September and October 2021 punk news | Meganews 8
Discover September and October 2021 punk and DIY world news
September and October are usually two months full of new projects. Will this have been the case even in these uncertain times? Find out in our meganews 8!
We write this kind of article looking around and writing down what’s new; via your private messages and e-mails; via the post we write one week before publishing our meganews where we ask you about new releases. So follow us and let us know about your band’s new release or news from your collective, distro, ‘zine, project, etc!
DISCLAIMER:
Punk is an attitude for us, if it was only music we would’t have opened, so not merely musically punk topics are welcome – this is why you can also add Antifa, against repression demonstrations, etc. – if they share the attitude. Militant hip hop, ska, blues, and songwriting are welcome provided that they share with punk spaces and values that are its basis.
IMPORTANT! Listening and discovering new stuff is cool, but if you can buy the physical copy to support bands and labels and if you have the opportunity to donate, every little help is actually a big help.
Swipe the article attentively because the order is random and you’ll find various players and more info for each name involved. LET’S START!
