Dave Mandel, from Woodland Hills (near L.A.), did this SxE fanzine.
Mel(anie) Gauthier briefly interviewed Dave in her zine Seen Not Heard #1. It was mainly (related to an MRR review of his second issue) about the male domination in the SxE scene and hardline (there were articles on it). The flyer of that also mentioned the bands ‘Strife’, ‘Mouthpiece’, ‘Lifeftime’, ‘Game Face’ & ‘World Trust’. The cover of #3 announced ‘Resurrection’, ‘Drift Again’, ‘Outspoken & ‘Four Walls Falling’. #4 (1992; the last?) – which I probably got from Vique ‘Simba’ Martin – contained interviews with ‘Undertow’, ‘Worlds Collide’, ‘Endpoint’ & New Age recs; plus some columns & reviews. There were also quite some pics in it (taken by Dave and others). He started as a punk photographer (later went on to do professional photo/video-work in the combat-sports industry). He also founded the label Indecision recs. (There’s an extive podcast out there about it for those interested…)
Vique mentioned in an interview in Simba #8 (’94) that Dave was also doing another zine named Can’t Forgive (emo ?)…
‘Endpoint’ was a HC band (sXe – emo) from Louisville, Kentucky. The interview was done with Duncan Barlow (guitar) & Rob Pennington (vocals); at the time when Curtis Mead (‘Split Lip’ bassist) and Kyle Crabtree (drums) had joined. Chad Castetter was the second guitarist.
