Zine - Taint #2.5

This was the last issue of the zine under this name. It came out in the summer of 2001 and was published by Matt Bickle of Slasher Records. This issue is mostly photos and I think that is why it earned the half number. Having said that this issue does feature interviews with Kent McClard of HeartattaCk / ebullition fame, an interview with Manowar, and a column by Paul Pfeiffer of Wadge. The photos include pictures of

-          Dead Nation, Ruination, Limp Wrist, Fast Times, at Chicago Fest.

-          The Locust, Reversal of Man, Bloodpact, 9 Shocks Terror, and Hacksaw at Michigan fest

-          Life`s Halt, What Happens Next, and Gordon Solie Motherfuckers at their last show in Cleveland

The photos are large and remind me of the style that Martin Sorrondeguy applied to the posters that accompanied the “Hysteria” compilation.

Full Contact Interview - What Happens Next?

Click to download the interview.

This is an interview I did with Max Ward about What Happens Next? Max Ward is many things to many people, but at the time of this he was the drummer for WHN? This interview was for Full Contact Magazine and appeared in issue 4. Rod Orchard was the guy behind the zine and he had these translated into Kenji so there is a Japanese translation alongside the English. Pretty cool. This came out in late 1997.
