This might be a good sticky.

Where do you send an album to be reviewed, exposed, criticised, defiled, hawked, thrown in the bin?

I would think zine writers would be a good place to start!!

I would think zine writers would be a good place to start!!

they would be if there were any regular zines on the go, but barring Loserdom and Night of The Locust, I can't think of any (I haven't forgotten Devil on 45, but Ed doesn't really review records so much?).

Fact:Ireland needs a music based zine again, there's been a massive hole left by the dissapearance of UFC.

To try and reduce the pile of Moutpiece Lps in the Septic's box room I think he is seeking tips on where to send it or Mp3 copies so we might actually sell some copies- ie big circulation zines in Europe and the USA, decent websites etc... maybe an existing label runner has a contact list? Good start there from Linden, thanks.

i would easily do a national Irish punk/h/c zine, but i don't have any money. if labels paid for ads, maybe a couple of fund raising gigs to get the ball rolling, then i would be up for it.

any interest?

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Mel,how about starting it off as a newsletter type thing? Or just running off a handful as you need them on a photocopier?

pdf?

Yeah, I could do that. Get the ball rolling.
I take it there's shops situated around Ireland that would take some etc.

The pdf thing sounds interesting too.

Any good names for a national Irish punk h/c zine?

 

[piratecore]

if you scan it in and post it up here its good cos a good few people get to see it, i have loads of bits and peices sitting about for zines but its so expensive to fotocopy in belfast that to break even id have have to ask for so much that noone would buy it. which is a ballix. was thinking of just doing a double sided big sheet folded up cos i saw someone had them at a gig somewhere. nothing like stealing ideas off you resourceful southern folk.

Eirecore the zine?

maybe not. it's be immediately associated with this board, and the ensuing moshspace/metalireland whining would get tiresome real quick.
