   About The Gears
The GEARS started in 1977 when Axxel G. Reese confronted L.A. Shakers Drummer Dave Drive in his garage to form a new band. Crazy Ruben was the original guitarist along with bassist Gabriel Shock . After Recording the legendary “Let’s go to the Beach” single the band split up after Crazy Ruben fired a cue ball at a GEARS roadie’s head and was never to be seen again. Controllers’ guitarist Kidd Spike was enlisted along with bassist Brian Redz to fill the empty spots and “Rockin at Ground Zero” was recorded in just a few hours.15 songs of melodic punk rock with a rockabilly flavor. The band would play the masque, Hong Kong Café, and all the local punk venues around in the early 80’s. The line up would remain the same for a few years until the band disbanded in ’85 with Axxel and Dave forming the D.I.’s. During the early 90’s the GEARS would reform with all but Redz. Employing various bass players throughout the 90’s including Johnny Ray of the D.I’S among others. Dave Drive would eventually leave the group around the late 90’s with his position being taken up by his nephew Sean Shift (later of the Skulls and Weirdos). 2000 found the GEARS playing very few shows up until about 2003 where they would open for the likes of the Skulls and Weirdos with various bass players sharing duties for the next couple of years. 2005 found the GEARS playing more often than usual. Also, Brian Redz was back in and out of the group, flying in for shows here and there and Dave Drive started showing up to do a few songs a set. In May 2005, Mike Manifold would be asked to sit in on bass at a Long Beach show. This would turn into a permanent spot, except for the days Redz was in town. In July and December 2005 the GEARS would re-unite with the Axxel, Dave, Redz, Spike line up for a few songs at the Knitting Factory and opening for the Adolescents in Long Beach. In 2006 The GEARS played more shows than they had in a few years with Manifold handling most of the bass duties. Most recently in late 2006, Sean Shift would leave the group due to conflicting scheduling (he's leaving for Germany in December). Dave Drive has reassumed the drummers throne once again and GEARS fans are in for a treat if they can get their asses to one of the next shows!

jayson You are gonna love this one, get this, Matty has been banging all the hottest girls at history-class for the past three months now and
nobody has figured out how he has been pulling it off except for me, I got all the proof I needed last week when he slipped up.
I was at his crib and he was in the garage so I was snooping around his room and sure enough under his bed I found a book on how to
pick up women and like six bottles of these peniz capz from GHMINT.COM
So I told him I knew his secret about why he has been so popular with all the girlies now and sure enough he told me, to please not
tell anyone about the wang medz because if other guys found out that they would mess his game up. Get this, they made his thing grow
quite a few inches and it is still growing today, thicker longer all for the ladies, also he told me the book did nothing for him
haha but those crazy enlarger capz worked like nothing he had ever seen in his entire life.
Well I looked into these capz myself by going to the site he gets them from at GHMINT.COM just copy and paste the address into your
internet browser and see them for yourself. Best thing of all is, the place guarentees you that it will work on any guy or you get
every penny you paid back including the shipping, so there is no way to lose here, go now to GHMINT.COM

A BEAT OF OUR OWN
Issue Number Two
by Ginger Coyote



Got a copy from Editor Jared in the mail. A Beat Of Our Own is a D.I.Y. 36 Page Zine out on newsprint with a color cover.. It sort of reminded me of an early issue of the print version of Punk Globe... Jared has some informative interviews with- The Avengers Diva- Penelope Houston, Jae from A.P.P. L.E., Danny from Social Unrest, Colin from The Hated, Steve from Thought Crime (not Adam P's -Thought Crime from the East Bay), Mike from Channel 3 and Punk Globe's own Punk Of The Month - Insane Jane Weems - who has played drums with countless awesome bands.... Lots of cool old photo's, graphics and fliers... Helping keep the scene alive and giving respect to the Old Skool Punx. A great showing for a second issue.. Done with alot of heart and soul... Jared will do trades...Deadline for Issue 3 is May 15

All girls are lying big time wene they say that size dosent matter.
I am telling you this because it is the honest truth, look I should know, they say that it is all in the way you use it, not how big it is, well I got news for you all, that is pure lies.
I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that Joey has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since he has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how he went from having a tiny wang and in 4 months he is now about nine inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow pills from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them. TENUY.COM
I found out when I was at his house, three fridays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with pill bottles in it, there was like 9 full bottles and 4 empty ones, all ordered from TENUY.COM I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls.
I just never put two and two together until he explained it all to me, I did see his prick and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 6 bottles from the website at TENUY.COM for you know who.. he does not have a myspace account, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the pills will work on any man, or they give you your money back, living proof that they do work on any guy, seeing is believing. TENUY.COM

Ok I know this is hard to believe but you remember seeing that message and bulliten a little while ago about the peniz pills to make it bigger? Well.... Just like you I am sure, thought it was funny and a joke, but today I find out that my own brother Aaron has been taking the pills since he heard about them on myspace and yes, they actually did work on him, he hooked me up with some and its been 2 weeks now already see a big difference and I ordered nine more bottles from YMBOB.COM
Yes My brother is living proof that they do work, he never used to get girls, now since a few months he is all popular with the girls in his class and work too. They made his saussage grow a full 3 inches in hardly any time, they really work fast on any guy.
If you order some now from YMBOB.com you will even get a full money back guarentee, so don't worry about them not working on you as well as they did on my bro and starting to on me as well.Tell them I sent you as a friend if they ask Just copy and paste this address into your browser and hook yourself up today YMBOB.COM
