Let The Tribe Increase

About Me

"Let The Tribe Increase" is a project that was started back in 1999, a book covering the various aspects of the anarcho punk movements of the late '70s and '80s in Britain. This long term project started as a book about bands but has since evolved into a book on the entire DIY aspect of anarcho punk, the cassette culture, the fanzine community and the politics that shaped their content (feminism, animal liberation, CND, Miner's Strike, etc.)
The book is a project started by Lance (Maximum Rock N Roll, J Church, Cringer) and Sean (Wat Tyler, Rugger Bugger). They've also been assisted by Sean McGhee amongst others.
The book will be published by AK Press. Currently, chapters are being serialized in Maximum Rock N Roll fanzine.

FANZINES...

Started work on the Vague chapter. It's really complex. How do you write about a publication that had such a big impact? It certainly was a big deal to me. Don't wanna be too subjective even though th...
