Review: Konspirazine No. 3



Everyone knows how much I love paper zines so I was pretty stoked that another one was just released by Jep Peligro. This is actually a resurrection issue of sorts since the last issue was released almost a decade ago.

To start off, this issue is pretty thick and stacked with interviews with 350.org (a lengthy one which discusses the past and future projects being undertaken by the group as well as their background and of course the environment), Insane Bazooka (Alvin Resurrected who' currently busy organizing shows and touring bands), a really good interview with The Beauty of Doubt, a profile on Bound By Fury (where re you guys right now, play more shows or record your demo!), a very lengthy interview with Hongkong's King Ly Chee (it's amazing of Riz' knowledge of the Philippines), Lipslide (pinoy hardcore kids based in Dubai, who are also featured in the upcoming Pilipinas Thrash Detonation comp) and my favorite, the BIOFEEDBACK interview wherein Jep picks the brains of the three remaining members of one of the greatest bands to come out of the Philippine hardcore punk community. The BFK tribute should definitely come out soon, it's been almost 7 years (?) in the works but this band deserves it.

There's also a couple of articles and columns done by the editor and some contributos plus a poll. Great job Jeff, and thanks for the copy!

Currently watching: Orlando @ Boston. Game 3.

Later this afternoon: Forgiveness Denied reunion show (also reunions of Sauna and Richard Collier!). Come early!
