When I visited Anderz Nielsen (Boston Tea Party label & ‘Misanthropic Charity’) in Kopenhagen in 1986, I got the fifth issue of this zine. It was in Danish and edited by Anja Bjerre & Henrik Lund (residing in Ry & Århus, Denmark). Besides doing her fanzine (in the 80s), Anja also contributed articles and interviews to other publications such as Maximum Rock’n’Roll. Henrik was the bassist of the band ‘The Zero Point’; he also contributed to Johnny Concrete’s No Århus zine.
The cover of this 5th issue (Sep. ’86) mentions it used to be called Ha! zine. It has info on the Basque bands ‘B.A.P.’ & ‘Kortatu’, and ‘Scraps’ (both in English); the rest is in Danish: interviews with Chris Chacon of Borderless Countires Tapes (a.k.a. Bad Compilation Tapes) & ‘Beneath Contempt‘ (a band from Copenhagen that labeled their music labeled “garage jazz” but was part of the punk-scene), scenereports from California & Amsterdam (with info on No Olympics), ‘Misanthropic Charity’ pics, reviews and more.

Henrik Lund is still active in Århus and works for a big newspaper…
Anderz Nielsen
‘B.A.P.!’ is an acronym for ‘Brigada Anti Polizialak’ (“anti-police brigade”) or ‘Babarruna ta Aza Popularra’ (“popular beans and cabbage”). They were a HardCore band from Euskadi, the Basque Country. They formed in 1984 in Andoáin (south of San Sebastian; in the Spanish province Guipúzcoa) and dissolved in 1996. The members were: Eneko Abrego (vocals), ‘Jomes’ (guitar), ‘Drake’ Xabier Olazabal (bass; early on he played guitar and Andres did bass) & ‘Txanpi’ Luis Javier Saiz (drums).
‘Kortatu’ was (1984-88) a ska-punk band from Irun (Guipúzcoa, Euskadi, Basque Country). The musicians at the time were Fermin Muguruza Ugarte (vocals/guitar), Iñigo Muguruza Ugarte (bass/vocals; R.I.P.), ‘Treku’ Javier Armendáriz (drums) & ‘Javi’ Javier Silgueiro (trumpet). ‘Kaki Arkarazo’ Ignacio Arcarazo Bariandiarán later joined as second guitarist.
