Reports From The Frontline - Syracuse Hardcore 1991-1998 - Book

Reports From The Frontline is a massive archival compilation collecting the most
important zines to come out of Syracuse, NY between 1991 and 1998. During this period, Syracuse stood as a true epicenter of the straight edge vegan hardcore movement, and these zines were the reports.

Many of these zines have not been seen outside of private collections in over 30 years. This book brings them back into the light, preserving the voices and perspectives that shaped one of the most influential hardcore communities of the ’90s.

Alongside the original zines, the book opens with a forward by Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy, who situates Syracuse’s impact on him as a young man from Chicago. The collection features brand-new contributions, including interviews and reflections from key figures such as Dave Natoli, DJ Rose, John McConnell, Shane Durgee, and Ryan Martin.

The scope is staggering: 26 complete issues from 15 different zines, bound together in a single volume that spans over 800 pages. Presented in a large 8.5x11 format, the book includes both black-and-white pages and full-color inserts. This is not just a reproduction - it’s a carefully curated time capsule.
