If you were a local band in the 1990s to the early 2000s, MEAN STREET MAGAZINE was a great place to get exposure. With its slick covers, easy to digest stories, and DIY feel, this magazine was big, cool, underground, and important.

Run by editor/musician/music lover Waleed Rashidi, he sat down to talk about his early writing days, becoming editor of MEAN STREET, and more!

These videos are part of an ongoing video series chronicling the hardcore punk music scene. They are an addendum to the film Orange County Hardcore Scenester. This is a documentary I made that chronicles the 1990s hardcore punk scene.
