So, yeap, it’s true. My good friend L. has just released the 1st issue of her awesome zine called Nowhere (or Now here). I’m really psyched since we are been talking about this for more than a year. Moreover, I feel a bit a part of this zine since I lived a part of the production of it, plus I have a column, some reviews and some more thoughts inside…

L. is a great writer and it’s a pity that I didn’t ask her to contribute in Keep It Real zine before; the shame on me… I really like the whole atmosphere of the fanzine, the cut & paste layout, the handmade writings and everything. In the era of adobe, it’s really vital to have a fanzine reminding you of the good ol’ days. It’s more personal, more nostalgic, more something, I dunno…

Well, Nowhere #1 includes 92 A5 pages of music & art. You can find everything from poems and columns to illustrations and drawings, and from band interviews to dozens of record reviews. Just for the record, the bands that are interviewed here are My Turn and Blacklisted from Greece, and Bernay’s Propaganda from Macedonia. This is definitely a punk rock zine that all the local scenesters and zine lovers should get.

This scene needs fanzines, so you better start one yourself too.

Take Your Shot_____________________________________________

If there was a prize for 2011′s best new punk zine, then NowHere would surely win it! This is as punk as zines get these days, but at the same time there is something trashpop about it, which sets it apart from the heap of punk zines in your local distro zine box! Apparently making this zine took L. (the girl who puts it all together) a good two years, but it is definitely worth the wait now that this 94 (wow!)  page zine is out.

This zine is neatly put together and balances between music, art and punk politix. There are band interviews, cartoon strips, illustrations, opinion articles, record reviews, zine reviews, poems, slogans, ads created by L. herself, plus more stuff to keep your punk ass busy for hours on end! At least it got me staying up till 3am last night reading! NowHere covers a wide range of music, from dirty punk to hardcore to lo-fi to garage stuff and it’s a good, interesting mix which escapes the hardcore/punk monotony.

I also can’t pretend I’m not stoked about the fact that the band I play guitar for (My Turn) is interviewed in this zine, as well as for the fact that I’ve contributed a small article. It is just great to share a space with  a bunch of punx who have their own, personal, great style of writing. L. definitely owns it, I mean the lady should (and probably will) be an author someday. She uses the rarest. weirdest, coolest words out there so thumbs up!

Taking You Down With Me__________________________________

Fuck yes! A new greek punk ‘zine that rocks! Now Here ‘zine is the first effort of my dear friend Nemesis Knox ,also responsible for some serious writing on her blog with the same name,make sure to check it in the “friends” links. Usually the first issue of a ‘zine is short in content but this one goes beyond the 20 pages mark I’m used to…to be exact it’s 100 pages long and the best thing is that you can read it front to back in one sit (or shit if you like to read ‘zines in your toilet!).
There’s lots of writing from contributors (yours truly included) about various subjects ,interviews with My Turn,Black Listed (both bands from Athens,greece) and Bernay’s Propaganda,lots of artwork from greek and international artists,extensive ‘zine and record reviews both punk and not and random thoughts spread across the pages. To quote a friend: “…best fanzine I’ve read in years,there’s so much to read and there’s also diversity to the whole thing making it appealing to almost everyone!”. Couldn’t agree more with that!
For those who care,this issue is limited to 300 copies so act fast.

Αρχικά το Now Here μου την έδωσε. Μέχρι να μάθω την ύπαρξή του είχαν ήδη γραφεί 3 ριβιούζ και δεν είχα να κάνω κάτι άλλο από το να μαζεύω τα σάλια μου. Τέσπα, μου το δώσαν κι ήρθε ο καιρός να γράψω κι εγώ κατιτίς. Ίσως υπερβολή μια ακόμη παρουσίαση αλλά το να υπάρχει και μια αναφορά στη μητρική μας γλώσσα είναι κατ’ εμέ επιβεβλημένο.

Όσα έλαβαν χώρα στο Καταραμένο Σύνδρομο (†) την συναυλιακή σαιζλόνγκ 2010-11 είναι σαν να έχουν γίνει χαλκομανία στις σελίδες του Now Here. Συγκροτήματα, μουσικές, μπλα-μπλα, εικόνες και punk ταπετσαρίες γραμμένα, κομμένα και κολλημένα με στυλ, σαν αυτό της Vivienne Westwood (χαχα!). Οι έγχρωμες πινελιές είναι το κάτι άλλο. Αν ήταν στα ελληνικά θα το λάτρευα αλλά έτσι θα στερούσα τη χαρά αλλονών. Μαζί με αντιλιακό και ρακέτες είναι το 3ο κατά σειρά μάστ της φετινής παραλίας!
Α, κάπου είδαμε και μια αναφορά στην ιστοσελίδα μας. Σ’ ευχαριστούμε Λ!
