LYNCHED-Where Did We Go Wrong?-(Psalm O' The Vine Records-Ireland-2004)

Irish folk group from Dublin founded in 2000, becoming Lankum in 2017.
Dublin Folk Miscreants originally formed as an experimental-psychedelic-folk-punk-duo by brothers Ian and Daragh Lynch in the early 2,000’s, and has since progressed through a number of incarnations, culminating in the four-piece group playing today (along with Cormac MacDiarmada and Radie Peat who joined in 2012). Having spent a number of years performing as Lynched, the band decided that they would no longer continue with the name due to the unavoidable implications that it has in regards to acts of racist violence. (This was first publicly announced in an Instagram posting by the band on 19 October 2016, which noted that the band "will complete all gigs booked under our current name until February 2017, after which we will be working under the name Lankum".)

Number 5 of this astonishing fanzine already covered in this blog a couple of times.
Cormy`s individual writings mixing his own experiences and music reviews + interviews making this zine pretty personal and original.

In this issue: Interviews to Doomtown, Martyrdom, a critic at Queers In Molotovs(a cafe in Ungdomshuset:Copenagens autonomous center),zine and music reviews + few personal stories. 
The usual punkish graphic layout finishes a cool fanzine.

Bite The Hand That Feeds The Poisoned Food N4-(Fanzine-Denmark-2005)

This is the zine by Cormy from Ireland, this issue finished to be assembled in Nov. 2005 when He was living in Denmark.
 Personal writings and music mixed in his own very way making this collection of thoughts very special.
 After a long intro, we`ll find here interviews to Guided Cradle from the Czech Republic and Abandon from Sweden,, few music reviews plus a very in-depth and rather funny diary of the tour with Nuclear Death Terror.
All very well decorated with a crusty edge graphic layout making this zine looking very punk.
Nice one, Cormy.

Bite The Hand That Feeds The Poisoned Food n3/Cottonfist n17-(Split Fanzine-Ireland/Denmark-2005)

This is an amazing joint effort by two great fanzines active in the early 2000s.Lots of personal writings, ideas/critiques about the punk scene some interviews and music+zine reviews.I have found it very interesting.
Few words from other webpages: 
Split zine, 68 pages A5, with an A3 split poster. Written mostly on the theme of sexual assault, rape and gender in the punk scene, with lots of pieces on the various issues involved. Interview with INEPSY (Canada), and with 4 women (from Ireland/Brazil/Canada/Australia) on their experiences of sexism within the punk scene in Ireland and also where they´re from. Pieces also on Halloween (Samhain) in Ireland, it´s pagan roots, and the chaos it brings to the streets, and another on the tyranny of living in cities. Lots of zine & record reviews, drawings, photos and various other small pieces.(from Eirecore



Cotton Fist was written by Eric. He started the zine in 1997 after coming across various zines and freesheets and feeling they weren’t dealing with subjects that he was interested in, such as animal liberation, animal rights, and anti-fascism, which would make up the content of early issues, along with record and cider reviews. Getting more aware of other zines and avenues of writing, Eric tried to put more of a personal perspective on political issues. The last issue of Cotton Fist , which was the 17th issue, was a split zine with another Dublin punk zine Bite the hand that feeds the poisoned food and was released in 2005.
Over the years of doing Cotton Fist Eric expanded its distribution from purely local by sending it for trade/ review to other zines and to various shops, distros and individuals in Australia, North America and all over Europe. 
Bite the hand that feeds the poisoned food is an anarcho-punk zine from Dublin, Ireland.
Bite the hand that feeds the poisoned food is put together by Cormy. It contains articles, interviews, music and zine reviews. It has had interviews with Bastard Youth, Niall McGuirk (who used to write React zine), Tom Inglis and Conor (who used to write King of the Sad People). The articles often are of a personal/political nature. The last issue was a split zine with another Irish punk zine, Cotton Fist.(from Zinewiki)
Enjoy it.
