Issue 101!
So we didn’t end up stopping at 99, or even at 100. Issue 101 is back from the publishers and will officially be released on July 1st (but shhh they are in stock now, so will probably end up shipping before then if you get your order in that is!).
This issues sees a great chat with Edweena Banger, a punk legend right there! There’s a huge feature on the albums by the Lemonheads. Live reviews of Danni Nicholls and Reef. Marv is back with Now Then Gadgie in a new format, check it out! There’s a few columns as well from the gang along with a few music reviews to close the issue out.

In other news, we are very close to finishing issue 102 as well already! Very much ahead of schedule. Also issue 103 is underway too, definitely keeping busy right now!
But, we’d love to hear from you…. ideas, bands to chat with, all that stuff, we’d love for more of our readers to get involved. Please drop us a line! Cheers!

Issue 100!!!!
We bloody did it! We made 100 issues of Lights Go Out!
I spent ages trying to think about what to do for the hundredth issue… ideas of special editions, stuff I could put with it… but nothing really jumped to mind that was a bit different. So in the end I decided to just write about 100 rad albums…
That might sound a bit of a cop out but it’s not all that easy trying to whittle down just 100 albums. Going through my CD and vinyl shelves and picking the records out that I decided to include in this issue. I did however set myself a few rules. Simple rules but important ones for this process.
Grab a copy to see who make the 100 rad albums, also who just missed out?

Thanks!

Issue 98 of Lights Go Out is officially released into the world tomorrow!
Featuring Speed Dinosaurs and Local Trouts in interview action. Marv is back once again with another cracking installment of Gadgie @ The Flicks and this time is talking The Godfather III. There’s various columns too on the likes of cymbalic ladies, movies, physical releases and more. We’ve also got a special feature on compilation reviews along with some music reviews too.

Issue 97 – released today!
Issue 97 of Lights Go Out is officially released today!
Another 20 page zine rammed with loads of stuff for you to read. This time out we’ve gone along the lines of a movie special, Lights Go Out @ the Movies!
There’s features from various contributors writing about movies. From classic horror like Halloween, to Police Academy, to obscure low budget monster flicks, classic sci-fi, Cars 3, Godzilla vs. Kong, Studio Ghibli, horror double bills, memories of Blockbuster video and more.
If you like movies then this is the zine for you. If you prefer our music issues, don’t fret issue 98 is back to the usual music based content, maybe still pick this one up though and have a read anyways.
You can grab the new issue from our store now, here: https://www.lightsgoout.co.uk/?product=lights-go-out-issue-97
We’re closing in on that magic number, issue 100! I’ve teased that we may stop at issue 99 in the past (which is underway), but maybe we will put issue 100 out…
