During my growing up and formative years in the scene, there was no Internet, only letters, tape trading, later first cd trading and fanzines with their flyers, interviews and reviews were the only real source of information.

There are not much physical copies of the zines made in Croatian scene, heck even I am doing a webzine, which is easier and much more comfortable way to reach out to the scene, but I totally support the people who do old school zines because I did quite a number of them back in the days and I know how much work it takes to diy cut paste and copy those little fuckers hehe.

OOPS is short for Oštrom olovkom protiv sistema(English: Sharp pencil against the system) and it is done by dedicated hardcore punx from Pula, Croatia, younger generation which carries the flame of the scene on and on forward, never to get lost.  Zine is classic made, in black and white cut/paste style, and it looks really good. There is a Spermbirds review, an interview with excellent Spanish band Blowfuse, political non music piece about utopia and leftism, Pula hardcore punk bands info scene report, I didn˙t know there are so much new bands there and I am so happy for that fact. There is also a non music text about punk and fashion and that is about it. Short but sweet. The zine is in Croatian language, so if you like it, order your copy and write to:
