- Before our current social media era, magazines, ‘zines were among the most important platforms that circulated information on bands and scenes. The Rock Angelino scene had several magazines and ‘zines, with Al Borde being the publication that lasted the longest in continued published form. La Banda Elástica was the most critically acclaimed publication, and the coolest in terms of design. There were others of course: La Neta, a DIY ‘zine focused more on the rock urbano. Retila in the 1990s and Bazuca in the 2000s that were pocket zine publications. Y un titipuchal more. There were also a couple ska-focused ‘zines. As LÁ bands began to gain popularity and buzz, English-language publications also got in on the action. Here’s the 1999 cover of BAM magazine featuring Pastilla and it’s OG line-up with Víctor and Adrián Monroy, Eric Rubalcaba, and Heriberto González. In addition, the cover also lists the other the two members of the Rock Angelino 1990s trinity: María Fatal and Los Olvidados. Sadly, the southern California edition of BAM folded at the end of 1999. The cover signaled that the Rock Angelino boom was about to happen, anyday, anytime…y seguimos esperando. ????: @infanted Which other magazines, ‘zines do you remember? #bammagazine #pastilla #rockangelino #LosOlvidados #MariaFatal #1999 #rockarchivoLA
