Review: Konspirazine Issue No. 5.

Wow. This zine has been blown way out of proportion, meaning 96 pages thick, and f'n loaded at that. Jep interviews local zinester Dane of I Remember Halloween, Flattbush (CA) who recently toured the Philippines, Tame The Tikbalang (scene vets way down from the early 90s), Driven Fear (very positive interview from this Aussie-based band, hopefully they can tour here again), The Prolets (anti-imperialist punk band from Paranaque City who recently released their record), The Crimson Cartel (good interview with this really active band. Can't see why the thrash connection, they are more on the hardcore tip. They recently released their record, check it out), Ill Content (bay area based hc/crossover band featuring von from davao city, waddup brother?) and Grand Hotel Paradox (Dubai, UAE) who will be doing a second round of touring this month, do check em out.

Told ya this one's loaded. Also features some write-ups, columns and reviews. A very good issue and current representation of the local scene.
