Description

Touch and Go: The Complete Hardcore Punk Zine '79-'83 First published in 1979, Touch and Go was a groundbreaking fanzine that chronicled the burgeoning hardcore punk scene in the US and abroad. Founded by Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson, the zine was a labor of love for the Midwest scene, with its creators producing just 1,000 copies in its first issue. Inspired by the likes of Slash and Search and Destroy, the duo's irreverent and humorous approach to music criticism and culture soon gained a following among fans in cities like DC, Philly, Boston, and LA. Over the course of 17 issues, Touch and Go featured contributions from influential writers like Claude Bessy and Chris Desjardines, as well as reviews and features on a wide range of punk bands, including Black Flag, Minor Threat, and the Misfits. The zine's impact was significant, inspiring a new generation of music fans and helping to launch the careers of several influential bands. Today, Touch and Go remains a highly sought-after collector's item, offering a unique glimpse into the early days of hardcore punk.
