An update…
Hi everyone. I hope you’re all well, staying virus free and keeping safe. It’s crazy times out there right now. Zine wise, the lockdown has had an effect on us, we can’t put a new issue out for the time being. But, we are working away with content and the way it’s going with no end date for the lockdown to be lifted, we might have a few issues coming out in quick succession.
We’ve also got more new stickers in stock, cheers to the middle daughter for once again getting her Sharpies out to draw for us.
Huge thanks to everyone who has been ordering zines from us, much appreciated and we’ve just managed to update the stock levels in the store. If you fancy some lockdown reading, please do feel free to pick up a zine or two from us! Cheers.
Stay safe!

Issue 74 – released today!
We are pleased to announce the latest issue of Lights Go Out (#74) is released today!
Starring Knife Club, Worry, Strummingbird, Marv from Gadgie Fanzine is back with his movie column all about “Aaaaaaaah!”, various columns from wonderful writers, music reviews, a live review, a feature on Crass, another on Jawbreaker too. Five DIY punk bands to watch out for in 2020 (featuring: Resuscitators and more). Band profiles from: The Humdrum Express, Blue Crow, Before… they are hanged, 7th Grade Girl Fight, WEASEL and IncarnateOfficial.
32 pages , still just a quid. + postage
Obviously what with there being a shortage on bog roll (I blame Hacksaw), we can recommend buying the zine, reading and then if you are caught short…. though we are not to be blamed for any paper cuts that may happen…
You can grab the zine from us here: https://www.lightsgoout.co.uk/?product=lights-go-out-issue-74

Knife Club – exclusive interview…
Surely by now you’ve all seen the mystery surrounding Knife Club. A band that has appeared from nowhere, nobody has announced who is in the band yet they’re picking up high profile shows left, right and centre. Is this the idea of a band of social media geniuses who know how to play the game to devastating effect? Is it something that started as a joke for the band, went a little bit further than they thought and now they’re stuck with it? Right now, nobody knows.
With a name liked Knife Club, they are almost asking for a reaction, which has already been forthcoming on social media, with suggestions that they are glamorising knife crime.
We were able to drop them a few questions over, we were fully aware that as for actual details on their identity won’t be forthcoming, but we might at least be able to get a slightly better idea as to who Knife Club are… some clues to try and piece together the jigsaw… you can read the interview on the site now.
Check it out HERE!

Issue 73…. out now!
Well here’s a bit of an announcement… tonight we are heading to Yeovil for the Kult DIY Zine Evening with Razorcake Writers and a bit of music. Seeing as how the last issue of Lights Go Out sold really quickly we had a decision to make… do we reprint or do we just throw a whole new zine together? As I’m sure you’ve realised we obviously like the madness and a new issue of Lights Go Out is officially born today!
Luckily our good buddy Marv Gadgie of Gadgie Fanzine fame said he’d get involved and a we decided upon a split issue! So Lights Go out #73 is also Gadgie #40! 32 pages of zine goodness, our side features Breakup Haircut , Get Real Band, columns and reviews!
Officially available from the event tonight, you can also grab a copy from our shop and we’ll ship them later this week. Huge thanks to Marv for going along with these silly ideas, to John and Devin for their features too. Two issues in a month……. Yep we did that!

Issue 72… sold out!
Wow! Issue 72 has sold out! Huge thanks to every single one of you that picked a copy of the issue up, it really is much appreciated.
So I guess this means that we’d better pull our finger out and get going with a new issue of Lights Go Out. We have already been working away on some stuff for the next issue, which will be another of the usual music related issues. We have a couple of interviews completed already and some great features all ready to go, so we might be closer to the next issue than we realized.
I guess we should say something like stay tuned for news soon…
Thanks again.
