In the meantime, we’ve just blogged about an exciting discovery related to the history of punk rock in Boston, the fabulous Miscarriage DIY ‘zine published by two female music fans from Jamaica Plain in 1977-78. You can read more about our set of issues at Recto|Verso

Boston Punk from the Female Fan's Perspective: Loretta Baretta and Carmen

Monoxide's Miscarriage Magazine, 1977-1978.

 

Miscarriage. The Abortive Attempt.  Nos. 13 (1977) - 14; 16 - 19; 20; 22 - 30;

30 (bis) - 36 (March 1978) (dated per the postal cancellation). [Title and

subtitle vary.] Collection of 23 weekly issues (ca. 2-6 leaves each). Boston /

Jamaica Plain, MA (10 Priesing Street) 1977-1978. (47328)

 

Like most cities in the United States, Boston can lay claim to a punk-era

history all its own.  The venerable Boston Groupie News, the Subway News, and

later, Forced Exposure are among the better-known chronicles of such indigenous

noise and youthful exuberance that flourished along the banks of the Charles

River between the mid 1970s and the late 80s.  Now we can add Miscarriage to

the list of essential Boston underground fanzines.
