The Details

This July, THE 97 will celebrate 10 years online. THE 97 ZINE will celebrate artists or albums, but it will be told for and by fans. We look forward to connecting with fans and hope that the zine can become a sought-after, much-anticipated collectible. In addition to the articles included, a talented fan will also design each zine’s cover art. This issue’s cover art is designed by Jake Cohen (@MemoirsOfJake).
