After a ten year hiatus, Bad Trip Fanzine is back! And we've thrown our other passion, surfing and surfboards, into the mix. The original idea of Bad Trip was to celebrate forgotten musical heroes of the past, as well as modern bands influenced by them. Bad Trip never hid it's love and bias for 50's - 70's style, whether it be music, books, movies or good artistic design in general. We wanted to include the old style surfing culture from the outset too, but never had the space. With new inroads to some of surfings great past (and present) surfing craftsmen, we will now make room! Even if you don't surf, you will find their stories fascinating, and you surfers will surely love the music articles too. Why are we doing this crazy shit again? Because, after looking around at the current cultural landscape, we figured you might need us now more than ever. In our humble opinion, we know you do! As self appointed arbiters of good taste, we're gonna try and turn you on to cool stuff coming down the pike. And just like before, only older and wiser. Oh, and please pass the word, any and all are welcome here!
ps - our irreverent tongues will still be planted firmly in cheek, promise ...
