ON SALE – DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE fanzine #2 – only $3.99!

Big price drop to help clear out our warehouse. Order it here.

Dynamite Hemorrhage #2 is an 84-page music fanzine dedicated to raw
and sub-underground rocknroll from the last 5 decades. This one came out
in late November 2014.

It features:

– An interview and career-spanning retrospective with BILL DIREEN,
the New Zealand-based musical iconoclast and creator of some of the most
weird and wonderful underground pop music of the last 35 years. Great
old photos of Vacuum, Six Impossible Things and more – with Direen’s
take on his many recordings, bands and general outlook on creation &
creativity.

Tim Warren from Crypt Records, on the eve of two new volumes of the
mind-destroying “BACK FROM THE GRAVE” 60s punk compilations, takes us
through in profanity-strewn detail how he’s been putting these comps
together since 1983, and the pain the man has endured to make sure you
and I get to hear some of the most raw and rare rocknroll chaos of all
time…!

– Interview with bedroom lo-fi pop savants HONEY RADAR, currently
making many short, abrasive and lovely mini-masterpieces out of
Philadelphia

– Interview with NOTS, raw and slashing earworm punk band from Memphis

KING TEARS MORTUARY, Sydney, Australia’s answer to the question “What would a mix of C86, KBD punk and The Gories sound like?”

Erika Elizabeth’s overview of lost and neglected female-fronted punk and post-punk bands and records you’ve never heard of

The Layman’s Guide to 1970s Jamaican DUB – an overview of wild,
weird and wacked dub reggae created during its peak era, along with ten
essential dub recordings, explored

– Interviews with Jon Savage and Stuart Baker on the PUNK 45 series of archival 70s punk reissues

– 87 record reviews

– 15 book reviews

– Advertisements from today’s top hitmaking labels

HEDONIST JIVE BOOK REVIEW is Dynamite Hemorrhage’s contribution to the minuscule world of digital-only fanzines that read like print fanzines. It’s about books, and only books. (Some of those books are about music, however).

It’s a FREE 30-page glimpse into what we’re reading over here, and maybe what you’re reading as well. It features:

– A fantastic interview with Jodi Angel, the short-story bard of rural California’s 17-year-old down-n-outers. We threw every question we had at her, and she gave back even harder.

– An overview of Rick Perlstein’s “America unraveling” trilogy, which tracks the rise of conservativism and American dissolution from 1960 through 1975.

– A rational, logical, completely convincing defense of the e-reader

– Over 20 book reviews

If you’re on a tablet, smartphone or even computer, you can read it on Issuu here.

I went to the “San Francisco Punk Renaissance” photo and ‘zine show this past Friday, and saw a bunch of wild photos of Crime, Screamers, Nuns, Flipper etc., many of which had never been seen before.

There was also a table of fanzines in sleeves, including some known reads like Damage, Ripper and Search & Destroy, but then a whole host of very cool obscurities like the ones I took pictures of here. We were even allowed to pop ‘em out of the sleeves and look at them a little. Fantastic stuff.

We have a new fanzine out. It’s a digital-only ‘zine, solely about books and authors called The Hedonist Jive Book Review – and it’s 100% free to download the PDF or read on your tablet, computer or even smartphone via Issuu.

We interview the amazing Jodi Angel, who’s written some of the most moving and transcendent short stories of this or any era. There’s a big piece on the Rick Perlstein trilogy on 1960s-1970s American upheaval and turbulence. I’ve even crafted “The Final Word in Defense of E-Readers”. And over 20 book reviews to round the thing out.
