The Punk Zine Archive

Heroin - Gravity Records

Growing up in the punk / hardcore scene during the early 90s was one of the greatest experiences of my life. The energy surrounding the movement, constant traveling, keeping in touch with friends around the world and the live music during this period are things that can never be duplicated. Some of my most exciting memories were grabbing the newest issues of Maximum Rock ‘n Roll and HeartattaCk from my P.O Box (we all had one back then) and instantly flipping through to find the latest 7″ releases from my favorite bands and to find out which bands my favorite writers were hyping. None of us needed MySpace, because we already had one of the most intricate social networks ever created.

These days are now being archived thanks to the Punk Zine Archive, a group of dedicated folks who remember what it was like to find out about new bands from the members themselves, usually while they were looking for a warm spot on your floor to fall asleep before their next show a few hundred miles away. The group are scanning some of the best ‘zines of the time in, digitally preserving them in PDF format and offering them free to download, with permission of course.

The following Maximumrocknroll, Flipside, Suburban Voice, and HeartattaCk punk zines are presented in PDF format for the zine archive. All of these punk zines are out-of-print, and each zine has given me permission to post this information online. All of the pages are included in an attempt to recreate the zines for the Internet, so people can read them for free. It won’t be perfect, but at least you don’t have to shell out big money to read these old punk zines or deal with crooks who sell copies of the zines, but they tell you the zines are original. This punk zine archive only exists because people have supported these zines. Maximumrocknroll, Suburban Voice, and HeartattaCk still have issues that are for sale, so feel free to contact them to pick up an issue (or two).

    This is great stuff here. You may not know me but I co-owned, edited and published Flipside from 1979 to 1989. I am in the process of coming out with a book soon about those days…

    Still more than a witness!!!!!

    All the best,
