August 2006. Another month has come around, and with it, a new issue of the-punk-bible-I-mean-Maximum Rocknroll, this time featuring young Los Angeles punx MIKA MIKO on the cover and interviewed within. Also featured is an interview with the inimitable Mark E. Smith of English legends THE FALL by MRR columnist Allan McNaughton, as well as interviews with new St. Louis greats CARDIAC ARREST, Aussie rock’n’rollers DIGGER & THE PUSSYCATS. Swedish crusters MASSMORD, new French garage darlings THE FOUR SLICKS, mad Texan grinders INSECT WARFARE, Canadian punkers THE FALLOUT, and anarcho punx the PAWNS. On top of that, there is another anarcho history lesson from Lance Hahn, this time from DIY cult band the ASTRONAUTS. Also featured is two photo spreads, one with current bands and one with some of the the vastly underrated greats of the early ‘80s Canary Islands punk scene (FAMILIA REAL & ESCORBUTO CRONICO). Lastly, there is a written feature about the current, post-Katrina situation in New Orleans by Ammi from Emergency zine and Shelley from Chainbreaker zine. All of that, plus the usual columns, letters, tons of reviews that you have come to know and love, and scene reports from Umeå, Sweden as well as Tajikistan and Uzbekistan by longtime world punk supporter & MRR scene reporter Lük Haas.
