Northern Blaze is an exciting new Belfast-based printed zine (none of this webzine bollocks) devoted to bringing the best bands in Ireland to a wider audience. If you live outside of Ireland or the UK don't worry about ordering a copy as I will try to minimise postage costs as much as possible. Issue 1 is almost ready and will be previewed at the D.O.D. Festival in County Laois on the 4th and 5th of July. Check my myspace for when it will be available to order thereafter.
