Hello…
Hi everybody… hope everyone is keeping well out there. The whole lockdown thing is pretty crazy and as soon as lockdown is lifted and we’re back to usual working habits you can rest assured that there will be some new issues of the zine coming your way. In fact we have already completed the next two issues ready to go to print, we’re working on another one right now too – just waiting on a couple of interviews to come back and we’ll be putting it together. If anyone out there fancies contributing to an issue, please do get in touch with us – sometimes writing a column, reviewing some music or even interviewing a band can really help relieve the lockdown boredom ya know. It could be a mental health helper, maybe give it a try. In fact if anyone out there just wants to get in touch and chat, if you are struggling with your mental health (or anything), do get in touch, we are friendly here, well most of the time at least. But yeah, get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.
Stay safe everyone & take it easy!

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!
