Simba zine started in 1992 as a traditional zine and morphed into one of the most popular and well-respected "emo" zines of the nineties hardcore/punk scene. This is a comprehensive collection of the personal and political writings from the seven years Simba zine was published, plus five years of columns and articles in HeartAttack, Fracture and Clamor Magazines. Also included are interviews conducted in the mid-nineties with Texas Is The Reason, Split Lip/Chamberlain, Dave Mandel (Indecision Records), Jeff Unger (Greyhouse), Jon Hiltz (Born Against/Greyhouse), Jordan Cooper (Revelation Records), Kim Kinakin (Sparkmarker), Leslie Kahan/Lisa Ogelsby (HeartAttack Fanzine) and Kim Nolan (Bark And Grass Cookbook). All personal writings are political and revolutionary in their own right. Challenging gender roles, rules and assumptions about sex and friendship and love, and never being scared of discussing something "too personal," these writings changed the way people thought and behaved. Always searching, always questioning and always punk, Simba crossed the boundaries between the hardcore and riot grrl scenes, and was undoubtedly one of the most influential zines of the nineties. Paperback: 266 pages, 5.5" x 8".

As an adolescent, Justin Pearson moved with his mother from “Shit Creek Phoenix, AZ” to sunny San Diego after his father was murdered on Halloween. There, he fell in with a subculture of young musicians playing some of the most original and brutal music in the world. Turns out the chaos of Pearson’s bands—The Locust, Swing Kids, and Some Girls—is nothing compared to the madness of his life. ….
In his new book, How To Lose Friends and Irritate People, Justin Pearson reveals his misadventures with two DJ duos borrowing him as a frontman, lending some “punk” street cred to their music. Known for being part of bands like The Locust, All Leather, and Retox, as well as the owner of Three One G Records, Justin has paved the way for bizarre, abrasive and political music, while pushing the envelope of what is expected or what can be done in a band. The Bloody Beetroots and Designer Drugs approached him to sing on their albums, and what came out of those two experiences is both pathetic and hilarious. From being forced to lip sync at Australian festivals in front of thousands, to being lost in the woods somewhere in Pennsylvania at a music video shoot gone wrong, Justin questions not only the DJ’s motives, but his own as well. Embracing actual musical instrumentation instead of laptop playlists, Justin trudges through the murky waters of musical capitalism.
How To Lose Friends and Irritate People is comprised of two stories, “Now I Will Make a Sound For You to Hear, A Sound Without My Mouth” and “A Sucker is Born Every Minute” separately bound in each own’s book, as well as a flexi record in each book featuring All Leather “We Eat Gauche Caviar” and Ill Saint M “A Pig’s Orphan” (featuring Justin Pearson). All parts bound together as one, creating more than just a book, but a collectors item, artifact, and maybe even an all around “fuck you” to Kindles and digital downloads.
