Kent Mc Clard - Heartattack

Heartattack was an internationally distributed punk zine, along the lines of Punk Planet and Maximum RocknRoll with a strong bent towards hardcore punk and anti-consumerism. It was published by Kent McClard and Lisa Oglesby from March 1994 through June 2006. In the final years of its publication it remained one of the most popular zines available. O'Connor describes it as "one of half a dozen major punk fanzines in the USA during the 1990s."

Its main characteristic was traditionally seen as its refusal to review anything that has a UPC label, considering that to be a mark of consumerism. Some have felt that this has intentionally marginalized the possible reach this zine could have. Nonetheless, the magazine became a presence in the underground music scene, and a champion of the DIY movement.

HeartattaCk published its 50th and final issue on June 30, 2006. A number of contributors have created a new zine in the same spirit under the name Give Me Back.
