About Me

Band interviews, show and cd reviews, pictures, rants - GSS is everything a skinhead zine needs except a case of beer. Number 8 came out in March of '07, number 9 should hit the streets before the end of the year, and 10 about the time you're sobering up from the holidays.

Gaines Street Saints is SHARP-friendly but not a SHARP or political zine. This is all about the skinhead culture, world wide. The only thing we flat out will not print is WP/nazi bullshit.

If you are in an oi, ska, hardcore, punk, etc band or run a label and would like a free copy, contact me at [email protected] with your address.

EVERYONE ELSE: FOR A CURRENT COPY, SEND $2 AMERICAN TO:

Gaines Street Saints
P.O. Box 3411
Tallahassee FL 32315-3411

I will send GSS anywhere you can get mail, all around the world. Just contact me to work out the details if you can't get US cash for payment.

My Interests

cost of living

I'm thinking I may have to charge 50 cents for the next issue of the zine when I hand it out at shows, to cover cost. I'll have to see how much of the production I can scam for free.
