Zine - Full Contact 01

This was a glossy zine put out by a long time friend of mine Rod Orchard. I knew Rod from the hardcore scene back in the day and we re-connected at Lee's Palace. I worked as a bar back and Rod was doing security. Rod was also taking all kinds of awesome photos of the hardcore scene. He was mostly into the tough guy sound. Issue 1 features interviews with 25 Ta Life, Earth Crisis, and Disciple. Rod liked to stir the pot so there is all kinds of controversial issues throughout.
