The History of Music Zines In Nashville
posted February 13, 2025 #
The Nashville Underground occasionally bubbles up a piece of music history that piques my interest - such as this 1986 alt weekly called The Metro. Lots of great scans and art to see there but if you pull the thread just a little further you'll end up at Rev. Keith Gordon's History of Music Zines in Nashville; a four part series that starts in 1976 and touches on a multitude of releases through the 90s (before transitioning in web publications in the 00s).
Make sure you read Part One, Part Two, Part Three and Part Four in full... loads of gems there and so much additional threads to pull, should you be so inclined. Or, just go for the graphic design, of which there is plenty to enjoy.
