As it unfortunately is, if people don’t know facts then it’s often
quite easy for them to make something up, sometimes it has some bearing to
reality, though quite often it is somebody’s wank fantasy. Tony G has addressed
the issue of disinformation surrounding bands like Sieg Heil, Gai, Swankys,
Confuse etc. and what we have here with More Noise issue 10 is a research
project based around the history of Kyushu noise punk. Though Tony has decided
not to add his own thoughts during this issue (though his line of questioning
expresses this to an extent) he has let the bands do the talking. Lots of
re-printed stuff from Japanese language DOLL Magazine which have of course been
translated into English, as well as recent interviews with our friend Passy
(Confuse) and a further hilarious interview with Watch (Swankys). The only
negative is that for reasons unknown Tony decided not to print the interview
that he did with a member of Kuro from a few years ago. For those with a
passing interest in the afore mentioned bands this fanzine is probably not for
you, for obsessives like myself this is a modern day bible.
Available from you favourite Punk Rock Emporium.
