Zine - Civil Disobedience

 

Civil Disobedience is a Toronto punk fanzine. I think members of Youth Youth Youth are involved because there is a Youth Youth Youth logo on the front cover and partially because I remember the guitarist, Rob, told me about this zine. But I have never seen a copy until this one that Dhaibid James of Moondog Ballroom loaned me to scan. This issue came out in 1981, but I have no clue as to which month. I believe this is the second issue because it makes reference in an editorial to feedback they received about the last zine. The zine has opinions and collage artwork to lyrics by other bands. This issue has:

- a piece on lookism or discrimination based on looking like a punk;

- a piece on World War III possibly coming out of Libya;

- a piece criticizing the US;

- a piece promoting the local scene which may have been inspired by the band's choice to cover the Young Lions "Made in England";

- a piece bring attention to pseudo intellectual hyperbole from the press; and

- a back cover poster about the riots in Brixton.

Zine - Civil Disobedience

 

Civil Disobedience is a Toronto punk fanzine. This might be an earlier issue, but it came out after August 6th, 1981 because there is a reference to a Globe and Mail article, which was the inspiration behind a piece on nuclear war.

- This issue starts out with a collage on a Poison Girls song;

- There is another collage piece critiquing gender roles as related to masculinity;

- There is a review critiquing the film "D.O.A.";

- There is a collage on TVs;

- There is a collage for the Dead Kennedys song "Holidays in Cambodia"; and

- The back cover is a collage of headlines with the questions about why more people aren't punks given how crappy the world is.
