about

Before Touch And Go was one of the most significant independent music companies in history, it was a fanzine, created in Lansing, Michigan by Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson ("DS"). This podcast is the aural story of that fanzine and serves to highlight the publication of 'Touch And Go: The Complete Hardcore Punk Zine 1979-1983', an anthology of the entire 22 issue run of the fanzine complete with new essays and commentary from the likes of Ian MacKaye, Keith Morris, Henry Rollins, and of course Tesco Vee himself. The book is to be released by Bazillion Points Publishing in June, 2010.
