Outback Fanzine #5 and Exact Change 2019 Wrap-Up

With the Christmas holiday coming up, I can't help but wax nostalgic. A lot has happened this year to keep us busy. The Sound Of Commitment summer tour with Point Of Contact and Magnitude was a blast, the Diffuse demo was released, and the Exact Change adjacent Tampa-Core and Core Club produced more shows and releases than ever before.

Coming up in 2020 we have FYA Fest to start off the year, Point Of Contact tour plans more westward bound later on, and the highly-anticipated "Florida's Voice" compilation 7" record featuring Result Of Choice, Jackal, Final Say, Protocol and more. Details will be posted here once those records are available.

To gear up for the Florida hardcore to come in the future, I figured some might want to take some time to appreciate that from the past! Here we have Outback Fanzine #5 out of Melbourne, Florida. This was put out by Craig Chapman (găs'•o•lēne', Outback Records) and totals 44 pages, including the front and back cover. Interviews featured are with Anti-Racist Action, 7 Seconds, The Believers and Skin Shed.



Here is a full preview of The Believers interview, which is my personal favorite part of the zine!



These are super high quality .png scans, which is what I plan to work with moving forward for any other zines - so just make sure you have adequate space when downloading these!
