‘In Ripped, Torn and Cut, The Subcultures Network provides ample
evidence that fanzines can and should be taken seriously. The book
will be of significance to any historian working on British youth
culture, but there is plenty to interest historians working on
cultural theory, ageing, personal testimony, publishing and
networks. It forms an important and welcome intervention into the
history of British youth culture.’
Sarah Kenny, University of Birmingham, Sheffield, Contemporary
British History, January 2019
‘Distinctive and interesting.’
Matt Grimes, Birmingham City University, Riffs
‘The definitive survey of a living underground, still
transformative, and forever restless.’
Thurston Moore, Sonic Youth
‘The Subcultures Network team have curated a lively, thoughtful and
thorough collection which explores punk fanzines and their legacy
from lots of different angles – full of genuine wonder and
enthusiasm for these provocative, often preposterous
artefacts.’
Lucy Whitman aka Lucy Toothpaste
‘Punk rock was a cut and paste culture - a cultural bricolage of
pop culture styles reshaped for the then modern age - nowhere was
this better underlined than with the explosion of fanzine culture.
This book captures that sprit perfectly when a generation empowered
by the words are our weapons rallying call of DIY punk rock created
their own media.’
John Robb
