I’ve been really wanting to post some older zine-related content on the blog, but unfortunately my scanner situation is somewhat limiting at the moment. Luckily, I was able to find these pdf’s online for the first two issues of The Hive Fanzine, a Hayward based fanzine which existed between 1995 and 1997. The Hive was put together by three Hayward kids; Brian, Kevin and Steve (Kevin and Steve also played in the band, Hornet).
This is pretty much your standard cut and paste type of fanzine, nothing flashy or amazing, but it’s still pretty cool. The first issue featured interviews with Second Coming, Carbon, Hoods and Blood For Blood, the Second issue featured interviews with Downshift, Built To Last, Zero Bullshit and All Bets Off. As you may expect, there are plenty of pictures, scene reports and old show/record reviews as well. Unfortunately, The Hive only released two issues before calling it a day sometime in 1997. I’ve included the pdf’s for both issues within the same zip file, so do yourself a favor and check it out.
