That means taking the Good News of Jesus Christ where it belongs... out in the real world among they're at. We bring unconditional love to meet people where they're at. Jesus Christ is for everyone. Open your heart and read this magazine, talk to God and decide for yourself id there's anything missing in your life. Our prayers are with you. Best Fishes, Bill & Chris.

Elvis is DEAD, D.O.A., in a box, in the ground, at Graceland, in Tennessee. If you don't believe that, get a court order and have his rotting body exhumed and see for yourself. Elvis Presley is king of nothing. Jesus Christ is the King of Kings. Jesus is Gos, He died for you and He rose from the Dead. If you don't believe that, talk to Him yourself. He's waiting.

List of Christian Zines and Magazines

From a tract: Sanctuary Hollywood. Sundays at 1:15 pm

List of Christian Zines and Magazines
Most of the zines and magazines are from the late 1970s to the mid 90s, with some earlier ones in the very late 1960’s. People move, stop writing, etc. Most of these rags have been long gone; only a few have continued into the 2000s. HM is still going strong, but CCM will have its last paper issue in April, 2008. I am trying to list these zines because I wish to get more information from those who edited, wrote, supplied poetry, etc. I would like to get copies of issues that I do not have. If any one has any information, please email at baptist.buoy@google.com.

Afflicted (formally called Countersingn). Two pages, no number etc. Steve Christner, Charlotte, FL. From the first page: "I was coming home from a hard day at work and was thinking, my job is a good example of this dreaded Me generation. I'm not talking about little things like always wanting a bigger piece of pie so to speak, but verbaly cutting your 'friends' down just to get a promotion or look better in front of your boss. All of this goes back to the sinful nature and wanting more, more, we should put others first and serve. The Bible blatenly speaks against this in Philippians 2 vs 3. "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves." Easy enough right? Humility is such a big part of Christianity. Again we see in Luke 14 vs. 7 Jesus advised people not to rush for the best seats at the feast. This is what I'm trying to get at. How can we humble ourselves? Some people try to give the apperance of humility in order to manipulate others. Truly humble people compare themselves only with Christ, rwalize their own sinfulness and know their limits. humility is not self-degradation, it is a relationship with Christ. I think the people at work are going to have a hard time in the judgement seat. Pray for humility. Steve.

Against the Grain Sydney, Australia. Started in June 1988. About us: Mark Wilesmith has worked for the commercial radio station 2GB as well as community radio. He is a long-time closet crusader for alternative Christian music, and admits to "dancing around the lounge room to Bob Dylan's 'Saved.'" Suzanne Johnson is learning to juggle her uni course, radio and writing for 'Shout' magazine, a Christian youth magazine. She can be identified as the one wearing black, paisley, and a cross...

Issue 2: August 1988.
Page 2: A.T.G's aim is to present God through music by Christian artists that tends to heavy or alternative, because we believe that people should be able to listen to music in a form that they enjoy, but that still glorifies God. Not all Christians like David Meece and Amy Grant. Some like their music slow, some like it fast. We like it loud. Page 2 - 3: Some concerts August to September : Lighbeare, In the Silence, Red Rain, Heirforce, Larry Norman, Tony Williams, Daryl [?] Mansfield, Surprise, Steven Curtis Chapman, David Meece and Shiela Walsh.
Page 3: News - Bloodgood's new album 'Rock in a Hard Place' is due out round September, but it's bad news for the metalheads. They've followed Stryper's lead and gone wimp (ah, that's what they mean by a 'new approach to production will bring a more commercial sound to the band'...)
Page 4: NEWS.. In the Silence launch their first vinyl release entitled 'Things to Come' on August 20. After their stint at BlackStump ITS will be crossing the Tasman with Rosanna's Raiders and the Newsboys to play at NZ's 'Mainstage' festival. / This issue's 'Dropkick of the Month' award goes to the witch hunters who, having caused the postponement of the Steve Taylor tour, have laid into - of all people - sweet Amy Grant. It seems the title of her new album, 'Lead Me On,' is (gasp!) suggestive. Never mind thinking for a second what it could possibly mean in a Christian context, Amy has 'lost the anointing' ... seems more likely that some people have lost their marbles .... Really!
Page 5: Rage of the Road - Saturday July 9th 2NBC launched the secord 'Rage of the Age' concert with Priority Paid and Three Storey Men at Narwee Boys' High. It was great to see ragers from all areas of Sydney having a great time and supporting 2NBC as well. / Shout magazine... you've heard about it (because we write for it) but what is it, you ask. Well, it's a Christian youth magazine with the latest news and articles on bands, interviews, record reviews, plus a Christian perspective on a social issue or two.
Issue 3: October 1988.

