https://thehardcoreoverdogs.blogspot.com/p/90s-underground-hardcore-techno.html-Send us ideas, thoughts, suggestionsIs there a topic we haven't covered yet? A Hardcore curiosity? A political or cultural connection we did not make yet?
Maybe some over-looked artist or that label that has not gotten our spotlight yet?
Send us all your suggestions!
-Send us your features and articlesOr maybe you've already gone beyond the suggestive phase, and have written a feature or article, a piece of news, a cultural analysis by yourself, that might be suitable for our magazine!
Please submit it then. You can look at the previously published texts of our zine, to see what kind of content and stuff we prefer.
Rules:Generally, we can't publish *everything* that people submit - we are not an information or audio dumb!
So we retain the right to refrain from putting a submission online - with or without further explanation.
Please don't complain if this happens!
More specifically:
1. As mentioned, T.H.C.O.D. is generally about the more overlooked, underrated aspects of the Hardcore culture.
Because of this, genres like Mainstyle, Uptempo, Frenchcore, etc etc. are not eligible for the magazine.
So ask yourself: has the object (artist, label topic...) that I want to submit been already extensively covered elsewhere (for example social media or other publications).
If this is the case, it probably has its proper place rather at that location, and not in our magazine.
The more obscure and out-there your thing is, the better!
2. We don't like Nazis or right-wing people, so if you want to submit stuff like that, then do not submit it.
3. There might be other reasons too, of course.
That being said, send all stuff to:
tapeductseven@gmail.comTopic should include "The Hardcore Overdogs"
You can also send general feedback or questions to that address.
And now... we are eagerly awaiting your material!
