Look what has just arrived in the mail – the six issues, from no #04 to #09, of ‘Dog Eat Robot’ zine. And what’s that you ask? Well ‘Dog Eat Robot’ is a printed lil’ mag dedicated to the world of Psychobilly, Rockabilly and evil Rock’n’Roll music. It comes from Italy but thankfully, the guys making it, are kind enough to also print an English written edition of their mag. Unfortunately, the english edition starts from issue No #04 and on, so issues from #01 to #03 are only printed in Italian.
Dog Eat Robot is printed on glossy paper, in A5 size and all black n’ white or to be more precise ‘white lettering on black background’. Each issue contains very cool interviews with bands of the Psychobilly, Rockabilly genre, very few, selected album reviews, articles of the same interest and reports from European festivals. Furthermore, each issue’s front cover features a unique artwork by a famous artist (more info below). Dog Eat Robot is a very interesting ‘zine, specially if you are a fan of the genre – and if you’re not, this is a very good starting point in case you wanna discover new sounds.
Each issue costs 3,00€ and you can grab your copies by contacting them at: dogeatrobot@hotmail.it or at their facebook page here.
