YEAH, BLOGS ARE COOL AND ALL, BUT YOU REALLY SHOULD BUY THIS ZINE

Some people are talented. Some people are awesome. An even rarer breed happens to be both talented and awesome. Photographer Justina Villanueva is one of those people. If you go to metal shows in New York or New Jersey, you may have noticed this diminutive young lady snapping pics of some of your favorite acts. You may have seen her work on websites like ours (ex. Alice In Chains at Irving Plaza) and BrooklynVegan (ex. Converge at Europa).
Now’s a great time to acquaint yourself with Ms. Villanueva’s work, as she has just released the premiere issue of her self-titled zine. Issue 1: Basements, Blood and Noise features spectacular shots of bands like Black Anvil, Burnt By The Sun, Marduk, Municipal Waste, and Poison The Well, as well as the aforementioned AIC. Whether you’re an old fucker like me or a youngster that has never so much as seen a zine, I strongly recommend that you buy yourself a copy.

I’m gonna buy this for two reasons… number 1) I always support my music and those who are trying to make the scene cooler. number 2) she has a hot name.
LOL – I wouldn’t really buy something just because she has a hot name. But, she does, so guys — is she hot?
most overrated photographer in New York City
I am so glad you are giving Justina shine. She is a passionite, fantastic photographer, and a really cool chick who works really frigging hard. Awesome!
xpurposex the girl is as hot as her name is. She’s a natural beauty and I look forward to purchasing a copy of my own!
