Scapegoats (Vollsuff #1)

Posted on April 21, 2021 by smurfpunx

Vollsuff [“totally drunk”] was “das Zine für alle Punx und Sympathisanten” that Karl-Heinz ‘Kalle’ Stille (Möglingen, north of Stuttgart) did. With the slogan “Bier, na klar” on the cover, obviously the description “erstes Deutsche SxE zine” is ironic… He also … Continue reading →

Hackfleisch

Posted on August 3, 2020 by smurfpunx

“Hackfleisch is a punk fanzine, the way I always wanted it: no concert-announcements, no record-reviews, but compacted anger, frankness and the willingness to make enemies.” I got to know Karl Nagel (real name Peter Altenburg, orinally from Wuppertal) around the … Continue reading →

Archbishop Kebab (Einseitig #1)

Posted on March 20, 2020 by smurfpunx

I got the first issue (actually just 8 pages) of Einseitig (“one-sided”). No idea how I obtained it but probably from ‘Madness’ Reinhard Vinkelau (‘Störfall Mensch’ drummer), who’s mentioned as the contact. There’s quite a few people listed as contributers: … Continue reading →
