Excellent overview of late 70s Swedish punk from FORCED EXPOSURE fanzine #16. Johann Kugelberg still owes me a record for that Brainbombs single I bought him in 1992.

Taken from today’s Waitakere Walks post – read it here.

TAKE IT! fanzine from 1983, featuring Chris D. from the Flesh Eaters on the cover. This is the mag I’ve been pulling so many scans out of the past few weeks, and it’s probably one of the 10-15 best fanzines I’ve ever read, right up there w/ Forced Exposure and Slash.

To the extent you can even read it, here’s a scanned article about BONA DISH from an old UK newspaper/fanzine thing, likely about 1981.

Article by Eric Lindgren on “The Ten Most Twisted Tracks From the Sixties”, featuring bent and wild garage, psych and novelty songs by The Legendary Stardust Cowboy, the MC5, Swamp Rats, Lollipop Shoppe, Calico Wall and more.
Scanned from TAKE IT! fanzine, 1983.

MENTAL CHILDREN fanzine from the UK, circa 1980, featuring The Slits, The Raincoats, Essential Logic & more from the United Kingdom’s post punk children, present at the creation.

Chris D. singing for THE FLESH EATERS, live 1982 on their US tour. Captured by Byron Coley in his classic tour diary in Take It! fanzine the next year.

Linda “Texacala” Jones from TEX & THE HORSEHEADS, live in Los Angeles 1983. Scanned out of “Take It!” fanzine. She’s got love if you want it.
