It covers mainly "non-commercial" bands, mostly American ;y American conglomerations which up until recently have been restricted to a local area but are now attempting to achieve some kind of national recognition. The thing that caught my eye was a cover pic of Peter Holsapple of the dB's, a great but largely unnoticed band from New York. It also had a (bizzare) interview with Robin Hitchcock, leader of the also great but unnoticed band the Soft Boys from Britain. Sample quote: "my fostex [tape recorder] is small, about the size of the empire state building if the empire state building were reduced to the size of a fostex." Quite the weirdo. But writes great songs. The mag also had an article about the "Butthole Surfers" (name of the year award?), a quaint little outfit from San Antonio, Texas. Good rag, but may be hard to find. --------
