# Fanzine interview, first page

> The first page of a typewritten fanzine interview with The New English. The introduction names Johnny Rasheed on bass and vocals and Shareef on guitars, with drums supplied by a drum machine printed as “Sequestial”; a black bar hides a word before Shareef’s name. Short topic headings run down the page, from drum machines and the independent scene to Morrissey and Marr, television, alcohol, religion, racism, skinhead fashion and benefit gigs, with answers from Johnny and Shareef. A solid black panel carries a rotated slogan about being harder and more melodic than two famous groups.
