REVIEWS
The editor writes about assimilation, national cultural identity, and punk. It made me think about how much of this zine is taken from the internet, especially the international anarchist news/protest reports. Lots of publications (including MRR) do this, but I felt it made Free Society more generic. There is a lot of other writing too - it's a big zine with no ads - but even the local stuff wasn't so hot. A bunch of shows are reviewed, but there's no life to this writing at all. Nor was I impressed by Stuart's tales of his paying work or his "crazy dreams." He invests three pages in writing about his town, which was the highlight for me. Interviewed are two guys from Amebix and Brian ex-Catharsis. Brian's talk is from his band's European tour three years ago (Stuart got it off the internet); any Amebix interview is good with me but, that said, this one was ordinary at best. I hope the next issue is 16 pages, tighter, and more exciting. - Jeff Mason - Maximum Rock 'n' Roll #256, Sept 2004.
