MRR #342 • November 2011

  • Price $4.99

 

Yes, kids, it’s the November 2011 issue of MRR! This month we have a noisecore symposium featuring members of Kyushu Japan’s finest, including CONFUSE and SEIG-HEIL. That’s right, the genre defining, brain annihilating sounds that have doomed many a punk to a life of spending loud night… We also have an interview with our own columnist George Tabb‘s former HC band from the early ’80s ROACH MOTEL! Plus, there are interviews with Buffalo NY’s hardcore mutants BROWN SUGAR, mysterious North Carolinians BRAIN F≠“š Boston’s devastating BRAIN KILLER, more noize-not-music — from the Netherlands this time — with NEKROMANTIKER, some Oi! courtesy of Washington State’s AIRES AND GRACES, Canadian punkers VAPID, a talk with Nevin from long running Florida label IFB, and Brazilian anarcho-HC ragers NO REST. All of this madness along with the usual assortment of columnists to puzzle, delight and annoy, and the most extensive review section in punk rock print!

Submit

MRR is contributor-driven, which means that we rely on punks like you for content. You don’t need an invitation to be a part of what we do.

MUSIC

For review and radio play consideration, send two copies of vinyl or one copy of CD-only or cassette-only releases to PO Box 3852, Oakland, CA 94609, USA. Send us the final version of your record—we do not review digital releases, test presses, or promo CDs.

We will review everything that falls within our areas of coverage: independent punk, garage, and hardcore. This means no major labels or labels that are exclusively distributed by major-owned distributors. We reserve the right to reject releases on the basis of content. Music without vocals or drums will not be considered.

Every record that is reviewed is added to our archive, the largest collection of punk records in the world. Please allow two months from your mailing date before following up to ask if we’ve received your submission.

WRITING

We are always looking for interview, scene report, guest column, and photo submissions. Submission does not guarantee publication. In order to improve the chances of your submission being printed, please read our FAQ.

ZINES, BOOKS, MOVIES

In addition to records, we also review independently published and produced zines, books, and movies. Please send physical copies to PO Box 3852, Oakland, CA 94609, USA. If you have a streaming link to your film, or if it is playing in the San Francisco Bay Area, please email the information to carolyn@maximumrocknroll.com.
