Issue 5 (May 2013)
We had a lot of fun making the cover of our fifth zine – it involved some leftover fabric paint, a couple of brushes and lots of blotting/flicking. The original copy is still somewhat sticky.
Contents include:
- a gentle critique of Julie Bindel’s attitude towards trans people
- the role of capitalism in rape culture (guest article by Jo McKillop)
- an informative piece of women’s history (guest comic by Holly Cruise)
- a rant about the erasure of women within accounts of punk
- protests in Bangladesh (guest article by Nazia Hussein)
- bands to check out – part 2!
- riot grrrl review – feat. Husbands N Knives and the Carry On Rioting compilation
Issue 4 (February 2013)
We haven’t scanned our fourth zine yet, but we will at some point, promises. It tackles a whole host of issues, including fear of writing, the Suzanne Moore/Julie Burchill freedom of speech/transphobia debate, and discourses of sexual violence. It’s not all heavy going though, as there are also comics and memes shamelessly acquired from friends through the Internet.
Issue 3 (October 2012)
Our third zine predominantly explores ideas of “riot grrrl” – what does it mean today, and is it still relevant? We also reflect on Not Right after playing music together for over a year.
Issue 2 (May 2012)
Our second zine has a lot more hand-drawn/handwritten stuff than the first, which made it harder to turn into a PDF. It’s therefore a bit rough and ready, but we hope you’ll enjoy it anyway.
Issue 1 (February 2012)
We made a zine, and then adapted it for the interwebs in an amateurish fashion. It doesn’t work quite as well as the original, but is still full of lovely writings.
