History of the FlagburnerI started doing the Flagburner back in 1997, desperately trying to get involved with the punk scene (and getting something to do as well, for that matter). I was bored, depressed and lonely, and figured I could make some contacts and fun out of it. On a trip to Sweden I bought Read & Destroy #1, and thought "Wow, I could do something like this, too", so I started to write reviews on all my records and sending e-mail to some bands. I got some interviews made and released the first issue, which I sold for less than copying it costed. Because of that the number of pages decreased in later issues, but the font size also got smaller, so I think there's even more text in the newer issues. For the moment the number of pages is 16 (with a doubled page-size, so it's as much as 32 with the small one), and I think it will stay so (it was 40 in the first issue). The Flagburner has, during its history, gotten more and more political all the time, which I see as a definite plus. A minus might be that it looks more professional, but there's actually nothing I can do about it - it is what it has naturally become. After all, I have changed too, and the way I think of punk has so as well. More about the development of The Flagburner can be found under Released Flagburners, where I've written more info about each issue so far. | Main page |
