In 1991, Bullethead Records put out a 7″ by Strongbox. I always thought they were underrated in the local scene. Live they were aggro without being extremely heavy, and put on one of the cheapest but most effective light shows I’ve seen. The record always sounded a bit more laid back and jammy to me, so it didn’t really capture the live feel, but listening to it now, it really holds up well.

Tiny Art Director
Bill Zeman is an artist. His daughter is the Tiny Art Director. She tells him what to draw, he draws it, and she critiques it. More often than not, she is not pleased. She only occasionally destroys the artwork, which I guess must be sort of good for Bill’s ego.

Axe Cop
Ethan Nicolle is a 29 year old comic artist/author. Malachai Nicolle is his 5 year old brother. Together, they produce Axe Cop. Malachai writes the stories, and Ethan illustrates them. If you’ve ever spent much time with or as a 5 year old boy, you already know where this will lead. If not, I will tell you, it leads to the most awesome comic book ever written.
