“March, April & May” is a fan zine published by February Records. Having included exclusive band interviews as part of our latest digital releases, it was a logical extension of the label. The zine’s title — “March, April & May” — is a nod to that natural progression.
We are looking for contributors. Please let us know if you’d like to be a part of “March, April & May” by emailing februaryrecords@gmail.com.
