Artcore Fanzine

WELCOME TO THE ARTCORE FANZINE PAGE. HERE ARE A FEW FACTS YOU MAY NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU READ FURTHER:
ARTCORE IS NOT A "WEB-ZINE" AND NEVER WILL BE. IT IS SELF-PUBLISHED D.I.Y. FANZINE.
"WEB-ZINES" DO NOT EXIST AS SUCH. THEY ARE WEBSITES WITH A SIMILAR, BUT ELECTRONIC, CONTENT.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO READ ARTCORE, YOU WILL HAVE TO HOLD IT IN YOUR HANDS, AS IT'S CONTENT IS NOT "ON-LINE".
ARTCORE PROMOTES PUNK ROCK AND HARDCORE MUSIC, EVEN THOUGH THOSE TERMS SHOULD NEVER BE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.
FOR NOW, THE FANZINE IS A DIEING ARTFORM, BUT ARTCORE DOES NOT INTEND TO CONFORM TO THIS, OR ANY OTHER, TREND.
THIS PAGE IS IN CAPITALS BECAUSE WE ARE SHOUTING!!!

WITH THIS IN MIND, PLEASE READ ON...
