Noah x Sniffin’ Glue – An Interview With Mark Perry

06:58 minutes, Directed & Edited by Radley Cook

“Renegade media and subculture go hand-in-hand. Before the internet made it easier to find out about under-appreciated music, movements, and brands, zines and other independent publications disseminated this information for a curious few who truly wanted to seek it out. It was infinitely harder to find like-minded people—you had to go to the same shows, frequent the same clubs, and do so much more than just follow the same accounts on social media.

Zines were an integral part of this. These were physical publications often made in small quantities and edited by skeleton crews of people who were simply excited about the scene and wanted to tell those stories from a firsthand perspective. SNIFFIN’ GLUE AND OTHER ROCK’N’ROLL HABITS, better known as Sniffin’ Glue, was a monthly punk zine started by Mark Perry.  We recently caught up with him to learn more.”
