New Wave Magazines

....had to dig around in the attic to find them, but there I have a couple of issues of 'Bomp!' magazine - from about the same era as Zig Zag (I love Zig Zag!). I'm not certain but it was probably affiliated with the record label of the same name.

I found a box of old magazines and indie publications in my mother's basement this weekend. It contained a treasure trove of 80's memories. There was a copy of NY Rocker (3/84) w/ Johnny Rotten on the cover, The Link (2/83) w/ Boy George, Ear Of the Kat
