Grindstone is a zine for the rockabilly/ urban redneck set. This issue has interviews with Hank Williams III, The Domino Kings, Cave Catt Sammy, and a bunch of other names you may not know, but you’d recognize by their pompadours and tattoos. It’s mostly interviews and reviews and hip-retro ads, but at the back is a really cool article that explores the past and present of Chicano Rock. Grindstone is worth the $3.50 on the merit of that article alone. Otherwise, it’s a well-constructed and well-written zine, but I guess because I’ve never dipped a comb in pomade and my girlfriend looks nothing like Betty Page, I felt a little out of place in the pages of this zine. Not that there’s anything wrong with that… –Sean (Grindstone, 11288 Ventura Blvd. #450, Studio City, CA91604)
