The first CLUNK Zine of 2023 is out!

We’re hoping to take CLUNK to the next level across 2023 and CLUNK Zine 005 is setting the tone.

CLUNK 005 sees American punk-rock outfit FIDLAR grace our front page and inside you will find an exclusive interview with Zac Carper (frontman). Zac talks us through the band’s return after a four-year hiatus, mental health, addiction, pressures to live the Fuck It Dog Lifes A Risk mantra, and much more.

There are also interviews with rising indie-pop star Abbie Ozard, who chats about her influences, most extensive tour to date, and lots more. SOFY sits down and delves into her 2023 goals, her unique art style, and the misconceptions of what life as a musician is like. Langkamer also have a chat about their new album, tour essentials, and food theft.

In addition to this, you will find interviews with Backseat Lovers, JW Francis, and Lip Filler.

In terms of features, there is plenty for you to indulge in such as our photographer highlight that features London-based photographer Max Dillon. A very special feature curated by artist, musician, photographer, DJ, and all-around creative Tula Gartmayer, titled Boys In Dresses: Make Way For The Femboys. This photography series aims to shine a light on issues around societal ideologies surrounding gender conformity and gender stereotypes by showcasing masculine characters in dresses and other ‘feminine’ attire. It’s provocative, fun, and challenges the social construct we live in, whilst being incredibly pleasing to the eye and heart.

There is also an exclusive write-up about The Rills debut show in the student town of Falmouth at the Cornish bank, as part of IVW. The feature on the band will have quotes from the band where they chat about sea swimming on Gylly Beach, social media, and what they think about the haters.

There is also the return of our album reviews from Luke James as well as a variety of live reviews and photography from shows featuring Maja Lena, and English Teacher.

CLUNK Zine 005 will be available for general sale on March 2nd and we finally ship internationally!
