An average music zine that covers mostly mainstream bands and few underground rock/ glam/ pop/ punk bands. The interviews are pretty good and range from well known acts like Disturbed and Pitchshifter to more indie bands such as Libertine and My Ruin. The feature articles are well written and definitely give you what you expect. There is also a requisite pile of reviews. Nothing groundbreaking here, but hey, that’s just fine. (Kevin Jagernauth)
