"MOUNTZA #1, $4.50, 8½” x 11”, offset, 56 pgs.
Clean, nice layout with plenty of white space ala Last Hours or what I remember early issues of Punk Planet looking like. I really want to write “It’s all Greek to me,” but only about half of the stuff here is. Definitely rooted in the harder end of the spectrum—features interviews with Hewhocorrupts, Regulations, Felix Von Havoc, Zann, Fucked Up and more. Also has the “standard zine fare”: columns, a tour report, record and show reviews, etc. Even discounting the fact that I can’t make out half of the material and some of the stuff in English suffers from slightly spotty translations, I’d say that Mountza’s on to something. Between the consistency of their coverage and the rock-solid layout, I’d say this is probably one of the best first issues of a music-based zine I’ve ever seen. Let’s hope they stick around. – Keith Rosson"

By Matt Average
I feel like the winner of some multi-million dollar lottery when I get a copy of Mountza for review. This issue retains the high quality production values, and is now perfect bound. Inside are interviews with Criminal Damage, Clorox Girls, Hibernation, Get Rad, Annihilation Time, New Mexican Disaster Squad, Hate Records, and Viral Graphics. Then there are the columns (in Greek), a mix tape article (written in Greek, but band names in English), and entertaining observance of the Neurotic Deathfest from Pascal Cretain, an Anti-Mond tour report, and a new section, “Art & Disorderly.” A lot of reading. Opinionated and interesting."
