According to this zine there is only a handful (10-20) of really good bands in Toronto and they are generally unknown beyond their little scene. So, this zinealog is meant to set you up with some good rock ‘n’ roll, music that will make you jump around the room and feel happy – not alternative rock, or “Rock Music” but “rock ‘n’ roll, the greatest music ever made”. (Look. I’m just letting them speak for themselves here alright, so don’t write us letters about this.) You can order Secret Agent, Neck, Slowgun, Smallmouth, Mean Red Spiders (who are interviewed in the issue) and more. But whatever you, don’t read the testimonial about Dave’s Massive Irish, because, as these folks themselves say “p.s. Our apologies to anyone who actually read this bullshit!”
