SO NAILS#4 review in MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #327



I usually don't like tooting my own horn, but this is pretty cool to me.So Nails #4 received a very righteous review by Layla Gibbon in the newest issue of Maximum Rock n' Roll. Also So Nails was in the top ten of the month, next to some really great zines like Distort, Modern Hate Vibe, Seven Inches to Freedom and the hilarious comic romp of Henry and Glenn Forever! For me, being reviewed so positively and next to so many well-written focused zines, it's sets a mark that I want to try and hit with every future issue. Plus, I've got a strong feeling of validation from this...So Nails is something that I try to put a lot of work and time into, so it's an honor to even be noticed, especially since So Nails (and zines in general) seem,to me at least, to be such a non-entity here in Honolulu.

SO NAILS#5 coming soon! Lots of interviews, features, rants and reviews plus some adjustments to the design and printing that will make it look just a bit sharper. Just need to get the funds to print it and mail it out. Also, I've already begun the preliminary stages of issue 6 and if I get all the interviews I wanna do, it should great issue.
