WIRED UP! FANZINE is an essential read for lovers of 70's GLAM ROCK.Named after the classic JUNKSHOP GLAM number by HECTOR,the first four issues have featured a host of glam greats such as SLADE,SWEET,SUZI QUATRO and COCKNEY REBEL along with reviews of obscure JUNKSHOP 45's by the likes of BIG WHEEL,SHADES,MUSTARD and CLUTCH
Things get even more interesting when the focus shifts onto that 70's subgenre known as BOVVER ROCK.Issue Three is billed as A BOVVER ROCK SPECIAL and contains an excellent article that details the 70's STREET GLAM bands that took inspiration from SLADE and appealed to the WORKING CLASS/POST SKINHEAD/FOOTBALL LOVING fraternity: THE HAMMERSMITH GORILLAS,JOOK,BILBO BAGGINS and the aforementioned HECTOR
Don't expect to be stuck in the 70's with every page though.Things are brought up to date with reviews of recent live gigs and recordings by the some of the 70's GREATS that are still performing as well as those by a growing number of contemporary acts that are inspired by them:GIUDA,GLAM SKANKS,THUNDERPUSSY and more
