MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL
Holy shitballs! Another issue of MRR is here and we’re very excited about it! In the shortest month of the year we still managed to pack an issue full of the best punk, hardcore and garage from around the world for all you punkers! Maximum Rocknroll #359, the April Fool’s issue, features Philly’s illustrious hard-hitting outfit the SICKOIDS, Toronto hardcore ragers HASSLER, Scotland’s lady noise attack DIVORCE and the Bay Area’s craziest split punk rock interview with the MEAT SLUTS versus the PAPER BAGS! Also in this issue you will find Warsaw’s old-school hardcore punx the LINE, Modena, Italy’s gore-crusties CANCER SPREADING, Marseille garage punks LA FLINGUE, the third and final installment of Notes on the Peruvian Underground (part one appears in MRR #353 and part two in MRR #356), a scene report from Greenville, South Carolina, and LA’s female-fronted punk rock gang WHITE MURDER. All this, plus a special edition of our “New Blood” section, Shitworker of the Month (can you guess who it is?) and some surprises we can’t wait for you to spot… Oh, and of course columns, news and the most extensive reviews section in punk rock print!

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.
For review and radio play consideration, send vinyl (preferred), CD, or cassette 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.
Please allow two months from your mailing date before following up to ask if we’ve received your submission.
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.
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.
