Welcome to the website of Ripped & Torn fanzine. This is not just some nostalgia trip but covers cultural and curious strands that are interesting, relevant and current.

No limits, the way I felt when starting Ripped & Torn in 1976. Everything interesting was included. Punk meant everything; by punks for punks meant it was relevant; then and now. So here we are punk as ever but with even more stuff going on; punk plus. I still believe in all of it.

“When it comes to fanzines, if someone cites Ripped & Torn you know they were really there,”
Tom Vague (cultural historian).

Ripped & Torn was a punk fanzine which ran from November 1976 to March 1979. ‘By punks for punks’,
that’s was the fanzine’s statement and this website continues the aim.
