So as promised yesterday, today we take dive into a few of our favourite #zines, which are by no means the definitive list. We can go on all week listing all of the zines we’ve fallen in love with.
First up, of all the time/spirit defining publications of the punk movement- we’ve picked #JamieReid’s #SuburbanPress. It was tough choice to make- having been torn between #MarkPerry’s #SniffinGlue- which for us was the real forefather of the DIY/’Sharing is Caring’ spirit- , or even #JonSavage’s London’s Outrage- a man who went to write the entire history of punk. We can come back to those at a later date.
What attracted us into choosing Jamie Reid’s zine involves his crucial décollage aesthetic-the work he is most known for being his album artwork for ‘Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols’. The same visuals were utilised in Suburban Press, which he ran from London for five years in the late seventies. Inspired by the #Situationists and #Dadaism, Reid fused the two with his anarchic outlook to create what we know recognise as ‘punk’ graphics. Whereas Mark Perry’s amateur journalism reported on punk music itself, Jamie Reid used this graphic language to report on politics- critiquing his local Croydon council as well as bigger-picture Capitalist structures. That for us is the beauty of what Punk really means- that anarchic, defiant and impeaching nature of not settling for less translated through subverted and juxtaposed imagery, that are meaningless until they are hashed together. Yes- standing up for improvements of your local bin collection is as Punk as anything.
Going back to the work of Jon Savage and Mark Perry however, what seemingly influenced and encouraged both zine-pioneers to get out and create their own was a booklet called #BamBalam. Running from 1974 to the 1980’s, #BrianHogg from Scotland was producing his journal quarterly. #TealTiggs describes the zine as ‘a training ground for journalists’, like #JonSavage, who himself commented that Bam Balam was ‘an unacknowledged but important influence on Punk’.
