Another new issue – out now!
Here we go again!!! Yep, today we have launched another new issue of the ramshackle punk rock based zine we lovingly call Lights Go Out. Don’t worry this one isn’t one of our silly/themed issues – but a regular(ish) version of the zine.
Featuring chats with: Brassneck Records, Dead Neck, Basic Bitches, The MSGS, Passion Flower & The Woodsman. Marv from Gadgie Zine is of course back with his “Gadgie @ The Flicks” column and this time out we are treated to a classic, “The Empire Strikes Back“. Tim Loud talks Freddy Fudd Pucker, there’s some columns and reviews in there too. A pretty rammed issue as always!
If you fancy grabbing a copy to read, still just a quid after all these years/issues – you can pick a copy up from our shop here: https://www.lightsgoout.co.uk/?product=lights-go-out-issue-81
Issue 82 will be released into the wild in March…
After that, well issues 83, 84 & 85 are all finished. Issues 86 and 87 are almost finished. Issue 88 is maybe 75% finished too. We’ve also started working on issue 89 – cor this lockdown can be quite productive for writing zines eh!
Cheers as ever for supporting Lights Go Out.

Issue 80 out Now!
Today we release issue 80 of Light Go Out. Lockdown movies volume II. So back in March 2020, I started working from home, I watch a lot of movies (more now I can’t play music or go to gigs) and started to log all the movies I was watching. This is volume II of my movie watching. Some great movies and some very shitty ones.
If you do fancy a copy then you can grab one from our shop here: https://www.lightsgoout.co.uk/?product=lights-go-out-issue-80
Issue 79 is now totally sold out, huge thanks to everyone who did grab a copy. Issue 81 will be out later this month. Issue 82 is ready to release. Issues 83 and 84 are finished and ready for copying. Issue 85 is also finished. Work has started on issues 86, 87 and 88 already! Lockdown has been pretty productive for zines it seems!

Issue 78!!!
First up happy new year! Oh and for those of us in the UK, happy lockdown part 3, which is pretty much just tier 4 for all. So last year was tough to get the zine out, but this year we’re going to start things off with a new issue right away… issue 78 is released today!
A special edition of the zine, you know I like to mix things up every now and then. Basically I watch a lot of movies, some good ones and to be honest a lot of shite ones too. The first lockdown started on March 23rd here in the UK. I started working from home the week before so from March 16th, I have documented every film I’ve watched. I wondered if I could get a zine out of it… nine months later I am working on the fourth volume of lockdown movies! So issue 78 is part 1 of the movies I’ve watched since being sent to work from home! It’s silly, but it’s fun.
If you are at all interested in this issue of the zine then you can pick one up from our shop here: https://www.lightsgoout.co.uk/?product=lights-go-out-issue-78
Issues 79-82 are also finished and will be out soon, a couple of weeks gaps between issues I imagine. But… if you are at all interested we’re doing a bundle deal, get all of the next 5 issues 78/79/80/81 & 82 with badges, a random CD, stickers (if we can find any on the shelf) now for a bundle deal which is here: https://www.lightsgoout.co.uk/?product=lights-go-out-2021-lockdown-bundle-uk-only
Might interest some of you…. the 5 issues are three specials and two regular issues of the zine.
Oh issue 83 is ready for copying. issue 84 is almost finished, just the last few bits to go as well. As for 85 and 86 – both are being worked on…
