Norwegan fanzines?
Before you go any further go and check out this new blog about Norwegian bands and their records. Then come back here and check out the fanzines that Kjelli, who is the blogger behind the afore mentioned blog, contributed to PunksIsHippies.

First is this offsite link for Dønk-zine, a Norwegian fanzine, where you will be able to download for free the zine's three issues to date (or use direct link below).
Dønk-Zine #01 from November 2006
Dønk-Zine #02 from May 2007
Dønk-Zine #03 from December 2007

The next zine is not really a zine but a zine and a catalog in-one from the "Knallsyndikatet" (a Norwegian collective) which contains stuff like info on ziner, radio, tapes and vinyl label stuff and bands like Angor Wat and more stuff. Pretty cool I must say.

Then, the next bunch aren't actually Norwegian fanzines at all, but Danish. Namely, the remaining HA! Fanzine issues (the first was posted below, here).
HA! Zine Issues - 2,3 & 4

PUNK ON WAVE
So here you have scans of P.O.W. Magazine issues 1-3. 1 and 2 are from the "Punk On Wave" era, when the magazine was pretty much just a punk zine ran by Sakevi and a bloke from Lip Cream? Or was it Laughin Nose? Unfortunately I only have scans of the front, back, and spine of issue 2. the person who scanned these is trying to prevent other people from seeing them for some strange reason. I don´t see the fuss as these are just scans, data nothing compared to owning the real things. it just seems greedy to keep them for yourself!
The third issue is from when the magazine got taken over by Sakevi and became the strange, arty "Performance Of War".
*EDIT* - RE-POSTED AS THE LINKS WERE DEAD!
SLOBODAN EDIT JANUARY 2010:
This seems to be an never-ending popular upload. And it always goes down so so so quickly. Here is however a link for the first two issues that still work. CLICK HERE!

HORIZONS
HORIZONS # 2* HH/GERMANY/1995 * 42PAGES/GERMAN *
done by Gonzo the LEBENSREFORM singer, this is what you would call an egozine! I liked HORIZONS without being part of the NORTHCORE-scene [in the end of the 90ies some bands & active people from the north of germany called themselves/were called NORTHCORE]!

Ha! Zine (from Denmark)

Another contribution from Norweigan Kjell, this Danish fanzine called "Ha!" offers worship and reviews of a B.G.K. concert, MDC and Negazione records, texts and thoughts on punk, alcohol, Denmark scene report, interview with Dunderhead...Perhaps the blogging Danes, i.e.Toxxy or Robert Johnson (ex-PunchDrunk blog, RIP) know something about this...???

Rövsvett's singer Löken's fanzines.


Here's another stolen, albeit somewhat edited and translated, fresh fanzine blogpost from Mikael Sörling's Swedish language punk blog Södra Promenaden. Don't leave any thanks below, give him all the appreciation you can. However, as always I may help translate any of the contents from the zines, tell me what you need translated into English in comments and I'll hook you up. No problem.
Fetvadd (roughly "Fat calves") was a zine made by Löken (="The Onion", lol) who is famous as the singer of one of Sweden's longest living and angriest fucking hard core bands, a.k.a. the Poison Idea of Sweden, Rövsvett, as well as by a few other friends. The zine had reports on international scenes, comics, reviews and naturally band interviews. Anyways, what you get here is the second issue of Fettvadd.
Mardröm (= "Nightmare") was (probably) Löken's very first fanzine. In this zine he writes about bands known from the Really Fast compilation, including Destroy and Nasty Boys. Concert reviews includes Dead Kennedys, Theatre of Hate and Exploited. Discharge is singled out for particular worship. What you get is issue one.
Download here.

Crisis Point No. 1 (UK, 198?)

Here's a zine that I bought in a collection of old UK zines. Scanning the pages I considered whether I should keep the real life colour of the pages or convert into greyscale. Considering how precious this zine what with pages almost falling apart, print really vague and so on, I decided in the end to keep it the way it is. I like the idea of conservation of shit like this, it kind of gives legitimacy to the zine archive (in a way that is, I know, in stark contrast to fact that the website is based on a blogspot template but you know, we're working on it...).
I know there is a 3rd issue as well so there should be a second one too, but apart from that I know jackshit about the zine. Anyway, this first issue of the zine has interview with SUBHUMANS, Culture Shock, Oi Polloi, Maniac, Hung drawn Quartered (?), as well as some other stuff including amusing little charmy History of Discharge and something on CONCRETE SOX (don't you just love it when zines have stuff inside that is NOT advertised on the front; that's a prompt for you to download EVERY single zine here because you will NEVER know what you are missing if you don't!!! Seriously, think about it) and, yes, much more. The print is indeed very vague at places which is due to the weight of time and who knows perhaps hap hazardous storage...
DOWNLOAD HERE.
(Please note: Ultra large folder at more than 100 mb - but if you want this then that should not be a problem)
OR DOWNLOAD PDF HERE (THANKS DAVE)
Death By Insanity no. 1 (USA, February 1982, "Second printing")

