PUNK BLOG
Your one-stop shop for all your punktastic reading needs, this online punk zine aims to make you laugh, cry and wonder. As I’m currently based in sunny Edinburgh, Scotland, not only will you find breaking punk news from around the world, you’ll get updates on the best bands Auld Reekie has to offer and show listings and reviews for Edinburgh and the surrounding areas (which is defined by my ability to cadge a ride to it).
And for all you teen idles out there, I’ll be regularly posting about ’80s hardcore. I personally scour the internet, books and zines, and routinely break into other people’s houses to play their records in an effort to be able to argue about every hardcore band…ever.
