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.
