Touch and Go: The Complete Hardcore Punk Zine '79-'83

by Dave Stimson Author and Tesco Vee Author

Touch and Go fanzine was the brainchild of Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson, launched in Lansing in 1979 to chronicle, lambaste, ridicule, and heap praise on all they arbitrarily loved or hated in US music and abroad. Inspired by magazines such as Slash and Search and Destroy and writers like Claude Bessy and Chris Desjardines, Touch and Go existed for twenty-two irreverent issues. Magazines like Forced Exposure and Your Flesh, among others, soon fired up Xerox machines themselves, and the rest is history. So is the legendary independent record label launched from this zine, and so are the bands covered inside: Black Flag, Minor Threat, the Misfits, Negative Approach, the Fix, the Avengers, the Necros, Discharge, Iron Cross, Youth Brigade, Faith, Die Kreuzen, Crucifix, Poison Idea and all the other punks worth their weight in glorious black and white.
