quite simply the best interview of this issue, Omerta (Bulacan sludge-masters), Fight Amputation (New Jersey), Protestant (Milwaukee) and Requiem (North Carolina)- a reprint from an issue of Interpretation Fanzine no. 2 from 2007 (the interviewer asks very interesting questions to Brian D. of Catharsis fame), another great read from one of the hardest working guys in hardcore right now. And that’s just the interviews section. The questions were all well-thought out and gives the readers quite and interesting time in getting to know the background of the aforementioned bands.
IRH also features a couple of write-ups from the editor, some zine and record reviews, pics, flyers among other stuff. Make sure to pick this up. This is essential zine reading for all you internet geeks out there. (Dane Cortes, PO Box 1504, Quezon City CPO, 1155 Quezon City, Philippines)
