It’s never about the writer or person creating the journalism. It’s always about the subject, and I feel like that’s been lost.

P.I.G. – People Infected by Greed.
I don’t feel obligated to stand for femmes across the board. I believe each of us can do that for ourselves if we feel so compelled. I can be described as an angry woman, but I don’t speak for angry women, I speak for myself and hope it’s cathartic for others. Sometimes I wonder, “Who does my freedom free?” But I do what I do because I am compelled to, or I will perish; I don’t create under a plan of activist action. My truth is political because we live in a political world. You can’t be unpolitical, but you can be ignorant.
ALISON BRAUN – Archiving those we loved & lost.
It made me realize that scenes aren’t just built on sound, but on relationships, values, and shared experiences. Interviewing bands shifted them from being subjects in my frame to people with layered stories. I saw how much effort and sacrifice went into touring, recording, surviving — how much of it was done purely out of love for the music and the community.

The noise we make is based a lot on pain, hate, and resentment. A silent cry that does not stop but evolves, giving rise to a fight against the ego of each inconsequential being.
Shamon Cassette.
There’s no place for a black person in a white army.
My mom was a single-parent soldier and had me very young. I was raised in Kanagawa, Japan, just outside of Tokyo. I remember seeing her experience a lot for the first time growing up, even though her main push in raising me was to get off the base. I was a kid, a lone wolf, just going around to…

El ruido que hacemos reside mucho en el dolor, el odio y el rencor. Un grito silencioso que no se detiene si no que evoluciona, dando pie a una lucha contra el ego de cada ser inconsecuente.
PRISON AFFAIR. <ESP>
Realmente no hay ningún objetivo o mensaje claro detrás del Prison Affair. No es nada sesudo, más bien algo… Idiota.
LA PIZZA DEL ESTE LA // CHEF EMMANUEL “MANNY” VASQUEZ.
I wanted to use pizza as a platform and add fine dining Mexican food on top of it. I wanted to take the slice as a vessel and extend that to everyone in the neighborhoods – the day laborer, the kids from public school. It’s elevating the culture, merging a fine dining aspect with the reach of real communities.
MALA INFLUENCIA – PUNK POSTERS from BOGOTÁ! <ENG>
As a young girl, I was very disobedient; the rules didn’t apply to me. When I first heard punk, my head spun; the lyrics spoke to me of nonconformity, different from the music I heard daily on the radio in Colombia. In Bogotá, you hear vallenato, salsa, merengue… Which speak of love and heartbreak. Here… Continue reading MALA INFLUENCIA – PUNK POSTERS from BOGOTÁ! <ENG>
PLANET ON A CHAIN.
I do like that there isn’t pressure to come up with lyrics on the spot, as I would when playing in bands locally. I like to read about world events and how systems work, so the space lets my thoughts breathe and grasp of topics widen. I think my lyrical themes have been able to develop deeper, having creative isolation from everyone else. There have been times when every book I read lets me speak up about something different happening in the world.
