UPSETTER fanzine #1, 1978. This was put together in Los Angeles by Chris D. (Flesh Eaters), Judith Bell (pictured; an artist and Chris’s then-girlfriend who designed the sleeve and labels for the Flesh Eaters’ first EP) and Exene Cervenka.
You can read all about it in Dynamite Hemorrhage print fanzine #1.
(By the way, this image and many other fanzine stunners can be found at Ryan Richardson’s excellent Fanzine Faves – check it out).
THE IN OUT are back after a bit of a hiatus with an excellent EP called “Agenda” that rattles off three new tunes – part drugged, part frantic, often in the same song.
If anyone’s allowed to call a “poseur alert” (as the first song on the A-side does), it’s a band that’s been delving into weird Fall/Swell Maps-isms since 1992. Here’s “Agenda”, title track from the new 7" EP.
I played this on the most recent Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio podcast, but want to underscore its excellence by posting it here as well.
MANE are a relatively new trio from San Francisco who play a dark, feverish but still quite pop-influenced sort of sparse postpunk, and I like ‘em. They have a new “mini-LP” (actually what we once called a 7"EP) on Cut-Rate Records and you can get your grubby mitts on it here.
Action, time and vision take center stage in the 30th edition of Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio, a bi-weekly music podcast featuring only good music from the past fifty years. This week we debut some new material from MANE, HOUSEHOLD, PAMPERS, ROACHCLIP and GROWTH, as well as “catalog” tracks from spectacular bands like The Sperm Wails, Cheater Slicks, Angst, Modern Lovers, Methodishca Tune (pictured),Animals & Men, Johnny Hash and much more. I can’t imagine that you wouldn’t like it.

Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio returns in 2014 with a show so packed with hits that we had to exceed our 1-hour cutoff a little, so we hope you’ll forgive the extra 7 or 8 minutes here. We think it’s well worth your while to finish all 68 minutes, or else how would you be able to fully ingest outstanding new material from Octapgrape, the Ausmuteants (pictured here), Warm White, Veronica Falls, Blank Realm and Violent Change?
Or “library” material from The Fall, The Middle Class, Electric Manchakou, Boss Hog and Stiff Legged Sheep, among others? Take a listen and let us know what you think – and if you feel like giving it a rating in iTunes, we’d be quite obliged.

THE FLESH EATERS, live at Larchmont Hall in Los Angeles, 1978. That’s Chris D. on vocals, Tito Larriva on guitar and John Richey on bass. And some dude’s Levi’s-clad ass in the lower left.
The photo’s an outtake from our lengthy interview with Mr. D. in Dynamite Hemorrhage fanzine #1, which you can learn more about here.
Here’s a nearly un-Googleable band from Sweden called GROWTH that Tumblr user UrbanKill turned me onto yesterday. Dirty, slow and venomous garage poison that he compared to Little Claw, which I don’t see any reason to argue with.
This came out on Bandcamp at the very end of 2012, and like I said, other info is nigh impossible. Who out there can tell us something about GROWTH? Because this thing just made me erupt in hives.
Apologies for the poor scan – this is from an “email newsletter” I sent out in 1999 after the fall of my fanzine SUPERDOPE, which I called Superdope 1.0.
Mick never did get that fiber back into his diet, did he?
The latest SAVAGE DAMAGE DIGEST, published out of the San Francisco Bay Area by one Cory Linstrum, has just been read cover to cover in our offices (actually on a plane from Oslo to San Francisco yesterday).
Terrific work by a true music obsessive. The cover story’s a deep dive into ‘77-’78, gear, the SF & LA punk scenes and more with guitarist Greg Ingraham from The Avengers. If I had a massive, unchecked ego, I’d tell you that it’s an excellent complement to our own interview with Chris D. of the Flesh Eaters that graces the cover of Dynamite Hemorrhage #1.
SAVAGE DAMAGE also has a probe into the career of Larry Wallis (Pink Fairies, Deviants etc.); a brief and fairly unrevealing piece w/ one of the McDonalds from Redd Kross; stuff on The Speedies and The Mechanics and a few others things I’ll admit I’m not too familiar with. And that’s good, for the mark of a great ‘zine is true navel-gazing obsessive-compulsive mania toward weird and ignored music. Kudos to Cory and the whole SDD team.
