HeartattaCk Zine (1994-2006)

My HeartattaCk collection

    HeartattaCk was a zine run by Kent McClard and the legendary Ebullition records crew from 1994-2006, over a span of 50 issues. It was originally created to be a counterpart to MRR (Maximum Rock & Roll); one that only reviews D.I.Y records without a UPC barcode. HeartattaCk was a number of things; a place to find interviews with bands and activists, record/zine reviews, columns, pictures, political discussions and information about the 90s HC scene. As it stands, HeartattaCk is the missing link for information and context about bands, the scene and the general atmosphere of hardcore culture in the 90s. It really is a goldmine and an important resource to anyone looking to learn more about D.I.Y hardcore. 

    It's a damn shame that there are few comprehensive archives like the HeartattaCk archive. I feel that, just like the music, a lot of the important HC zines of the 90s have been all but lost to time. If you happen to have a mound of zines rotting in your attic from the good old days; I beg you to scan them and post them online. Don't let these incredible moments in punk history be forgotten.
