- Forced Exposure
"Forced Exposure" was an independent music magazine (
zine ) published sporadically out of Massachusetts from the early-'80s to 1993, edited by Jimmy Johnson andByron Coley . It was printed on cheap newsprint with plain design and filled with corrosive yet humorous writing.While there were articles and reviews of various counter-culture figures in literature (
Charles Bukowski ,William S. Burroughs ,Philip K. Dick ) and film (Richard Kern ,Nick Zedd ), the primary focus was independent, punk, and obscure music. The tone was often sarcastic, confrontational and highly opinionated. Coley in particular wrote in a vernacular that was influential on subsequent rock journalism.The list of contributors and interviewees reads like a who's who of underground music from the time:
Steve Albini ,Mission of Burma ,Sonic Youth ,Lydia Lunch ,Chris D. ,Tesco Vee , et cetera. The last issue of the magazine, #18, was released in1993 . "Forced Exposure" now exists as a distributor of CDs and vinyl records.External links
