Zine - EXD, VOLUME 2, ISSUE 1

This issue came out in January 2002. This issue featured a band from Scarborough called the Class. This band was originally called NBC and would later become Action, but the Class was what they were in the interim. They were interviewed at CIUT on January 6th, 2002. A retrospective look at 2001 appeared in this issue. These were thoughts put together based on the monthly Top 10s that were compiled over 2001. There were reviews, show listings, and a rumourmill.
