Jersey Beat #55 (Weehawken NJ)

This is Jersey Beat's "Old Punks Issue" and it includes some ground-breaking coverage of the emerging punk rock revival that was being spearheaded by the overwhelming commercial success of the Offspring and Green Day. As part of this punk rock coverage, issue #55 includes interviews with All's Bill Stevenson, Jawbreaker, CIV and the Circle Jerks, as well as what could possible have been Green Day's first interview, from 1989 in Testa's Grot music zine, a Jersey Beat spin-off that covered non-NJ bands.

This issue also features Testa's coverage of Lollapalooza 1995 and a photo gallery of the Warped Tour 1995, along with interviews/articles on the bands Urchins, Mars Needs Women and Into Another plus the usual review columns and big ole review sections for demo tapes, records, zines and the like.
