Rise of the Zines... (1 Viewer)

[kollin]

A zine-plugging thread. Living in Galway so I don't know what zines are out at the moment or if there is any/many(?).

For two reasons:

the first is I'm doing a free sheet called 'Hangover Times' and I want people to contribute and send stuff for review (music,zines,whatever) : kollin, 29 Munster Avenue, Galway. I will also send some to people who might want to hand them out at gigs.

the second reason is that I'm in a band and I would like to send copies of our demo to zines in Ireland for review but I'm not sure what zines review music anymore.

Vive le noise.!ninjaaaa

you're best bet Kollin is to scope out this forum and scope out the punkforit forum, for people posting up about their new zines and then pm them to do a trade or post the cash.

also recently theres been a new deadly issue of Bite the Hand by Cormie dont think it got mentioned on the interweb. i think Ed is making a new issue of Devil on 45 but since hes in a band now zines are less priority (ha ha). Necro Steve did a zine from Sligo there awhile back im still hoping to get my hands on a copy. oh i picked up a copy of Unset #? in Anthology books the other day. thats about the zine news for you Kollin as far as i know it.

Cheers Anto.Was trying to get some sort of a thread going anyway to get the good bedroom folk of Eirecore land talking about the old zines anyway.



Contributions for this Wednesday's Hangover Times very welcome but you have to get it to me by this evening.Or else your head will explode.

Anto, yer great!

FYI any zinesters... Actually, FYI everyone! A couple of the kids from out Greystones way are starting a mail-order distro called Bright Lights. They're gonna be doing zines, CDs, t-shirts etc so here's the link:

just in case anyone cares, DIRECT HIT is still going. PM me and I'll get back to you.Also, when in Dublin what do the Dubliners do? Are there any good shops where you can buy DIY records, zines, good books. When I visit Dublin, the only place that sells good zines like MRR etc is bloody Tower, surely there must be somewhere else. Anyone down there know, will save my poor feet trecking around back streets in hope of finding a wee haven.

City Discs in Temple Bar sometimes have MRR and Anthology Books too i think

the latest copy of lugnut came out a wee while ago. basically a primer on anti-civillizationist ideas for punks. no band interviews or vegan recipes, sorry. I'll throw one your way kollin. anyone else want one, pm me or post here.

 

[kollin]

Hey man, I can't pm you (it's disabled). Would like to get a copy of it off you...

 

[seaners]

I'll throw one in the post for you now Kollin. It's also available as a pdf thing here (plug!) http://325collective.com/library.html if you scroll down the list you'll find it.
