TILT # 8

TILT was a Belgian zine that was done in the 90ies by a guy called Brob who, besides doing TILT was active in the Smurf Punks Collective too. those collective booked the shows for the Vort´n´Vis way back when! TILT was a 78 pages thick D.I.Y. zine, written in English with had not only band interviews, record & show reviews - it always had a lot of political stuff too which was/is my main point of critisism! if I want to educate myself about political subjects I´ll read a book! period! I don´t need some zine guy to shove his political views down my throat and/or tries to bore me to death with fill-in-whatever-discussion-you´ve-heared-countless-times before! I got quite some TILT zines as I always liked the zine somehow but decided to start with # 8 cause of the VOORHEES interview in it! in case you don´t know: VOORHEES rule! other featured bands are ACME, FABRIC, GRAUE ZELLEN and other.

Because of what I read off the other blog where this interview has been taken off and what was said before the scans. I was expecting this interview to show the interviewer in a very bad light.

I was completely wrong. In my view Voorhees and co and are a disgrace and the 1 in 12 Club in particular should hang their heads in shame for promoting this male macho bootboy drivel.

...I feel like Mary Whitehouse.

Punk zine without political subjects? That's pretty weird. What's the sense in punk then?)) Being just another consumer with different music taste? That's boring. Fortunately most punk zine-makers understand that and share this point of view.
