Sound The Alarm (Fanzine) D.I.Y fanzine from Little Rock, AR S.T.A. Believe it or not, Little Rock, Arkansas has a rich history of punk rock. From there, the LR scene went national.

Looks at the importance of local scenes focusing on the roots of the punk music scene of Little Rock, Arkansas as well as focusing on the power of the independent artist. Beginning in the late 1980s, punk kids in this small southern town began to find each other. High school kids began to build a musical community without the blessing of the mainstream music industry. Bands were formed, record lab

els were made, and fanzines were written. Virtually all were being managed by high school kids. Towncraft was a little rock punk compilation released in August of 1993 on File 13 Records and featured the most prominent bands of that summer. It saw great reviews in some of the biggest underground magazines in the country. Perhaps what is just as remarkable as the early LR punk scene is what grew out of it. The music began to spread to different genres. Max Recordings is one of the record labels that grew out of this. Owned and operated by Burt Taggart, [Chino Horde, The Big Cats] it still works to document the music coming out of Little Rock. To this day, nothing seems to compare to the art being created on a local level. Take a listen.

Hey people,
Sorry for the absence! Issue #1 is inching closer and closer to completion. For some reason, I've failed to announce that I had the absolute honor of interviewing Andy Conrad a few weeks back. Andy participated in seminal Little Rock bands like The Numbskulz and Smoke Up Johnny. What a guy! My plan is to include his interview in issue #2. Thank you all for your support and patience. The debut issue is coming soon!

Hey everyone! Due to a laptop malfunction a couple weeks back, my progress on issue #1 has been slowed to a crawl. Mostly because much of the layouts I had saved on the laptop were lost. However, I thoroughly enjoy working on this and will keep at it! Since there's been no taste of issue #1 as of yet, I've decided to share part of the intro to my interview with Bobby Matthews from Trusty. enjoy!

"There are no more races to be run
There are no numbers left to be won
Everybody's down we pulled each other down
There never was a truth to be found
We are all bigots so full of hatred
We release our poisons
There are no more cultures left to slide
There are no more people to be tried
We're in our minds five billion pieces so defined
Read it in a book, it was underlined
We are all bigots so full of hatred
We release our poisons like styrofoam"

"I want to participate.
There are points to which I've made it.
I turn around, and I am hated.
What have I done to cause all this pain?
They're burning up into chaotic state.
I try to realize, I try to realize my crime.
Who is right or wrong?
No need to criticize.
I try to exercise the rights
that everyone deserves.

Does anyone even care?
Sometimes I wonder if I were to let it all go, who would notice? Who would know?
Now I am despised to the point where it is publicized to keep me in fear.
I want to participate, I try to anticipate.
Does anyone even care? I am afraid, I am not afraid.
I want to take action.
I want a reaction.
But tell me who really cares? I really care.
I just want to trust. I just want to be trusted.
I just want to live. I just want to fu***ng live."
