No Answers was a 'zine that I started long before Ebullition and HeartattaCk. I started work on No Answers in 1983. The first issue finally came out in February of 1985. I did four issues while living in Twin Falls, Idaho. I moved to Goleta, California in 1986 and continued the 'zine from there.
The first Ebullition release (the Downcast 7") came together with issue #9 of No Answers.
Issue # 10 of No Answers is still available. It is forty-eight pages long and is printed on a nice white stock with great photo quality. This was the last full issue of No Answers that was ever released. This issue features an 11 page interview with Born Against that includes 10 photos of Born Against, an 8 page interview with Amenity and 8 Amenity photos, interviews with Suckerpunch, and photos of such bands as Nausea, Filth, Spitboy, Sawhorse, Head First, Verbal Assault, Life But How To Live It, and Downcast.
The first 3,000 copies included the Born Against/Suckerpunch split flexi. The reprinted press run, which is what is available now, does not come with the split flexi.
No Answers #10.5 is now sold out. This was a half sized 'zine that was much more personal, and it certainly was not anything like any of the other issues. I did this issue mostly just to do something different.
I am looking into putting together a 400 page book that would reprint all of the No Answers material along with some extra commentary and photos. This is a major project and I have just recently started to look into printing options. I would like to finish this project before the end of the decade (2010).
