It’s funny to read an Australian zine that covers so much music from the US. This issue of 15^th Precinct alone has email interviews with Americans F-Minus, Anti-Flag, US Bombs, Devotchkas, and Ian Mackaye. The interviews are about as good as an email interview can be, and I certainly can’t blame them for not interviewing any of these musicians in person. But what I liked best about this zine was the coverage of Australian music. I liked this mostly because I didn’t know anything about it, and 15^th Precinct did a good job of interviewing bands, reviewing shows, and writing about scenes from all over Australia. It made me excited about Australian punk rock. It made me wish that I could go there. And, knowing I can’t afford to actually go there, reading 15^th Precinct made me wish that postage to and from Australia wasn’t so expensive so that I could purchase some of these zines and some of this music. Luckily, this issue came with a sampler of Down Under punk. Good stuff. –Sean Carswell (15^th Precinct, PO Box 1390, Capalaba, Qld 4157, Australia)
