Summary: In four short but inspired years, Ray Gun has captured the imagination of American alternative culture as a forum for debate and as an arbiter of credibility on music, graphic design, culture, and style. Out of Control celebrates Ray Gun and its sister magazines in a potent blend of the very best from their past stirred up with a larger dose of challenging new graphics, writing, photography, illustration, typography, fashion, and music from the cutting edge of today's youth culture. In it the Ray Gun creative team and literally hundreds of contributors - including many essential tastemakers - set out on a quest to track the critical search for identity in a youth culture that is itself media-driven and identity-mad.
