Raw Magazine, UK, 1992.....Annoying The Neighbours With Poison Idea

This is an interesting piece. Jerry A bought along 10 of his favourite LP's and gives some info about the bands. Needless to say the Germs and GISM get favourable mentions.

Kerrang! Magazine, UK, 1993.....Marquee London April 1st 1993 Gig Review

This is a good review of what seems to have been a very chaotic gig. I have an audio recording of this but what I'd give for a video version!

Record / Merch: Latest Will And Testament, wooden box edition

This is a very interesting release. As a celebration of the last LP release, Farewell records put this little set together.

If you were one of the lucky 125 to have pre-ordered you would have received the following:

1) Exclusive green splattered vinyl copy of the album.
2) T shirt
3) Patch
4) Button badge
5) Playmobile figure (Poison Idea style)

All housed in a huge and numbered handmade, hand printed silk screened box!

I didn't get one of these, so needless to say if you have one and are willing to part with it for a decent price, please get in touch.

Kerrang! Magazine, UK, 1993.....'Pigs In Shit'.

Okay here's another one from the archives. Kerrang! magazine comes out in the UK every Wednesday. When I was a young lad of 14 my mom used to pick up the new issue for me hot of the presses every Wednesday morning on her way back from work. She used to work a really early morning job. Anyway on the day of this issue's release she got back home just before I was about to leave home for school...I had a quick scan of the magazine and had to leave the house miserable because this great band I'd only just discovered the previous year were splitting up.

This article is one of my favourites, it's a great read.

Kerrang! Magazine, UK, 1992.....'It's All Pie In The Sty'

Hello all,

I'm not going to post in any kind of order. I'll be uploading stuff as I stumble across it. First up is a scan of a piece published in Kerrang! magazine in 1992. I don't have an issue number I'm afraid, if you can give me that info please do.

One of my favourite quotes is the comment Pig makes..."The worst thing about the whole punk rock ethic was that it told everybody, 'Hey, you can do it'. So everybody thinks they can do it and the problem is, everybody can't. Most of the people that are doing it are doing it badly. Most of it's dogshit".

Thanks for reading. If anyone can provide scans or links of interviews, flyers, reviews, anything that may be of interest please get in touch.
