Alternative Strategies – Summer 2023 zine

Description

Third punk paper. 48-page riso zine giving the scaffolding a good shake. UPSET THE RHYTHM ruminate on their two decades of putting gigs on under the same banner, and we talk to LIZ PELLY about whether underground music can resist being moulded by streaming and ‘the Mood Machine’.

There’s catch-ups with FIRST TIMERS, London promoter CRYPTIC GROWTH and VHS fanzine TORQUER and new writing on radical education, HALF MAN HALF BISCUIT, hardcore picks and where to find the best records on your way to Selhurst Park. And then there are reviews, photos from gigs across the city and a comic where GAME destroys the New Cross Inn. Loads and loads.

With new writing, photography and comix by LEIGH ARTHUR, JONNY BROKENBROW, DOLLY CARRIE, CREG CLARRRK, ELENA COLMAN, TOM OBERST, BEN PERKINS, SAM ROBINSON and COLETTE ROSA. Edition of 220, printed by PageMasters on neon green and black in Lewisham town centre, June 2023. I want to hear your band. ANOTHER SUBCULTURE.
