I will have these at the Damages house show today. If you want a copy then I'll have them set up with Damages merch. If you can't get one at the show then I'll have to mail it to you.
Ok, so here it is. The final issue package of At Both Ends with the double 7” is now on sale. One of the records is still at the plant so this will not ship until mid/late November. Pre-order now but don’t expect this to arrive for another 3 weeks or so. Hopefully in the next week there will be an actual webstore set up but there have been a few issues with integrating it with my Paypal account. For now just visit http://www.AtBothEndsMagazine.com, all the info is there.
Here are some answers to questions that have been asked.
-Where do I buy this?
Go to http://www.AtBothEndsMagazine.com and follow the instructions.
-What’s included in the package and what songs are on the records?
Included is one 148-page magazine/book that compiles two new issues worth of At Both Ends Magazine and two 7” records with songs from Bane, Grade, Unrestrained (Portland, Oregon) and Between Earth And Sky. Included in the magazine are articles and interviews with Bane, Sick of it All, Verse, Shook Ones, Bill Stevenson, Sparkmarker, Anchor, Shai Hulud, Greg Bennick, Devotion, Wait In Vain, To Kill and a bunch more stuff. This is about as packed as a zine can get. The magazine is perfect bound with glossy pages and colour covers. Printing is similar to a book and is higher quality than pretty much any commercial magazine you would find in a store.
Here’s the first review from Hanging Hex:
AT BOTH ENDS #9/10
Well, someone certainly has set the bar higher. I guess if you’re going to go out do it in a way that’s going to make everyone else attempting to publish something in print basically give up. The last two issues of At Both Ends (combined as one gigantic 150+ page zine), a long-running zine based out of Vancouver, really went all out here. This thing looks great (and features the ever hairy Timm Trust of The Helm on the cover!) and features butt loads of content. The interviews are pretty good and drill Verse, Sick Of It All, Shook Ones, Wait In Vain, To Kill, Shai Hulud, Greg Bennick, Anchor, and Dave Larson, among others. To me, the strong suit for this zine has always been all the other content- an exhaustive tour diary of Bane in South America, a retrospective on Sparkmarker and Brand New Unit, a roundtable zine discussion, random tales from various punkers about their favorite places to travel, the process of vinyl mastering, Canadian geography, cryptozoology, science fiction, indie filmmaking, and the city of Tacoma. Pretty random, but completely entertaining. Weak spots are the reviews as they are mostly brief and kind of dated. Otherwise, Steve has laid down an excellent final issue. Oh, did I mention this comes with a double 7” featuring new stuff from Bane, Grade (yeah... Grade), Unrestrained, and Between Earth and Sky? Crazy! (At Both Ends, http://www.atbothendsmagazine.com)
Track listing for the records:
Bane: Non-Negotiable / Struck Down By Me (re-recorded).
Grade: These Eyes Are On The Exits / Optical Portions.
Unrestrained: Immaculate Deception / Anak Krakatau.
Between Earth And Sky: Skin And Stone / Flow.
Are these the same Bane songs as on the other 7”s they are putting out?
These songs are exclusive to this release. The Bane songs are not found on any of the other 7”s they are releasing.
-Can I get just the records?
No.
-What colours are the records?
Order and find out. If you order three copies you will get all the colours pressed.
-Do you have any back issues?
Yes, I just found a box of Issue #8 so there are limited quantities of those for sale. I also have a zine from Germany Called The Heat which is really cool and worth picking up. There are some shirts for sale as well. If you’d like to pick up any of these items along with the Issue #9/10 package then please send an email to info@atbothendsmagazine.com for more information.
-Can I get this for my distro?
Yes! Please get in contact here: info@atbothendsmagazine.com
The more copies you order the lower the unit price.
Shipping info:
Each package weighs about 1.5 lbs / 650 grams each, this is not cheap to ship. If you live outside North America then the best suggestion is to buy a few copies of the package with your friends to bring the shipping cost down. For example, when shipping to outside North America the per-zine package cost goes down by about $10 when you order six copies versus just one copy. I wish shipping was cheaper but it’s out of my control. I will do my best to throw in a bunch of CDs, stickers, etc as a bonus with orders.
On top of this please allow extra time for delivery. I am storing these at a friend’s house in another city and don’t have immediate access for shipping. Due to conflicting schedules I can only get there every week or two.
