Hey all
The latest Hey Suburbia Podcast is available for download on the Scanner website now.  It's a special edition with half of it being dedicated to Christmas Punk festivities!!  Hit www.scannerzine.come to access.  Other reviews include Ont Road, TNS and Give Me Back zines, CHANNEL THREE, DOA, GEARS and Krum Bums sounds, DOA DVD and a live review of THE FREEZE!!   Enjoy......

Just posted an Obituary on the main Scanner site for the recently departed Brendan Mullen - founder of the first Hollywood Punk Rock club, The Masque and author of books such as 'We Got The Neutron Bomb' and the Germs biography.

Up, up and away!!
Today's the last day I'll have regular computer access for a month!! 
I fly outta Auckland on Saturday 1st August for (I hope) the almost warm, nearly sunny British Summer.  I'm not taking the laptop and I am making NO attempt to access a computer until I land back on Kiwi soil on Saturday 29th August.  No real plans while I am over there expect hooking up with family and friends - although THE FREEZE at Camden Underworld on 4th August looks most tempting!!
Business as usual will resume when I get back, including a new Podcast, BORN/DEAD amd SECTION 13 interview and the usual slew of reviews.
Over and out
Adios Amigos
Later...

Hi all

I'm heading off to the UK on August 1st for, basically, all of August.  I'll be based in Ipswich but hope to get to London to see THE FREEZE and maybe BORN/DEAD at some stage too. 

Anyhoo, I've had a review splurge on the main Scanner website.  Hit it now and read CD/ music reviews of VARSITY DRAG, NEW YORK DOLLS, SOUTHPORT, ORAGANIC, CROSS STITCHED EYES, SOUNDS OF SWAMI, COBRA KHAN, BLACKOUT, WITCH HUNT, FLIPPER, F.U.A.L., STUPIDS, PUNKS NOT DAD, PETER PAN SPEEDROCK, GAN, PANSY DIVISION, PAGANS, ROCKET JOCKS, REVENGE OF THE PSYCHOTRONIC MAN, DUNCAN REDMONDS, SHADOWCOPS, RED TOPS, RED FLAG 77, ANTAGONIST AD, LEIF ERICSSON/ SOUTHPORT split, SHITTY LIMITS, DEJAN COLANTUONO, NARCOLEPTIC YOUTH, UNKNOWN INSTRUCTORS and Dr. Strange 20th Anniversary comp, TIM BARRY and BURNING IMAGE, the Punk Fiction book and PIGFACE DVD.

Apologies to the likes of GAWJ, MIKE PUKE, GOVERNMENT ISSUE, JFA, TRUSTY, ANTI-FLAG, ANTHRAX, AGAINST ME!, ANTISECT and more who had material arrive after my self-imposed deadline.  They'll follow in September along with interviews with BORN/DEAD, SECTION 13, WITCH HUNT and more - I hope!!

Anyway - that's it for now.  See you in September bro!

Just posted an interview with UK Punkers, I.C.H. plus a review of the band's album and also discs by MEATMEN and MAN ALIVE!
I've also ditched the Blog on the actual Scanner site as it was bloody shite to set...  I've got one of those Blogspot thangs now.  Hit www.scannerzine.com to access and let me know your thoughts!

Just posted an interview with Tom Lyle of GOVERNMENT ISSUE on the main Scanner website.  I've read lots with John Stabb, but I thought I'd go for something a little different hence interviewing Tom.  Hit www.scannerzine.com to access.  Bunch of reviews too including THE STUPIDS back catalogue, Artcore zine and THE GRIT.

Let me know what ya think!!

Bunch more reviews have been added to the Scanner site including reviews of the zines TNS and SHRAPNEL... DVD reviews of GOVERNMENT ISSUE and the Best of Flipside Vol.1 (featuring BAD RELIGION, CIRCLE JERKS, WEIRDOS and DICKIES!!)... and music reviews of GOVERNMENT ISSUE, LOVED ONES and STRUNG OUT.
Hit www.scannerzine.com to get the direct links!!
What's coming up??  Ohhhh - interviews with TSOL, GOVERNMENT ISSUE, JFA, BORN/DEAD, SECTION 13, CHRIST ON PARADE and I.C.H. + an oldie I did with Vic Bondi around the release of the debut REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY album that was never quite finished.  Worth a read as it is though... keep ya eyes peeled!!
