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.

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])
