“Can anyone make a difference anymore?
Can anyone write a protest song?...” Manic Street Preachers remain relevant in the interdependent music world with Decolonise Fest, The Molotovs, Weather Underground, KILL, THE ICON, Heavenly Records, Mitch Ikeda, Patrick Jones, Loud Women, REPEAT, more…
"They tried to bury us. They didn't know we were seeds" - there is a magical positivity at work under the radar of arts for all. TheZineUK documentary reports on a fertile environment happening despite the establishment’s hostile environment with sixth sense supernature and the people power of rock n roll music.
Read MoreDon’t do politics? No worries. Music, then.
TheZineUK asked respected British politician, Count Binface, about his musical taste in Rock.
In a land of song and dance we can relate.
The British Political History images from the 20th and 21st century take a heroically eccentric turn. There’s actually better stories within the truth!
This people’s champion can be taken more seriously than much of Wasteminster’s political discourse. Count Binface beat the fashtrashcandidate at last month’s London Mayor elections. He replied to our query with:
“If I had to name a rock act myself,
we Recyclons are very partial to a bit of Chris Rea.
I don't know why but we love him.Galactic best wishes,
CB”
Many thanks, Count Binface!
Not long now until the 4th of July - a trick general erection. For most people, it’s time to take out the trash. The unelected one inadvertently made #IndependentsDay a real thing and the media have already crowned the untruthed one. Greens are being shadowbanned by mainstream media Olds-not-News clan.
With more wrong ‘uns than ever, like a corrupted game show called ‘Hate Island’, this election is not looking much fun, so ‘The Road To Hell’ by Chris Rea seems like a fitting song to play out on…!
Stay safe and strong.

2024 proceeds at the rate of a week every day?
Parallel dimensions of psycho-trolls -v- poetic souls is measured (by TheZineUK anyway) in gigs, events and festival dates. These need finance to happen. Some sponsors are problematic for the moral conscience.
Nobody is perfect but it’s a Braver New World and the Resistance ®Evolution is developing. Children of all ages are an educated and empathetic new unity in a genocidal, eco criminal eruption of corruption.

One flag on the world stage is the most flown and displayed. Every chapter TheZineUK’s reported (perfectly imperfectly), feels like the deliciously diverse newer wave of under the radar rock n roll music industrious are SuperNature’s intent.
Hence the Fertile Environment HAPPENING despite the hisstablishment’s hostile one.
Not The Great Escape, Not The Alt Escape but an alt-alt-escapism of Total Interdependence Festivity - getting by with a little help from our friends.
March is annually SXSW, Austin, Texas
2023 TheZineUK repping (down the front for Brooke Combe) at the British Music Embassy to begin the People’s Music Tourist Board then, at Vancerts, where the first word spotted is “Magic
2024. Supersponsors? RIP SXSW especially the tone deaf response from local government to the music world. “Es Ex Es Double U” (as a recent profiled music industry event called it) is planning to plonk SXSWLondon into the June 2025 ecosystem of the UK festival calender and grassroots music venue circuit. Sigh…
It feels like that was the last real SouthBySouthWest. Because…
2024’s main talking point was artist boycotts where, ironically, they probably got their names mentioned more than usual in UK/Ireland press. We’re proud to have been a media partner of Vancerts. Teenage Sequence thanked them.
Totally unofficial independent stages for the WIN. This was Vancerts ATX 2024 being loved during the SXSW boycotts…
March was also Expo 01 though.
LOVE power.
Not a bad representation of how the evening of live rock n roll music, poetry, audiovisuals and socialising went, in the end!
April 2024
CroCroLand (our doc blog) was the sold out weekend of uniqulture, artists/allies everywhere. Friends hugging under the moon. Such escapism, that leaving to discover WW3 was being attempted was surreal. Oi, war wankers, when Ms Mohammed sings ‘Never Again’, we’re with her!
Believe it - CroCroLand "An uprising of (40!) bands and music fans" - Expo 02 was, indeed, pretty much like this!
The Great Escape is over shadowed by peaceful protest. Events take a couple of years advance programming so festivals and sponsors have time to consider/fix 2025 onwards.
Eurovision/Euronazivision, whatever, it’s an absolute catastrophuck in a week of BOOs (and bees!). (Mass Murder: still bad)
Ironically for this “once a song contest” bollox, It’s the week of Hind’s Hall by Macklemore (click link for the video - all proceeds to https://www.unrwa.org/ - the majority of us actually ARE united by music. Just not this genocidal apologist art-washing. 10% of the Malmo population protested this event. Generation A baby.
We’re in some Dr Who reality warpfusion of 42 dystopian movies.
Simultaneously.
With a Shitting Image remix by The Muppets retold as a fairy tale. Wicked greedy “royals” included.
Retarted (as in having an extra jam tart) eh? Ha ha… BLOCKED!
Example - UK (Unprincipled Kleptocracy)
In Westminster/Pestmonster, a tory prime sinister was beaten by a lettuce, but they themselves beat the current (unelected) “leader” whose candidate for London Mayor was some mad bigot. The local fascists, Britain First, wereas beaten by Count Binface . BritainLast, then. Sadiq Khan, Mayor Of London acknowledged Count Binface who did the journalists job for them and asked zionaziradioLBC where their disappeared journalist, Sangita Myska, was. Dafuq?
This is what happens when the oh-so-superior-to-us-daft “wokeratti” adults are in charge. The professionals, experts, institutionalised, establishment are in charge…They and their toadies are so IN “the box”.
The DIY Sector are some of the most professional in the rising global Arts and Entertainment movements.

A sixth sense moral compass is changing the world with audiovisual representations for and against this Planet Nutzy age. With global genocide raging, the ingreeding slaughter-glee masks are off for Team Apartheid. Weaponised botbrains have lost their minds.
Earthlings peacefully marching towards a better future. It won’t be easy but it will always be worth it.
