Martyrs and Motherfuckers, my old 'zine

17 years ago (the year 2000!) I did a 'zine called Martyrs and Motherfuckers. My friend Mark was kind enough to scan in the first issue for me, as I never kept one. I did three 'zines total; Blood on the Floor, Prick and the one you'll find below for your reading pleasure (I was also a regular contributor to Mark's 'zine Hello My Name Is) I cringe at some of it, but overall, I think it was a good 'zine.

No Reason, a pictorial history.

So, My friend Mark takes a lot of pictures. Thanks to him, here is literally a pictorial history of my old band, No Reason. I thought I'd post this, as I just created a bandcamp with all of our stuff available on it for free download. https://noreasonxxx.bandcamp.com/
