Rock Writ rockwrit

Dave and Rena O'Halloran of What Wave ('84-'96) give us the lowdown on their beloved London, ON garage punk zine that had a global reach.

We close out 2023 on a high note with Eric Friedl of Wipeout, one of the great unsung, sub-underground fanzines of the early 90s.

We zoom in on the life and work of legendary photographer Justine DeMetrick, a key figure in the visual history of American hardcore punk! Shooting bands in the early 90s, vivid recollections of fave venues, artistic heroes, Intermission fanzine, and more.

Pleasant Gehman of ground-zero LA punk fanzine Lobotomy ('78-'82) treats us to a brilliant batch of stories: scoring candid interviews and photos with punk royalty, writing for Slash, a run-in with Kim Fowley, and much more.

The ultra-prolific Andy Pearson of Fear and Loathing fanzine (going strong since '89) on getting gripped by glam, rivalry among UK music weeklies, having a Nick Cave interview go wonky, and scads more.

David Elliott of the brilliant Neumusik fanzine (1979-82) tells the fascinating tale of this little-known experimental/post-Krautrock music mag that's ripe for rediscovery.