Advance notice... Phil Keaggy and Randy Stonehill are due to paly in Sydney on Sat. Dec. 3... RUMORS... Amy Grant for the end of the year, Stryper or maybe Barren Cross or Bloodgood for '89. Not to mention the the 'artists to availability' for JAM 89 in January; at last count this includes Rick Cua, DeGarmo and Key, Leviticus and last years' quest winners In the Silence.
Page 4. Surprise's limited edition live cassette is quickly selling out. Recorded at Castle Hill and Narwee Boys' high schools, you can get it from PO Box 670, Lane Cove if you send... / A compilation of East Coast Metal has finally arrived in Australia, featuring Believer, Trytan, the Lead... check out Unlimited Discs at Beverly Hills. / Blackstump attracted about 5000 people over the long weekwnd. If you thought more have gone, JPUSA's Cornerstone only got 8000. Now, if you could see Amy, Charlie Peacock, Rez, Kim Hill, Da (to name but a few) where would you be???? / According to NZ/s Spamm magazine, the controversy over Steve Taylor's 'I Blew up the Clinic..' has prompted the Aust. record company to 'remove the offending song from the re-released 'I Predict 1990.' What? Since when ? And would Steve Taylor ever let it happen?? / Darrell Mansfield visited Sydney in September for a lowkey schools and unis tour that mixed an uncompromising message with barroom R&B and squealing harmonica. Playing bass was a Kendall Waller (remember Avion?). What's wrong with showing the devil getting stomped on? I don't know either, but Christian record stores in Sweden have boycotted Jerusalem's new album gor portraying it. If Satan can't get stomped on, how does Romans 16:20 fit? The Warning's new tape Cut the Crap is under way. Meanwhile you can hear their previous efforts on ATG - request it! REZ have formed their own record label, "Grrr," and are currently recording a new album called "Silence Screams."
Dropkick of the Month - This issue goes to the slammers at Surprise's Blackstump gig. Slamdancing is fine, as is headbanging, paisley dancing or what ever you happen to be into, but when the dancing gets too rough and peop;e nearby are getting hurt, there's something wrong. Dance however you like - but have respect for others, and consider this: would Jesus have hurt people dancing in his name?

Front page: picture of the band Lightforce. The Mouse Raps..."If you get a Christian metalhead into a discussion about what he waers, the response will usucally be that 1) he likes wearing the style; and 2) it allows them to witness to non-Christian metalheads. But what biblical basis can they give? (If you want a copy, go to the blog and I will send you to you). NEWS: David Zaffiro is putting out a solo album... called "Diversity." Shout album, "In Your Face." If you tgought it was bad enough trying to stay upright down the front at Stryper, or got moshed at the Mragastore, spare a thought for Melbourne's metalheads. The Stryper in-store at Metal for Melbourne was canceled after 2000 tirned up. Things got out of hand when a plate glass window broke and teo people got carted off to hospital. Bet Smallbone's relieved that his next chafge is Amy... First the good news: a new Christian thrash band calling themselves Redemptor are preparing to hit the Sydney pub scene. Bad news is that the lead screamer has to move to Qld, so if you think you can snarl with the best of them, and know the real master of the matel, ring Peter... Lightbearer are back, at least temporarily. They'll be palying a few gigs round town... From South Australia, P.E.W.K. have changed their name to Tranquility Smash... and Ookookachoo are headed for Synney (on crumbs, now I've got to ;earn to pronouce it)... From Perth: The Rockin' Rabbis have signed a distribution deal with Alpha and Omega for their 'Noisy Little Sunbeams' cassette, which they claim is a mix of metal, punk, thrash and blues... New bands in Perth: Reverend's Revenge, the Quick and the Dead, and It.

