A zine of substance

About Me

ABOUT-GRAPES:
Whoever said being a kid means being ignorant can shove it!
SOURGRAPES is a zine of substance. Were about making your noggin' think by showing you lifestyles, music, and ways of thinking you might never of known existed- and in the mean time have a shitload of fun.
SOURGRAPES life began in the spring of 2006. It was created by 3 fogies and a dog listening top a Descendents 7". Our zine is based in Lex. KY. We focus on teaching kids about D.I.Y. ethics, being posi, and why its important to support local art and music.

Were not here to make you think like us. Were just here to make you think.

SUBMIT/SUPPORT:
When submiting to SG ZINE, your work will be reviewed for the upcoming issue. If we decide to use your work we'll contact you immediately!
REMEMBER:
You can submit to SourGrapes Zine randomly anytime. We accept submissions from anyone, no matter your age, location, or gender! We accept letters, photography, art, rants, editorials, music reviews, zine reviews. Pretty much anything that can stick onto paper we will photocopy. Dont be afraid to submit your art. It has to be super sucky to be turned down. Any racist, homophobic, bias, or just plain nasty-hate shit will automatically be turned down. Sorry assholes.
Be smart. Be yourself. And submit your own creations.
SNAIL-MAIL: If you'd like to send us crap in the mail (things to review: demos, zines, mixtapes are welcomed) Our address changes a lot so please write us an email before you send your stuff so we can give you the right address!
[email protected] (p.s. sg zine does not send/recieve mail from prisions. If you send us mail from prision we will throw it away)

WHATS-A-ZINE (AND HOW IT WORKS):
Hold up! What is all this talk about "zine", you ask? A zine is a self published, non-profit , work created by all sorts of folks. Zines (as in maga-zines) can be about anything and anyone can create them! Most zines are non-profit (including SG!) and make no- or very little money (all of which goes back into creating the next issue). Through reader support and donation you can help keep your local zine alive!
We highly encourage you to learn more about your zine community and find out how you can help contribute and support the underground press! If you'd like to learn more about zine creation, distros, zine-libraries and any other aspect feel free to write us: ([email protected])
