New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / new issue of MRR-the other side of Really Red, Circle Pit, Avi Spivak cover

« on: June 05, 2010, 06:54:33 AM »

The July 2010 issue of Maximum Rocknroll  is here! This month we have some killer cover art courtesy of Avi Spivak of Humanbeing Lawnmower zine? And a delightful selection of content to match, starting off with U-Ron of REALLY RED, who offers a different perspective to the controversial interview with his former band mate John Paul in MRR  #323. Japanese hardcore destruction comes  courtesy of SLANG, alongside the definitive Scottish crust of SEDITION. Australia?s CIRCLE PIT provides some dirty punk, London England?s TRASH KIT brings to mind the post-punk energy of bands like New Age Steppers, Rip Ring and Panic; San Francisco?s HIGH CASTLE plays ragged, noisy, art inflected punk rock, plus we got some East Bay punk weirdness courtesy of STREET EATERS. MARCEL DUCHAMP from Chile plays politically charged and very raging hardcore, but we also got some brutal grind inflected hardcore represented by Florida?s own MEHKAGO  NT, the long running and much loved RANDOM CONFLICT straight outta Alabama, and yet more twisted Midwestern hardcore from Michigan?s BUNNY SKULLS. We got scene reports from Calgary Canada and New Orleans, plus all our usual columnists, and the most comprehensive review section in punk, punk!

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / New issue of MRR! TY Segall! X (Australia) etc etc

« on: May 10, 2010, 01:05:02 PM »

It?s time for another issue of MRR! Numero 325, the June 2010 issue, features interviews with San Francisco garage punk TY SEGALL, plus we got Hungarian hardcore courtesy of R?KOSI, and heavy noise wildness from Canada?s N? SENSAE. From England we have the WANKYS, who are aiming for a sound closer to CONFUSE or GAI than anything outta their homeland, and we have LOTUS FUCKER, who are also drawing from that Japanese hardcore sound with some added East Coast crust brutality, plus some heavy yet nuanced crust courtesy of MORNE  from Massachusetts, and New York?s POLLUTION adding further mutations to the idea of what hardcore is. Chicago?s DAYLIGHT ROBBERY evoke the darkness of the WIPERS with the best male/female vocal trade offs we?ve heard in a long while. We have classic, genre defining Australian punk with X, just prior to their first ever US tour, some off kilter 1980s Virginian hardcore from TH?INBRED, and the BAD SPORTS demonstrating some early punk influences filtered though a Texan lens. All of this, along with the usual news, columns and the most extensive review section in punk!

Music Shit / Bruce Roehrs memorial

« on: April 05, 2010, 12:54:11 PM »

Bruce Roehrs passed away in his home on Saturday, March 13th, 2010.  He was a genuine friend to many and always had your back and a kind word to boot.  An ardent music fan as well as a long time column writer/contributor for  Maximum Rocknroll, Bruce lived and breathed punk rock. Bruce will be sorely missed.

Bruce?s memorial service will be held on Friday, April 9th at the Columbarium in San Francisco from 1pm to 4pm, followed by a cookout and a show at Thee Parkside. The Columbarium is at 1 Loraine Court, San Francisco, CA 94118, near the intersection of Stanyan and Anza Streets, just north of Golden Gate Park and directly south of Geary Blvd. It is open to the public.

Please bring a favorite Bruce story, printed or written, to give to his family. It is encouraged youread your story aloud. Also, if if you have any pictures or articles pertaining to Bruce, please bring them. There will be a room with food and drinks, you are welcome to bring something to share.

Cookout: After the services, Dirk, the Rumblers, Bruce?s construction pals and more will be hosting a pre-show cookout from 6pm to 9pm, the location of which is still being worked out but we will update this post when we know.

Show: At 9pm, Thee Parkside, 1600 17th Street @ Wisconsin, San Francisco, CA will be host to one of many Bruce Roehrs Memorial shows. This one features Hammerlock, Harrington Saints and Young Offenders.

MRR has set up a fund for Bruce Roehrs? memorial service. Please donate here, if you can.

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / New issue of MRR-Bruce Roehrs, Rot Shit, Kleenex, Isterismo, Necro Hippies...

« on: April 05, 2010, 12:51:15 PM »

The May issue is here, featuring a tribute to one of the cornerstones of MRR, Mr. Bruce Roehrs, who tragically passed away this month. We, along with the rest of the punk scene were devastated by the loss. Bruce worked on the magazine for over fifteen years, first in the review section, but he is most known for his monthly music column, through which he became a defining part of MRR. There are also interviews with Japanese cult punkers ISTERISMO, New Orleans hardcore mutants NECRO HIPPIES, Swiss girl punk innovators KLEENEX/LILIPUT, and Pittsburgh antagonists ROT SHIT. We got pop punk covered with Florida surf punks TUBERS and the North Western sounds of RVIVR. Denmark is represented with the surly teenage post punk ICEAGE, and there?s a piece on some punks who moved to Cairo, IL? All of this plus columns and the most extensive review section in punk?

« on: January 11, 2010, 09:57:16 AM »

Maximum Rocknroll rings in the New Year with a special photo issue. Featuring contributions from over 75 photographers, issue #321 is chock-a-block with killer punk photos from around the world. It includes an Aaron Cometbus interview with longtime MRR contributor Murray Bowles (If Life Is a Bowl of Cherries?). We talk with Helge Schreiber, compiler of the last MRR photo issue, Welcome to Cruise Country (1987), and we also interview 924 Gilman St.?s house photographer Larry Wolfley. Brazilian photographers and editors of Fodido E Xerocado, Mateus Mondini and Daigo Oliva go head-to-head, Karoline Collins and Chrissy Piper interview each other, and Patrick Baclet talks about publishing his photobook, Out of Vogue. MRR house-hunk, Martin Sorrundeguy of LIMP WRIST, gets the treatment, and token garage punk photographers Mark ?icki? Murrmann and Chris ?Canderson? Anderson get grilled. This special photo issue also includes an extensive, illustrated bibliography of punk photo books. But really the focus is on the photos. Lots and lots of photos. All this plus the usual columns, news and the most extensive review section in punk. (Cover shot of Spain?s INVASION by Mateus Mondini)

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / New issue of MRR ! January 2010/decade top tens///

« on: December 07, 2009, 11:05:16 AM »

Decade-End Top Tens Issue! The first issue of the decade seems a good place to discuss the music of the decade we are leaving. MRR #320, the January 2010 issue, features numerous MRR columnists, shitworkers, and reviewers pontificating on what went before musically, the platters that mattered in the?what do we call ?em?the zeroes? We also have interviews with cover stars from Japan, D-CLONE, Olympia, Washington?s BROKEN WATER, Montreal's COMPLICATIONS, and street punk from the UK, courtesy of CONTROL. We talk with author Ian Glasper, who has just finished a three volume series on the UK underground, starting from the spiky punk of the early ?80s in Burning Britain, then moving onto the anarcho-punk scene with The Day the Country Died, and ending up with a book on the UK hardcore scene of the late ?80s, Trapped in a Scene. And as always, we feature the most extensive punk music review section in print, plus all yer usual columnists? The cover was designed by Randy Ransome.
