Straight Edge is one of the most popular zines in Hungary.  It's a music interview based zine & is in hungarian.

QRD – why did you feel you personally needed to do a zine

Tibor – well, it was a very simple reason.  I like music so much, but I haven't got so much money to buy records.  so I thought if I do a fanzine I'll get records easier.  later the doing of my fanzine became a really enjoyable so called hobby & I was interested in getting records less & less because I got a lot of records I didn't like.

QRD – how available is Straight Edge?

Tibor – Straight Edge is available in some record stores in my city, Györ, & the capitol city of Hungary, Budapest, & I distribute it via mail to my other readers who are living in several cities, towns, & villages of Hungary.

QRD – what zines originally inspired you to do one?

Tibor – I was inspired by the most famous Hungarian fanzine, it's called Második Látás (it means Second Vision in english), to start mine.  then a few years later we did a split issue.  I started mine in 1992 & we did our first split in 1995, since that time we've done two other split issues, too.

QRD – what's your favorite Swans' song?

Tibor – you know I like the Swans very much.  the Swans are one of my favorite bands & I like their songs very much.  not all their songs of course, but a lot of them I like.   so I can't tell you this or that song is my favorite Swans song.

QRD – recently some of Straight Edge has been in english, are you thinking of starting to do it in english?

Tibor – I have received a lot of letters from different countries in which people write me, "your fanzine is great, but there is a big problem.  I can't read it because I don't know Hungarian."  so I decided I'd have some parts (the interviews which I do myself via mail) in english.  you know first of all I do my fanzine for Hungarian people, Hungarian readers.  & to tell the truth my english is too poor to do the entirety of the fanzine in english.

QRD – how many issues would you like to do a year?

Tibor – two times a year would be great, one in spring & the other in autumn.  but you know to do my fanzine is just a hobby for me.  so it not only depends on if I can afford it, but if I have the time & frame of mind I do it, if I haven't I don't.

QRD – where do you think underground music is headed?

Tibor – it's anybody's guess.  maybe everything turns more & more extreme, different styles fuse, some styles become stronger than ever, some fade away.  I really don't know, these are generalizations.
