A book exploring the surge of fanzines that emerged in the wake of punk in the 1970s and 1980s was launched this week at the London College of Communication. Here, our very own \u2018Punk Prof\u2019 Matt Worley tells us more about the book, which was edited by the Subcultures Network hosted here at Reading.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ripped, Torn & Cut <\/em>is an edited collection by the Reading-hosted Subcultures Network. Its focus is the fanzines that proliferated in the wake of punk\u2019s cultural assault. These home-made magazines \u2013 cut and pasted, typed and scribbled \u2013 reported back from punk\u2019s frontline and its far-flung skirmishes.<\/p>\n

Punk\u2019s \u2018DIY ethos\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where Sniffin\u2019 Glue <\/em>[a fanzine launched in July 1976] led, others followed. These fanzines often began with a paean to boredom, a dismissal of the music press (or the media generally), and a commitment to a \u2018new wave\u2019 that seemingly challenged and reinvigorated youth culture.<\/p>\n

From 1976 through the 1980s, \u201890s and into the new millennium, fanzines changed in style and form as punk\u2019s influence fractured, diluted and\/or disseminated. Not only did they enable a way in<\/em> to cultures and scenes both local and national, they embodied the DIY-ethos punk peddled. They allowed for an agency that challenged the apathy and passivity that punk railed against.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Inside their Xeroxed and litho-printed pages, bands were eulogised and dismissed; formative political ideas were tested; personal identities were constructed. In the book, distinct strands of punk\u2019s fanzine culture are unpicked and explored, with contributions from both academics and participants reflecting back on what they did \u2013 and why they did it.<\/p>\n

London launch<\/strong><\/p>\n

The book launch took place at London College of Communication (LCC) on 9 July, with Russ Bestley from the Punk Scholars Network steering things and Ruth Collingwood from the LCC archive displaying examples from their extensive zine collection.<\/p>\n

Russ and Tony Credland also put together a fanzine-based programme comprising sample pages culled from the fanzines discussed in the book. Before copies were sold and drinks were drunk, Richard Cabut read from his contribution, musing on his fanzine Kick<\/em>\u2019s attempt to forge a sensual revolution from punk\u2019s creative individualism.<\/p>\n

Blue Peter and potato prints<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
Lucy Robinson and Lucy Toothpaste<\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tom Vague explained the transition of his Wiltshire fanzine Vague<\/em> into a still on-going project of countercultural investigation, after which Lucy Robinson (Subcultures Network), Tony Drayton (Ripped & Torn<\/em>, Kill Your Pet Puppy<\/em>), Clare Wadd (Kvatch<\/em>, Sarah Records) and Nic Bullen (Antisocial<\/em> plus ever-changing others and Napalm Death) discussed the impulses, hurdles and machinations of their teenage fanzine production.<\/p>\n

Unlikely influences\u00a0 such as Blue Peter and Tony Hart emerged, doffed caps to the previous hippie counterculture were noted, and the use of potato print extolled. More immediately, the current resurgence of zines and their archiving was debated, paving the way for consideration as to fanzines\u2019 cultural import and potential in our digital world.<\/p>\n

Crossing boundaries<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earnest debate done and dusted, so books, beer and wine flowed from the LCC to the pub round the corner. Among those attending were Steve Micalef (Sniffin\u2019 Glue<\/em>), Lucy Toothpaste (JOLT<\/em>), Chris Low (Guilty of What?<\/em>), Tim Wells (Stand Up and Spit<\/em>), Graham Burnett (New Crimes<\/em>), Ruth Gregory (Temporary Hoarding<\/em>), Simon Beesley (June Brides<\/em>) and artist and historian Jane Palm-Gold.<\/p>\n

By the end we were convinced of William Blake\u2019s influence on punk and spellbound by a conversation that segued from heroin addiction to the travails of virtual learning environments.<\/p>\n

Not all were convinced by the thesis, but possibilities of funding bids are in mind. As it was, the event made good the Network\u2019s objectives of working collaboratively and forging dialogues that speak through artificial boundaries (academic, subcultural, journalistic, artistic).<\/p>\n

And, of course, Ripped, Torn and Cut<\/em> is but one of its projects. For the past and future, visit: http:\/\/www.reading.ac.uk\/history\/research\/Subcultures\/<\/a><\/p>\n
