Fanzine ad for ADULT CONTEMPORARY Records, scanned from Forced Exposure #11 in 1987. None of the promised “forthcoming” records – Laughing Hyenas, Drunks With Guns, Terveet Kadet (!) – never came out, at least not on Adult Contemporary, which pretty much folded up shop right around this time.
While it’s not the greatest scan my flatbed has ever rendered, it’s a fantastic fanzine from the early 90s – WIPE OUT! #6, penned by Eric Friedl/Oblivian, straight outta Memphis.
Teenage Mark Arm, reviewing the first NEGATIVE APPROACH single in Attack #8, early 1983.
As you can see, my copy got a little waterlogged and/or damaged over the years, but this is a lost early 1983 hardcore punk fanzine from Seattle called ATTACK, #8. It was published by Jo Smitty, aka Jeff Smith, then of the band Mr. Epp & The Calculations, and later the man behind Feminist Baseball fanzine, a record label and even a pizza place.
His teenage bandmate Mark Arm contributes many of the reviews in this one, some of which I’ll be posting in the weeks to come.
John Brannon from LAUGHING HYENAS, scanned out of Conflict fanzine #48, 1988.
