Hey guys! Matt here from Demolish and Paper Cuts “fame”. I’m back from my adventures overseas with Steve Towson and am getting stuck into issue #7 of Demolish. I’m hoping to get it out before the end of the year. But until then I have found a few back issue of Demolish, going back 9 years! Plus the latest (issue 6) issue which I never made more then 30 copies of before heading off.

If you would like to get a copy please check out my Big Cartel website: http://mattlimmer.bigcartel.com

Lots of Love, Matt

TRIPLE ZINE LAUNCH & DEBUT EXHIBITION,

SEPTEMBER 1 – 3, 2010

“ZINES are independent little magazines published by people like you and me and completely devoted to the D-I-Y (Do-It-Yourself) ethics. They are very diverse, covering topics from music, art, politics, parenting, ethnicity, sexuality, class issues, religion, feminism and much more. In zines anybody can write about anything. Zines usually have a small circulation and are distributed at concerts, record stores, through friends, mail, distros…” ~borrowed from GrrrlZines.net
