Description

“Music, fashion, and culture…to die for!” Interviews with musicians, fashion tips for this aesthetic, reviews of books and movies, at-home project ideas, and comics. Vol. 1, Issue 1.
The item is over 100 pages long, and it features a mostly black, white, and red color scheme. One interview is with Patrik Mata, a member of the band Kommunity FK. The other member of the band is his wife, Sherry Rubber. Three of the interviews are with members of the band Christian Death. Fyan Wildstar, Eva O, and Gitane Demone speak on the the suicide of their late band member, Rozz. The cabinet in which Rozz hanged himself is on display at the Los Angeles Museum of Death. The editor in chief, Alex Baker, is now the editor in chief for the website post-punk.com and has interviewed artists like Danny Elfman, the composer for many Tim Burton films. The cover of the magazine features an unknown woman with many pins and patches on her jacket; some are unidentifiable, but others like the U.K. Subs and Gang of Four refer to English punk bands, both formed in 1976. Another pin perhaps says Voodoo Church. At the time of this publication, this L.A.-based band had only released two albums 22 years apart from each other, the first in 1982 and the second in 2004.
