Magnitude Fanzine - Issue #1

I'm happy to be hosting the digital release of Magnitude Fanzine #1. This zine was organized by my good friend Matt Kalbaugh. A few previews shots are below, but the full high-quality .pdf can be downloaded here. Here's the scoop on this publication:

"After months of procrastinating and attempting to put this together with no prior knowledge of zine making, numerous failed attempts at Office Depot have led me to release the first (and probably only) issue of Magnitude via the power of the internet. Contains interviews with STEP FOR CHANGE (CA), ECOSTRIKE (FL) and REFOCUS (NC), as well as record reviews and a couple little essays. Enjoy!" - Matt K.

DC's MISLED YOUTH and IRON CAGES come to Florida!

To end of the year, Sick Of Talk will be playing at The Bunker in Ybor with two bands visiting from Washington, D.C., Misled Youth and Iron Cages on Friday December 30th. With Transitions Art Gallery closing it's doors over the summer, Tampa has been in a dire search of a new regular punk and hardcore venue. The Bunker has hosted a few shows so far and all have gone well, so come out and make this one even better than the rest! There is still room for one more band to hop on in the next day or so, leave a comment or shoot me an email if you are interested.

North Carolina's SUBSTANCE comes to Florida!

Apologies for the lack of updates on the blog. It has been a hectic two months, as Exact Change has hit the road in January on the Sick Of Talk 2016 Winter Tour as well as in February on the Hit List/Crisis Unit East Coast Tour. Thanks for everyone who came and saw any of the bands and picked up an ECR release, more Hit List live tapes will be available in the store very soon.

In April, Substance from NC will be coming down and playing through FL for a weekend. Check out the St. Pete show if you are in the area, or see the bottom flyer for information on the whole weekend. See you at the shows!

Exact Change Radio Now Thursdays 4 - 5 PM EST

We moved - one last time! Exact Change Radio will now be every Thursday from 4 to 5 PM EST on bullsradio.org. Be sure to listen in tomorrow, 8/27/2015, as we are doing a HUGE trivia and giveaway.

Every 15 minutes we'll present a trivia question and an opportunity to win one of five prizes. If no one calls or no one gets the answer correct - the prizes will roll over into the next round! So you have the potential to win FOUR prizes by listening and calling in. The number for the studio is (813) 974 - 9285.

Looking forward to an awesome kick-off broadcast and even better final semester. E C R

Summer of Exact Change

Summer is officially here, and Exact Change Radio is still continuing every Wednesday 6 - 7 PM EST. There will be shows all summer unless otherwise noted on the air or on this blog. The first two shows have already taken place and can be heard here and here. On the show this week, I'll be focusing on one of my long time favorite punk bands, the Ramones. Be sure to tune in to hear more Ramones tracks than usual.

If you want to check out the Exact Change available releases, discuss having your band play live in the studio, or if you just want to come say hi, ECR will have a table set up at this show next week. See you at the first official HC summer gig!

One More Week of Hiatus & Searchin For The Light

 

Radio shows will resume when the semester starts. Showtime will be changing from 6 - 7 PM on Thursdays to sometime on either a Monday or Wednesday... new time will be announced as soon as it's confirmed. Meanwhile, here at HQ, we're working on getting the UNIFIED RIGHT live tape out before the end of January. We also did some helping out with this fanzine...

Brandon Brandt from St. Pete put out this skateboarding and music fanzine called Searchin' for the Light for FYA Fest last week. If you didn't nab a copy then, now is your chance to read the scans online. Featuring interviews with Ned of Title Fight, Soft Hoagie Rolls, Joshua Lother and Sick of Talk (which I play guitar for and will soon have a release on ECR). Get the scans here.
