Check out The Banned from New York City at www.thebanned.net.They are playing at Texas Blues, Friday Jan. 4th.

It seems to me that the punk scene in Longview is coming to a grinding halt...and what's the point of bringing good traveling punk bands to Longview if less than a handful of people come out to support them? These bands are on the road looking to play to as many kids as possible, or at least an energetic and interested crowd.We do have a variety of punk bands coming through and noone's gonna like all of them,but if noone in Longview enjoys seeing punk shows and meeting people from other places with common interests,then it's not worth it for the bands to waste a night in our town.We've got a couple of good shows coming up at Texas Blues, and I hope you will come out to have some fun,support PUNK ROCK in Longview and get away from the monotonous drill of daily life in Wrongview.

There is a new web site in town for local hardcore happenings.Check it out and support it!!..LEMON CHIFFON

RAZORCAKE#5 is out and you can get a copy for a measly 3 bucks from RowdyRogerJr@aol.com.This zine is kick-ass,and they go quick-so take my advice and get yours while you can.
