Zine - A Short Fanzine About Rocking 30
"Yes indeed, the brand spanking new summer 2011 issue of A Short Fanzine About Rocking is out now, so please buy it!
It’s a special issue for the zine - not only is it issue 30, but it also marks the fanzine’s 10th anniversary. And, there’s an awesome line-up of bands interviewed in the issue to make it worth your while, including: Title Fight, Comeback Kid, Make Do And Mend, Crossbreaker, Broken Teeth, Basement, Pianos Become The Teeth, Funeral For A Friend, November Coming Fire, Bangers, A Long Time Dead, Andy TNS and Grader.
There are also - as always - shedloads of gig/CD/zine reviews, columns and, to make the 10 year celebration, the first half of a two-part retrospective looking back at the zine’s history.
All packed into 80 pages for just £1.50!
The easiest way to get a copy at the moment is to go to http://ashortfanzineaboutrocking.bigcartel.com and order one from there. Copies will also appear in our usual stockists over the next few days.
And, I’ll be selling the zine at all the shows I’m at in the next couple of weeks, including:
Terror in London tonight, (hopefully) the Basement release show in Ipswich tomorrow (July 8th), Poison Planet in London on July 9th, 50 Lions in London on July 11th, Polar Bear Club/Man Overbaord in Kingston on July 13th and Ensign on July 15th.
As always, if you’re interested in stocking the zine on your label/distro/shop, please get in touch! You can e-mail me atashortfanzineaboutrocking@yahoo.co.uk."

Saint-Petersburg, Russia (Part 3)
Saint-Petersburg, Russia (Part 2)
"One of the best Russian Hardcore bands. Members of Sandinista positioned themselves as “Dark Hardcore”. The band split up because of the murder of Timur Kacharava who was the guitarist of Sandinista. The tragedy occurred at 13 November 2005 when group of neo-nazis attacked Timur and his friends. Timur was a member of antifascist and anarchist community of Saint-Petersburg. His words have become some kind of hymn of the Russian Hardcore community – “Who if not we? When if not now?”. Sandinista recorded an album “Libertad Tu Eres Mi Cuerpo”
Cut’n’Run was formed in Spring 2004. Influenced by Trash Horror movies and such bands as Minor Threat, Gorilla Biscuits, Reaching Forward and Shark Attack they recorded a 5-song demo which has got positive responses. From that moment Cut’n’Run started an active concert life and wrote some new songs that were released on a split CD with band Vyshka! Next record was released in April 2006 – another split, now with German band Tackleberry. The next year Cut’n’run released another demo. They split up in Autumn 2008, after releasing their final 11-song recording.
A band formed by members of 5 Uglov, ‘Til I Die, Engage at Will, What We Feel. Next Round plays Old School NYHC. Formed in 2004 they released 2 albums Moi Udej’deniya (My Beliefs) and Svyataya Krov’ Trebuet Vozmezdiya (Holy Blood Demands Revenge). One of the most experienced bands in the Russian scene.
The Saint-Petersburg-Kronstadt band Engage at Will was founded in 2003 from the splinters of 2 groups: hardcore-pioneers ‘Til I Die (Saint-Petersburg) & Da Kuchy (Kronstadt). They are playing straight & powerful hardcore which combines melodic lines & metalized riffs, supplemented with street’s well-written lyrics. In 2006 the band recorded the album “Pravosudie” (“Justice”) self-released on their own label EAW records. In 2008 EAW recorded a “2 way split” CD with Moscow band xHARAMx which was released on EAW records & Moscow sXe label xHARDTIMESx
Young Hardcore band with tough guitar sound and straight lyrics about life on the street. Wins’ Pain formed by members of Komatoz, AntiPerfect and Two Minutes Older. They released a self-titled EP in 2010.
Self-Defense are a Tough Metal/Hardcore band formed in late 2008. They released an EP “Justification” and now they are writing material for LP.
Band formed in spring 2008 by former members of Cut’n’Run. The Rave plays Modern Hardcore with some 90’s New School influences. Released album and played show in support of their new EP “Club 27” in May with At Daggers Drawn.
Black Sheep are a Modern Hardcore band with The Effort, More Than Life influences. Existed from 2009 till 2010, played a few shows, released demo and then unfortunately split up.
Formed in 2008 Part of You played Youth Crew Hardcore, they released a demo in 2009. Unfortunately now band don’t exist."

Saint-Petersburg, Russia (Part 2)
Saint-Petersburg, Russia (Part 1)
"One of the oldest Saint-Petersburg Old School Hardcore bands. Formed in 1993 Marraderi (Маррадёры, Marauders) firstly were a punk band, but someday their frontman Il’ya Kovrigin found the definition of “Hardcore” in the book “Punk Rock: From A to Z”, there it said: “Hardcore is Black Sabbath guitar riffs played at supersonic speed”. Marraderi started playing something in the vein of D.R.I. or early Washington Hardcore. Their lyrics are about social and political problems: like the problem of drugs and brainwashing by mass media. When you listen to their music you can’t just sit and watch the unfair world around you. The band released 5 albums and still plays shows.
5 Uglov (5 углов, 5 Corners) formed in the autumn of 1996. Their first show was played at the independent club “Fish Fabrique” in 1997. They had a tough sound, and their aggressive appearance was combined with lyrics about the hard life in Saint-Petersburg of that time. Hard moshing and stagediving could be seen at their shows. They released their great album «Массовый гипноз» (Massovii Gipnoz, Mass Hypnosis) in 2003.
‘Til I Die were Melodic Old School Hardcore from Saint-Petersburg that existed from autumn 2001 ‘til autumn 2003. Their songs were about the problem of choices that always stand before a young man. What do you choose: live like the majority, closing your eyes to injustice around you or open your eyes and turn on your own brain? Could you say your opinion at a critical moment and defend your freedom? Our indifference is weakness. It forces us to swallow all that shit that happens around us every day – violence, drugs, war, fascism, the hypocrisy of authorities, intolerance to minorities. They didn’t swallow it, they spat it out, they wanted their voice to be heard. ‘Til I Die played a 10 year anniversary concert on May 14."
