DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE is on Facebook and Twitter, and sometimes we even post there. Come follow us if you’d like.
The mighty TALES OF TERROR, live in Houston in the early 80s.
THE HUNS, the Chicago-based garage punk band responsible for the ear-shredding “Destination Lonely” from 1966.
I made this ad for our fanzine to run in Rubberneck magazine about 6 months ago, but never actually found out if the thing ran. Anyway, Dynamite Hemorrhage #1 is available right now from 12XU mail-order if you’d like a copy.
I may be unable to sell any of these from my temporary Norwegian address this summer, but DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE fanzine #1 is still available from 12XU Mailorder, and you can buy one right here.
Meanwhile, if I can tear myself away from work, family, the World Cup and the siren song of European socialism, I’ll make some progress on a Dynamite Hemorrhage fanzine #2 to come out later this year.
From WIPEOUT! fanzine #5.
The Young Marble Giants have had little live experience. Apart from their occasional Cardiff gigs, four in London is their sum total. Onstage, they’re extremely static and a little po-faced. Alison sings with her hands in her pockets while the Moxham brothers loom gauntly on either side of her, each with a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth.
The effect is a cross between the casual and the terrified.
“We don’t move because we’re so scared,” explains Alison.
Stuart embellishes a little. “As well as that, it isn’t particularly dance music, it is minimal. I think we’re quite English in a way, very restrained.
“But some of our songs, like "Choci Loni,” are quite funny, and people don’t seem to realise—"
“It’s probably the way I sing them,” mutters Alison.
“— but if they’d all stand around and laugh, we’d be delighted.” concludes Stuart.

An article on the AU PAIRS from RIPPER fanzine in 1981.
This “germinal” UK feminist agitprop post-punk band, one of my all-time faves, is sorta the fish out of water in this San Jose-based hardcore ‘zine, which otherwise features The Lewd, Wasted Youth, TSOL and Black Flag in the rest of the issue. Bully for Tim Tanooka & the boys for some vision and taste.
