On this week’s MRR Radio, Zu From All Over celebrates the NEW GREATEST MUSIC SCENES IN THE WORLD!!! Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Columbus OHIO, with the best Weirdo Punk, Hardcore, and Tap-y Midwest Emo to usher in this new utopia of creativity and explosive influence.
I’m so pleased to have written a scene report for Maximum Rocknroll about our punk scene here in Falmouth and Penryn. It really meant a lot to put this together.
Thanks so much to Alex Howell for his editing and to everyone who contributed. Link in bio.

Paul Curran (Crimpshrine, MaximumRocknRoll), Rob Coons (Photographer), me (Decline Magazine, Art) gathered for Anna Brown’s book talk and slides last week at Green Apple. I told my GBH stage dive story, and a few others. Plus, as part of the Q&A session Rob had these great comments: “… obvious in my work that Murray is my number one influence” …and “Not looking in the view finder … allows you to see everything around you .” … “I wasn’t like ‘I want to emulate Murray’ but subconsciously I was taking photos like Murray; Tight crops, catching action … based on Murray.” …
Fun evening. Great to hang out with these folks. See previous post and photos.
