Content looks good, but I haven't read any articles yet.
Might be worth dipping your elbow in via their FB page or twitter feed to see what they're about though

I had subscribed to it for a year, but after all I didn't find it all that interesting. Apart from the fact that it often took quite long to arrive here.

Insofar, I'd recommend you follow Steve's suggestion and have a look at their internet appearance to check what their subjects basically are...

With the demise of Dominion, there's no UK mag that caters for the g-word crowd but VLR is good on the punk and post punk era. I tend to buy it now and again rather than every month though.

My sentiments are roughly the same. Fine reading, but after one year of subscription I didn't renew it. There are some things I found very interesting in the mag, but more stuff that wasn't...

New issue out now has a nice Cramps retrospective and a rather mundane Peter Murphy interview.
Also at UK newsagents. A Nick Cave special (a mere seven quid)? And Metal Hammer's Golden Gods issue which is mainly about Lemmy.

Great article on the reformed UK Decay and an interesting band history in the latest Record Collector of all places. Their indie chart hits of the early 80 s all shifted over 40,000 copies. The Sisters must have sold even more of the MR "golden run" of singles. Hard to see a new band persuading so many people to part with their cash in the current market.

Haven't been on a for while so missed this at the time.....

I've subscribed to this twice and on each occasion they don't remind you when your subscription expires. So you think it's just a long time coming and it never arrives. This time I've not renewed.

They must sell so many in newsagents that they don't need to manage their subscribers :lol:

Lately they had strayed away from the scenes they initially covered and there was less and less that I was interested in.
