KOWARD and GREEN BERET are heading west in support of KOWARD’s new EP DESPERATE on Side Two. Label mates COMBAT ZONE‘s LP is finally out along with SAVAGEHEAD’s debut EP on Twerp Records and FLACCID’s on Nothing Is Real. To navigate this incestual fuck-fest I highly recommend NEVER WAS TURNED HAS BEEN fanzine. A comprehensive guide to the New cropped-top Undergound!
