Since I can't figure out how to link directly, here be the AQ  review. F-'in flattering:
"We were blown away by this, the most recent issue of this totally DIY travel / music / metal magazine. It's their 8th issue, and it's overflowing with amazing stories and killer interviews and reviews, with plenty of aQ faves. Metalheads will probably want to check this out for the interview with Erik from Watain, or John Gossard from Dispirit / Weakling / The Gault / Asunder, and there's also a bunch of killer in depth reviews of records by Necrite, Dispirit, Barn Owl, Walknut, Horna and others. Which on it's own would probably be enough. But the bulk of the magazine is about travel, specifically of the DIY type, even more specifically, with a focus on train hopping. From Traveling on freight trains in Mexico, to various expeditions throughout China, Mongolia, Finland, Norway and Nepal, there's a history of railroads and railroad operations in Maine, where the author is from, and there's tons of crazy stories, encounters with other travelers, loads of photos, it's pretty incredible, and besides getting a vicarious thrill from reading about all of these amazing places, and the amazing journeys to and through and back, it definitely gives us the bug, to tour, travel, explore, get lost, the sort of thing that the best travel writing does. We've been reading this like crazy, but it's HUGE, so are only partway through, but you'll find yourself riveted, and probably will have trouble putting it down. Also has us hankering to check out past issues as well! Total photocopied, cut and paste old school zine radness, and obviously WAY WAY recommended."








Other items for distro



ZUD "Fevered Dreams" CD (sold out)
ZUD is mostly based from blackened-droned out octave mandolin played in places with lots of natural reverb, such as box cars and tunnels, etc, played in a few layers with various percussion, samples and sometimes vocals on top. Just under a 1/2 hour.
$5 USD's, postage paid domestic ($7 USD's international, postage paid)




Sludge Hammer s/t CD (sold out)
Sludge Hammer was a 3-piece band from spring of 2oo7. Think Tom Waits and George Thorogood mixed with old Bathory  and old Immortal. Or imagine if Von Goat was all acoustic.
$5 USD's, postage paid domestic ($7 USD's international, postage paid)





Dispirit "Rehearsal at Oboroten" tape (sold out)

$8 US (shipping included) per copy, same as on the official Dispirit website. This tape was my favorite release of 2o1o.




Bogus Rendition #7 (sold out)
Printed in late summer 'o6, various riding and jail time with the 2-11 Kid, home bum-in it in Tempe, Sparks/Reno in december, through the mojave desert to see nile via former RT66 and the AZCR, more show reviews, a half-assed interview with ENGORGED, more dumb and shitty stories of riding trains, album reviews, other jazzy nonsense. Please note that the image quality of these recent copies is way worse than normal, as the original copying copies are long gone. All text is still good enough to read fine.

 Below is a very nice review which appeared in Metal Maniacs in late 'o6, when they were still a printed mag...
