zach riccobono

hey zach, you sent me money in the mail for some zines. you wrote your return address in crayon, and i couldn't really read it so i guessed. i mailed the zines to you, but it turns out the address that i guessed was incorrect so they were returned to sender. i'm down to send you your zines, so if you see this, please email me your address, or next time don't write in crayon, or if you do write in crayon make it legible.
sincerely, christopher

Razorcake reviews Roman Candles' Last Exit to Berkeley tape

razorcake reviewed the most recent roman candles tape. thanks craven. 


Mr. Candles (a.k.a Christopher Gordon) says, “these songs are mostly about graduating from college and not wanting to.” His songs tend to have the same level of self-effacing modesty as that introduction, which is their charm. A little more life experience should make Mr. Candles a pretty solid lyricist. I hope that doesn’t sound condescending, because these songs are clever, humorous, and charming. Also, check out Mr. Cand... er...Christoher’s zine The Stowaways. –Craven (self-released, romancandlesmusic@gmail.com)

MRR reviews the stowaways issue #6

Maximum Rocknroll #348 - MAY - 2012

reviewed the stowaways issue number six. pick up a copy.

THE STOWAWAYS #6 / $?

8.5 x 11 - copied - 12 pgs

There's not much happening here, it's on the shorter side and not super-engaging, but it has some character and distinctiveness. Show reviews describe the events surrounding the gig (we went for beer, etc.) at least as much as the show itself, but not much escapes the mundane. He interviews a band that sounds like Bright Eyes, who I don't think are punk, but the interview is done in person and is OK. There are music reviews as well, including a demo and some punk shit. This zine is better than this review makes it sound, but not a lot better. (JM) 5082 Wendover Rd / Yorba Linda, CA 92886 / fuckthestowaways.blogspot.com