Includes DECRY, CIRCLE JERKS interview and more plus reviews. From February 1985. Anyone want to add anything? USE COMMENTS (or don't).
DOWNLOAD.
Filthy Trash 1 & 2 (UK, 1985)

Here's the first issue of UK zine FILTHY TRASH. What with such a iconic cover I shall say no more and in an attempt to encourage reader feedback please write a line or two in comments if you know anything about the zine.
DOWNLOAD
Second issue was first posted here with the wrong cover image in the blog post (not in download folder) for some reason (for direct link click here) but here's a second chance.
Sika Äpärä no. 3

The zine they all want to be. Named after a song by Rytmihäiriö (Perhaps? I am probably mistaken, could be that the band took the name after the zine, can't remember) the name is in any event Finnish and means something I forgot (lol)...
(Update) My friend Saska wrote me to say:
"It means "pig bastard" directly translated. You should use it if you want to seriously offend someone." (also see comments, Terska confirm this)
This zine is almost a whos-who of Swedish punk and hard core of the 1990s. Total Discharge and Finland obsession, coped with anti-PC humour that is in some ways still shocking today (actually the extent they go to shock is an obvious sign that nothing is meant by it).
I am sure there's material in the three issues that the dudes managed to puke out for a PhD thesis or two on the subject of punk history. The extent of the influence on Swedish d-beat and beyond can NOT be underestimated (I am sure people older than me will laugh but I am serious). YES I am thinking of Warvictims, before them there were the likes of Dissober, Disfornicate and many many others that simply would NEVER have existed had it been for this zine (along with the Finnrecords label that went hand-in-hand with the zine and of course all the bands and shit from the two Jaris.
Infact all the inside jokes shared with members of each band interviewed makes anyone reading it want to be on their side - I think it's almost like some sort of passive aggressive bullying schoolyard shit going on her - here lays I think the lasting impression of the zine...Me and my friend stole liberally when we did our zine in the first half of the 1990s...but we were perhaps not the most blatant ripoffs, at least we had some own jokes thrown in as well whereas some of the other shitty zines well actually that is probably my ego talking...
ANYWAY DOWNLOAD IT NOW!
Here's Sika Apara issue 1 and Sika Apara issue 2. I think links still work...
Here's an interview with the boys that is automatically translated for you non-Swedish speakers...
Here's SwedishPunk.Com's entry on the zine.
If you ask kindly I will translate any of the stuff from this zine to English, use comments...
(And on a technical side I could not -in true Sika Apara spirit- be arsed to crop scans so what you get is a massive folder that'll suit those who fancy printing this shit as this is

Udarac Drito No. 2 + 3 - Fanzine (1989)

"Here is the zine I made in late 80's, written in Croatian but it may be interesting to some of you. 16 A5 pages, high quality scans from original master, so you can see how it was glued all together a good old cut and paste way, or even make your own copy. Originally only 60 copies made.
Including interviews with President Fetch (Denmark), Rectify (UK), 16 B.U.H. (Sweden), Strelnikoff (former Yugoslavia, Slovenia), Have A Nice Day (former Yugoslavia, Slovenia), Bloody George (former Yugoslavia, Macedonia), Naked Raygun info, Satan Panonski poster, column by Ivan Glišić, flyers, etc...
All interviews made through postage mail, you know, DIY old fashioned way. If anyone has more 80's former Yugoslavian zines and is able to upload it, let me know, there was a lot of it. Hope you'll enjoy this one."

Excusado (Columbia)




Excusado is a Latinamerican fanzine, published in Bogotá D.C., Colombia. Below is some info I got from Wikipedia:
Excusado Printsystem www.excusa2.tk - In 2002 started splashing of stencil on the 7th Av (Bogotá, Colombia) and it was as well as its circle of influence overcame the limits of the Graphic Design Academy of the National University of Colombia. From there the interventions were increasing and the technology progressed, the fields and modalities of action were multiplied. Today EXCUSADO PRINTSYSTEM is an integral project with solid work, proper channels of diffusion (fanzine and website), participations in numerous projects and the experience of having produced a graphical festival of anthology: DESFASE “The First Assault” what they term “visual experimentation through direct street action”, the country’s first exhibition of street art which brought together artists from Colombia, Brasil and Spain. “We have three tenets: make no profit; create public spaces where anyone can share their thoughts and images”

CONTRASCIENCE 5 1/2 & LIMITED OPTIONS...SOLD AS NOBLE ENDEAVORS COMP. 10''
ladies & gentleman the Pope proudly presents the 1st double posting! no, that´s nothing you need to be excited about - that just means it will be posted here and on AM I MEAN?! plain simple! but back to the the content of this post: CONTRASCIENCE 5.5 and the LIMITED OPTIONS...SOLD AS NOBLE ENDEAVORS - comp. 10'' that came with it. maybe it was the other way round and the zine came with the comp. anyway... the comp. is a mixture between fast
& hard (MK-ULTRA, SWALLOWING SHIT, DEADSTOOPIGEON) and more melodic tunes (MAN AFRAID)! the zine however deals with just one topic: the army/military! still a topic worth getting a little informed about!
