Pogo via 1995/1996 - The Year Punk Broke by Tun Farul Azri

Otai Makan Petai by Apaisan

The editor missed the dateline and had to release this issue a bit late due to some personal issues. Fukking hell! He already release few issues in span of few months. That is already an achievement.

Comic strip on Kibota was fun, the character used as the icon for this zine as well in his blog. The origin of this characterstarted in #2.5.

The rest, as good as always.

This is 'mini issue', special release for Kuala Lumpur Zine Fest. You will have the usual interviews & reviews (some made by a writer and they are rated), you will also have poem, comics, articles (one is on a band called Misgive) are among the stuff you will get in #2.5.

The full page review/article on Pedal To The Metal was nice. I bought few issues.

The second issue released after a few months. Pyan already mentioned the next issue will feature more reviews and he kept his word. This is one is thicker than the debut issue. The layout, etc is the same style like the previous issue.

'Diskusi Dua Hala' @ Split interview with Pig-Krust & Bakteria. Before the start of this section, there is a one page info on 'Alcoholic CrocoCrust' split CDR featuring both bands released by Blazt Promotion (label run by Pyan).

You see The Bollocks twice up there. There are 2 separated interviews. This issue starts with the interview made by Pyan and ended with the one done by Trashnoiser.

There is a page on 'testimoni' from the readers for the debut issue which sparks his interest to continue with more Bangkit! in the future.

Article

"HC Punk Dalam Hidup Ku!" by Benny Pangazou

A well-done debut issue. Entirely done in Malay with nice layout. 2 column per page, with page numbers, table of contents and clear laser printing quality.

The editor of this project is Pyan Nathias. Yes, you guess it right. He's the editor of the kvlt Malaysian Metal zine, Nathias. In this project he feature mostly HC Punk scene; the bands, the news section, and also the reviews of music stuffs and also on zines.

He featured Carburator Dung interview in this issue which originally featured in Nathias #2 (1994). The whole interview is in English as it were featured originally and this is the only English section in the zine. Very lenghty answer from Joe Kidd to short questions by Pyan. He put some remarks at the beginning and the end of this section. There are also some interviews previously featured in his blog; Up The Punx

On the reviews, the reviews are from Pyan and other contributors. In music section, the reviews are not rated and most of it have the actual pictures of the stuffs being reviewed. Which mean you can the sleeve and tapes or CDs of the stuff being reviewed. The same goes to the zine reviews. And both are also not alphabetically arranged.

HC Punk, etc is not my thing. I am not into this scene. However reading this zine do enlightened me on the bands & zine in this zine. Print run not stated. I believe this issue is still available for sale.
