Stylus is everything Winnipeg music. The zine of CKUW 95.9 Winnipeg, it informs us of everything from Punk to Americana to interpretive dance. Though the focus is on Winnipeg’s music scene, the writers keep their ears open to all bands circling North America. The zine is full of interviews with whoever the radio station, magazine or university can get their hands on. Stylus includes radio programing, concert reviews and plenty of interviews. It also includes a column: “weird shit,” which is one man’s delving into the under-underground. I can only imagine that this is a great read everytime. The writing in this zine isn’t the best and the sloppy editing can be very frustrating. But the content makes up for the lack of attention. If I was from the Winnipeg I would pick this one up every issue. (Chasen Gillies)
