MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL
Welcome to 2015 and another issue of the longest-running punk fanzine on the planet, Maximum Rocknroll! MRR #381, the February 2015 issue, features a posthumous interview with the Pacific Northwest’s HYSTERICS conducted during their European tour, Liz Panella of EARTH GIRLS interviewing Scott Plant of BROKEN PRAYER and vice versa, and a mini-scene report highlighting Icelandic punk with an accompanying interview with Reykjavik’s BÖRN. We also talked to Oslo’s DARK TIMES who just released an excellent new LP Give, Madrid’s ACCIDENTE, London’s QUANGO, and Vancouver’s VACANT STATE, and we caught up with Mallorca’s excellent Metadona label. Our intrepid contributors documented Toronto’s Not Dead Yet fest for our photo spread and interviewed Texan punks WICCANS in between packed gigs at the fest. All this plus book, movie, zine and demo reviews, all the columnist you love to hate (plus a couple new ones), and of course, the most extensive punk record review section in print. Get your copy today and support thee longest running, all volunteer, not-for-profit punk zine on the planet!
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.

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.
