Zine - Confuzed #1

This is the first issue of Confuzed fanzine, which was a punk fanzine around in the late 80's in Toronto by Joel Robinson. In reading through the interviews I can trace back that this first issue came out after the summer of 1987.

The first interview in the zine was with a straight edge band I met in Kent, Ohio called Youth Inc. They were from Cleveland and so I put on a show with them and the bands from Kent, Ohio called false Hope and Hyper as hell. Joel interviewed Youth Inc., which was a great name for a straight edge band back when they were all using outh in their names. This show took place on May 30th, 1987.

Two seperate interviews with Jamie and Gary of Problem children were put together as one interview.

Joel Interviewed Chi Pig of SNFU at the Latvian House show on December 3rd, 1986. "If You Swear, You'll Catch No Fish" had jus come out so fish make it into the layout.

There was also an interview with Andy Kerr of Nomeansno.

Glenn Slater of MSI did a brief interview as only he can.

This is one of the first afternoon matinees done as an all ages show at a bar. Straight Ahead were the first of the straight edge revival bands coming out of New york. I am sure they were an influence on Youth of Today, but the mosh beat really comes from Straight Ahead. Sick of it All were also a new band at the time and this might have been prior to their ep on Revelation. Alternative Inuits were from Montreal and were brought in to play the show. And I think Death of Gods were behind putting on this show because they were totally into Straight Ahead and their predecessor NYC Mayhem.
