Down and Out the writing is spot on. Sam doesn't fall back on any lazy 'punk' form like a lot of other zines, which seem to be free of any real literary effort and clearly no attempt at editing. Sam in contrast, obviously expends a lot of effort here, and reminds you that this is a written publication, with a focus on well.. the written word. A refreshing read, informed from an authentic outsider perspective on underground and abrasive music. Very high quality.
"Perth, WA was a cesspool and wading through the horrible stinkin toilet water of a compilation with the turds bobbing past your eyeballs as you hold your breath and try to stifle the ever rising vomit in the back of your throat you will be rewarded with some semen filled condoms and maybe even some flushed drugs along the way... eat it all up, taste the fear of Hate City"
