Mongrel zine
Mongrel Zine is a print fanzine that features garage bands and underground artists. Each issue contains interviews, record reviews, drawings, and a CD compilation. It’s edited, designed, photocopied, folded, and stapled by Janelle Hollyrock and Bob Scott out of Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Beginning with Mongrel Zine #4, the zine is printed in a flipzine format with two different covers on each side with content meeting in the center, and includes a burned CD compilation of bands featured in the zine with many previously unreleased tracks.
Interviews and music reviews from past issues are posted online at Mongrel Zine after the subsequent new issue is released.