Front page top is an explanation of why the paper was four months in the making. Bottom half of the page has advertisements for ACME shirts – black on white ($7.50) and stickers, 10 for $1.00. Page 2 is an interview with Mike Stand of the Altar Boys: ACME Talks to Mike Stand… (part 1 of the interview. Misspellings have been changed)… Mike Stand, Rick Alba, and Jeff Crandall are the Alter Boys. They are one of my favorite bands. Mike acts like Bruce Springsteen sometimes when he is on stage. They have a new album on Broken Records called “When You’re a Rebel.” It’s a really good record.. It has a really good sound to it, great guitars and lots of the. Bill Batstone, aka B.B. Stone did a good job on production. It is loaded with good songs like, ‘Calling out to Believers,” “More of You,” “God’s Heart Cries” and the title cut. It’s somewhat like the Ramones should sound if they were a little smarter and a little more into God. They are great live. They were really good at Cornerstone where they were moved to the indoor stage because the roof collapsed on the other one. They played to a packed house, and when it was over everyone was very hot and slightly ill; especially Mike Stand…
Why the Altar Boys?
We started three years ago because we saw a need in California for bands to reach out. New wave was really at its peak right about then, when we first started out. Punk was kind of on its way out a little bit but still pretty much in. We saw a need for a band to reach out to the kids and that’s why we started it. There was a need there and God called us. We weren’t sure exactly what the Lord was going to do; how he was going to use the band at all. But, we found he really blessed us and, the ministry continues to grow through his graciousness.
When You’re a Rebel…
We are excited about the record. It’s a little more, how can I say this it’s a little more polished and a little more and a little more raw. It’s more us, we feel, than the first one. We were trying to find ourselves and what our direction really was. When we made the first one, we were still trying to figure out what we were doing. We’d been a band just about a year, and it really wasn’t long enough to figure it out. But, this time we knew what we wanted, and we went for it. I think we got really, really close with what we got. And, some of it went even beyond what we ever thought we could get to.
Plans and stuff
Let’s see, we got the third album just about written, and we are performing about four songs from it. You only heard one yesterday, “Unconditional Love.” Of course, we didn’t write that one. I really have a goal to finish the third album in a month or two, and, Lord willing, start recording it in November, only if God wants us to. I think we’re going to start a video, probably “When You’re a Rebel,” in a month or two. They’re going to write the script for it and stuff.
Influences
I’ve always been a fan of the sixties more than the seventies. I was always so frustrated in the middle seventies because I could never play any of that stuff – Boston, Kansas, Genesis; I just couldn’t do it. It was very frustrating for me. So, when I was growing up in the sixties that’s pretty much what my influences were. Right now, I listen to Springsteen sometimes, the Clash, the Ramones sometimes. Musically, those guys probably influenced me.
Another Altar Boy?
One of the things we’d like to find is another person, but the Lord hasn’t shown us that yet. We’ve been doing O.K. as three. But, Lord willing, we’ll find another guy who will really just groove right in with the band and not try to change things around or be weird.

Altar Boys: Acme Talks to Mike Stand. Part Two of the Interview
Friends or Foes?
We’re pretty good ‘buds’. We talk to each other every day on the phone. We’re pretty close. We very rarely argue, and if one guy is feeling kind of bummed or kind of out there or a little bit touchy, we just lay off and leave him alone. We get along good. You’ve got to or you don’t survive. You won’t do it. You won’t make it. That’s one thing Satan wants to do; get in there and twist and divide the bands up and really cause confusion, so that his goals are accomplished. We don’t try to give him any opportunities.
The Third Album?
Let’s see, we got the third just about written, and we’re performing about four songs from it. You only heard one yesterday, “Unconditional Love.” Of course, we didn’t write that one. I think we’re gonna start a video, probably “When You’re a rebel.” We’d really like to make it, I hate to say production, but a better production, with a little more thought behind it than we have. We’d like to be able to really focus in to where the audience is at. Instead of just saying ‘This song’s about such and such’, I really want to be able to take people from this point to that point. Like I said, we do it somewhat, but I’d like to do it better.
Goals?
We’d like to just be able to communicate a lot better the gospel on stage. Communication is the key. I mean, every second you are on stage, every minute you are on stage has really to communication something. There’s no time for wasted time. And we still haven’t fine-tuned our ministry the way we want to do it. We’d like to be able to put three or four sets together of different songs; different ways of approaching the audience.
Plans?
We’d like to get out here more to the East Coast and play; more than just this one shot festival thing. We’d like to come out here for five days, a week, two weeks, whatever and just play our brains out. We see a need out here, we really do. A lot of kids we talked to today just say, ‘There’s nothing like you guys our here.’ We’d like to be here a lot more. But, I say that in a reluctant way because I see the need and we’d like to get out but, at the same time, I hate leaving my wife. It bums me out – being away from home and stuff. But, I’ll go if the Lord wants me to. It’s nothing I’ll really push, but we’ll knock on some doors and stuff.
