Jagged Visions Zine #3

The theme of the third issue of Jagged Visions Zine is Japan. There are several interviews and articles about Japanese hardcore punk and noize. An article about legendary noize group Hijokaidan and their 30th year anniversary gig in Osaka that I saw. I also wrote pieces about the controversial punk bands GISM and The Stalin, who caused a lot of havoc in the eighties. Next to the past I also wrote reviews about my favorite Japanese bands of these days.There are three interviews with Japanese bands. Tone Deaf, trash hardcore punk from Osaka, singer Ryo talks about his band and his job as a social worker for mentally ill people. Cosmic Neurose, mix between Out Cold, Youth of Today and The Doors, about zoocore, hikikomori and karaoke. Slang from Sapporo, hardcore band that started in 1988, singer KO talks about the then upcoming US tour, child abuse and North Korea.
