REVIEWS AND FEEDBACK
Okay, here we go with a few of the luvverrly comments other people have said about my humble publication. Awww shucks, thanks sweeties!
"A hefty issue with everyone from the Space Age Playboys to Alice Cooper, the Yo-Yo's to Rachel Stamp, and the Backyard Babies to Bauhaus. If you're into the sleazier side of rock music, then this'll keep ya happy for days. You'll probably also get to find out about some bands you've never heard of before - and might hear about again." - Metal Hammer review of Issue #4 "Highly recommended for it's goth-glam-sleaze cortex" - Mick Mercer's Hex Files (The Goth Bible) "Oooh, it's like 1989 all over again! Featuring acts like Quireboys, Tyla and Tigertailz (and more contemporary interviews with the Wildhearts and Skid Row), Vagabond Hearts is something of a nostalgia fest, but is nevertheless a lively read, largely due to Karen's intelligent interviews and undeniable skills as a writer and editor. Pass the Thunderbird!" - Metal Hammer review of Issue #2 "Buy it ...'cos I'm in it - I'm on the cover!" - Tyla "ALF ZINE OF THE ISSUE - Brilliant new zine based around Glam and Sleeze and gothic rock. Interviews with the likes of The Quireboys, The Vamps even All Living Fear as well as features on Marc Bolan, Phantasm and very detailed demo and record reviews." - The Sound Of Music fanzine review "A bumper glam, sleaze, goth, rock fanzine." - Body Talk review (Poison fanzine) " ... full of gutter sleaze like Tyla and The Quireboys .... exclusive interviews too." - Black Velvet fanzine review "... this forms a comprehensive guide to both the underground 'hairspray & lipstick' and the mainstream rock scene. Featuring interviews, reviews, pix and contacts this publication is both detailed and fun! Vagabond Hearts is well thought out, stuck unashamedly in the eighties,easy to read and includes a Goth section to remind you of where your roots are!" - Black Logic fanzine review
