Slowpoke Zine #1 -by Becky Laverty-
Slowpoke is a new zine featuring essays, interviews, poetry and visual art from a range of contributors from the world of underground art and music. Founded by Becky Laverty (who writes a weekly Slowpoke newsletter, and books bands at Roadburn festival in The Netherlands), Slowpoke is a zine that is comfortable moving slowly, discovering new art and music in your own time, and learning about it outside of the whirr of a neverending hype machine.
This issue features contributions from/ about:
Becky Laverty
Blake Armstrong (cover artist)
Cody Davis
Dylan Desmond

Ethan Lee McCarthy

It is printed in full colour in the UK - 44 pages on 170gsm paper, with 250gsm soft touch laminate cover. It looks fancy, basically, but its heart remains well and truly in the underground.
