Actually, every issue of Scraps had something about The Haters, and one of two other writings about other noise. Chop Shop, Damion Romero, Fin, Small Cruel Party, K2, and The New Blockaders were all featured.

Wasn't most of scrap of paper kind of... ehm.. "culture"? word-puzzles, obscure texts, etc. and not interviews/reviews/writings of noise?

..but there is also Sleeping Trouble #1, which is basically harsh noise (wall) zine. Pretty good one that came out just while ago. Only interviews. Cut & paste lay-out in A5. Looks nice, quick to read, but still informative.
Where I can get this?

probably PM to narcolepsia and ask. I had it for sale, but copies sold in couple days! It has also interview with that dead body photographer talked in art section.
Probably have to see if can arrange more copies for sale.

As Loud As Possible.
I guess it's not much mentioned in SI forum yet, but I should underline, that this is magazine not to miss! And note, that it's now also available from FA distribution, with international shipping mere 2 euro!

I would like to say, that this is THE noise magazine. Surely there has been magazine before, and will be after, and each of them delivers their angle for the noise. But if you look for something, which is:
1) well written
2) about bands that matter, guaranteed
3) with abundance of content

There simply isn't any competition. One could simply look at the targets of many of these articles. First of all, there are many, which seem to be guys, who you simply can't get hold of. But ALAP has. There are bands and labels, who never really gave decent interviews or were targets of articles by people who know what they write about. But now they have been covered. One wonders about the task what this Broken Flag article has been? It's not only that pretty much all is covered, but also from angle of artist, the label and possibly more. I would think if you'd ask could this be made by anyone else than mr. Underwood, I'd say.. no? Or hell no! With no disrespect to any journalist out there, or my own possibilities, I still believe, this is far more advanced that pretty much anything done before. You may look at the groundbreaking publications a'la Industrial Culture Handbook... but that was.. back in 1984 was it?

So what ALAP could do more? Perhaps only to make it annual happening. Who should they cover? Hopefully some of those you rarely hear about, but who have made impact. Perhaps the UK guys they might be able to speak to. Comes to my mind... Contrastate? Apostles? Mnemonists? The bizarre material between the post-punk & noise, between free music & noise, older avantgarde? I would find it good, that since I believe the staff knows and has abundance of good stuff to be written about, they could reject the too obvious "scene noise". Which they pretty much have, although not entirely? I mean, I am up to promotion of good contemporary noise, and those who are active now and "need" the publicity, but....

I'm really just into "industrial" rather than pure "noise", but even I ordered a copy of As Loud As Possible!

shakehurst, do you have an online catalog of stuff you distribute?  I've been looking for more Canadian sources to order music from. 

absurdexposition

hey brad,

http://www.justsaynorecords.com

not an overt amount of noise related stuff right now, main focus is punk/hardcore/pv/grind/etc. had a year-long stint of being too broke to do anything with it at all, so the entire general stock is low, but now i'm starting to pick up speed again and working on getting more noise and metal (things i've always been into, just never bothered to distro)

ALAP   -  I would agree, but i think of this more as a book than a periodical or otherwise.  I can't imagine how many issues could really be created, at least not if the were to keep with the initial issue? Still, i really love this, and I was surprised at how cheap it was.

From http://www.asloudaspossible.org/:
QuoteAs Loud As Possible # 2:   A solid 200 pages of indepth interviews, articles, informed frontline opinions and an extensive reviews section.  Due late 2011.  All details to be announced mid-2011.

As far as I know, there are already plans for more than 2nd issue, so I guess it will continue at least few years.
And I would assume it is also up to response and sales. It has big run, therefore cheap price. 150 pages for 6 pounds sounds like dirt cheap.

MY PERSONAL BEST #1 from Lasse Marhaug!
Excellent noise zine! Or should it be said magazine? Pro-printed, A4 size, 90 pages!
Visually very elegant, with often slightly unusual interviews!

Some copies for sale from FA at the moment.

"And Then And Yet" cover the Pacific Northwest scene in the US and Canada. Folded copy paper (not even stapled) with scattered photocopy collages and short articles that mainly consist of record and show reviews, and a few articles about artists.
