The Carother's Bros., Ryan and Lee, are the two funniest writers in town. They are always right on the money when they decide to direct their sarcasm in somebodies direction, but almost always it's in fun. Unfortunately for Fargo the Carother's Bros. have decided to hang it up, or at least they say so. Ryan may contribute his wit and humor to the pages of Yahtzeen but that remains to be seen. Lee, well, I have no fucking clue what he is up to but knowing him I'm sure he'll keep busy doing something productively punk rock.

Bands...

1. 7 O'clock Sucker-4 guys who make up the best band and put on the best show, well they should, they've been playing the same songs for the past three years.
2. Bossk-starwars, distortion, and a cute guitar player.
3. Standard-Bossk minus the cute guy.
4. Sweethearts-The DC Talk of Punk Rock. Nasly voices and an obnoxious bass player.
5. Humdrum-an annoying guy named Frank and some peppy music that have the kids going wild.
6. VROOM!-beautiful, melancholic, intense, emocore!!!
7. Trans Am-four guys who defied the odds and played Cosmic Ark until their brain's froze.
8. Martian-bad singer, even uglier mohawks.
9. John Smith-growling, distortion, growling, distortion..oh, I'm repeating myself.
10. Superfly Snuka-is what Live would be if they didn't shower and rotated instruments.
11. Bombshell-when did this band go from okay to great???
12. Gecko-theater make-up and cover songs from a band that accused all other punk bands they couldn't write their own songs and were illiterate.
13. Skeeter-to clone am-rep bands is one thing, but to clone clones of am-rep bands is unthinkable.

Zines...

1. Yahtzeen-pretty girls, and enough major label schmoozing to make anyone vomit.
2. Chicken X-two guys who are destined to drive millions to the infamous "floating head" theory.
3. Peasant Boy-some shit that the kids going to regret saying one day, watch yer back, jerky.
4. Kate zine-You know I'd buy the stalker bit if they didn't have half-toned, scanned pictures to go along with the "broken typewriter" font.

9. Carother's Brothers-the zine that won't die!!! oh wait, forget it.

Venues...

1. Coffee Club-small, hot, and steamy, kind of like a strip club with double espresso's and artsy things.
2. The Via-Pool tables and a glowing Marlboro sign. nice place for shows if you can get past the rumbles between rival gangs.
3. The Bowler-Big & expensive.
4. The MSU Ballroom-more of the same.
5. The Elks-oh wait, they tore it down...and they complained that the "punk" shows were ruining it...geez.
6. Ralph's Bar-small, smelly, loud, and dark. what do you expect, it's a bar.

CD/record shops...

1. Disc & Tape-best place to go if you're willing to spend $15.00 on that new release.
2. the vinyl connection-the only place in town to carry vinyl, even if most of it is shitty.
3. Disc go round-RoxettE! Vanilla Ice!! Milli Vinilli! Tiffany!! USED! and under $3.00.

Labels and the like...

1. Meat Records-John Smith and a rumored Martian 7inch...does this sound credible?
2. Big Block-used to be Moo Bob when sub pop was the label, Now Big Block when Am-rep was cool, I'm guessing Jade changes the name to Morturary cause epitaph is the label.
3. City of Fargo-dedicated to good music and even better veggie subs.
