Maximum Rocknroll *355 (Dec 2012)

Interview with cover artist Avi Spivak, a split interview with Portland's RED DONS and the ESTRANGED; Sweden's AGRIMONIA, ANTIMELODIX from Russia, Puerto Rico's NAPOLNARIZ, LA ARMADA from the Dominican Republic, Peru's DHK, BREATHING LIGHT from Chicago, part two of the VICTIMS' European Tour Diary, and a Hamilton, Ontario scene report. "This month we talk to our Doomsday cover artist Avi Spivak and we have a split interview with Portland-based punks, the RED DONS and the ESTRANGED. We catch up with Sweden’s crust megaliths AGRIMONIA, and Russia’s hardcore punx ANTIMELODIX tell us their story and and explain love of Finland. NAPOLNARIZ talk about what it’s like growing up punk in Puerto Rico and LA ARMADA examine their experience of coming to the US from the Dominican Republic. Peru’s anarchia punks DHK tell us about their scene in Lima, while BREATHING LIGHT from Chicago discuss race, culture and what it’s like to be a punk of color within the punk scene and beyond. The VICTIMS take us on a trip in the second part of their European tour diary, and our scene report from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada sheds some light onto this active part of the Great White North. This, plus all the columnists you love to hate (and hate to love!) and the most extensive record reviews in punk!"
