Valley of the Scum #3 Preview

A quick peek at the latest issue

Valley of the Scum Issue #3

Valley of the Scum is a local zine based in East Mesa. We provide coverage of the local Rock'n'Roll music scene here. Punk, Garage, Rockabilly, Psychobilly, Rock'n'Roll, anything you want. If you're a local band, that can't get coverage from The New Times or any of the other non-existent music press ... holler at us! We don't care how cool you look, how many 'roadies' you have, or who did you hair. We want to Rock'n'Roll. Bop and shout. Plain and simple. Move us and we'll move you. In the pants. Mesa! Tempe! Phoenix! Scottsdale! Glendale! Peoria! Even Apache Junction! If you're in the local Metro-Phoenix area, hit up Valley of the Scum Zine if you want your band's album reviewed, or have some local punk rock news!

What's quickly turning out to be, one of the most amusing sections in Valley of the Scum is the letters section. This month we got quite a few angry letters from local self-proclaimed, "Psychos", which will have you in stitches. No pun intended.

This month we review: DSC (Drug Store Cowboys), Slut Sister, Manual Sex Drive, The Lesser Saints (formerly The Numptys), Stitch Hopeless & The Sea Legs, and Sawyer Family.

Kevin Daly, the brains behind local powerhouse, Grave Danger sits down with us and lays it all out. From drunken orange fights with T.S.O.L., to touring in a Cadillac Ambulence with a keg, and even getting banned from The Marquee Theater, nothing is off limits. Kevin has seen a whole lot of shit go down, in 20 plus years of playing in the Valley culminating in an interview, that you shouldn't fucking miss.

Slime & The Boobytramps are one of the most unique bands playing around Phoenix. Being the true underdogs that they are, we just had to take a closer look at this band! They're rockin' all over town to a very different beat; you'll see what we mean.

A group that has seemingly come out of nowhere, The Naughty Things are working their way up the ranks of the Valley's hottest bands. We had a few beers and a shit load of laughs with Spaz & Kate. What transpired is beyond description; neo-nazi drummers, a name change, local scumbags, and tons of frustration come together to make up an interview unlike any other before.

Plus we've got articles on everything from Father's Day to Ray Finkle! You've got to read it, to get how bat shit insane we really are! It's online and ready to read at www.myspace.com/valleyofthescum

3 new songs up for streaming, band was previously known as CAGEMATCH. Still and perhaps more heavy and crushing as before. Bang your heads.
