Bubblegum slut
Bubblegum [...] is a fanzine dedicated to the MusicAL genres sleaze rock, glam rock, punk, goth and anything related. Printed quarterly, the 'zine is based in Essex, UK and is edited by Alison B.
With a strong emphasis on new UK rock 'n' roll bands but still heavily flavoured with 'name' groups, Bubblegum [...], with its glossy, fake-fur-adorned covers, has quickly established itself as a premier fanzine of its type. EMAP Publishing House named Bubblegum [...] as one of the top 5 fanzines in the country in their annual awards.
Bubblegum [...] has featured InterViews with artists as prestigious as the New York Dolls, Ratt, the Levellers, the Quireboys and local undergrounds bands like Spit Like This and Drugdealer Cheerleader amongst many others.
The 'zine also prints features on subjects outside of music if considered relevant, like fashion, film and various zany characters.
Detroit-based writer and author Brett Callwood, of Classic Rock, Bizarre magazine, Alternative Press, the Metro Times and many others contributes a column called Leave It To The Professionals.
CDs
To date, there have been four Bubblegum [...] sampler CDs, including An Hour With Bubblegum [...] and Another Hour With Bubblegum [...]. Reviews in publications as esteemed as Kerrang! and Metal Hammer were entirely favourable.
In addition, many issues of the 'zine come complete with a cover-mounted CD.
