100proofTRUTH is one such publication, now on it’s 5th online edition it has a growing readership from counterculture’s web savvy. As an arts and culture led magazine 1ooproofTRUTH showcases the talents and gives a voice to new and established artists. The content is deftly handled by founder King Adz, a fantastic documentary filmmaker who has profiled greats such as Blek Le Rat and Stass Paraskoss. His enviable talent for finding the best of the new breed is inspiring and marks the magazine head and shoulders above any mainstream publication that attempts to cover the same bases.
Reporting comes from a new school of thought, a school that grew up on Hunter S Thompson’s Gonzo journalism style but adds a new dimension for the future. Alexis Manning brings troubled areas to life getting into the reality that is lost from so much news reporting. Her article from Cape Flats in South Africa in issue one sets out a clear statement of intent; uncompromising, no holds barred, gritty realism. The new dimension is added by fast flowing, urban film which accompanies the written reports. The film brings a visual representation of the sights that Alexis describes providing a quick yet definite insight in her travels.
If you haven’t read the magazine yet then now is the time to start. The editions can be sporadic but believe me they are worth the wait and in the mean time you visit the wooster collective and areyougeneric to keep your mind engaged and up to date.
