Rancid Soup One

Sit down and start choosing off the menu. Our disgusting waiting staff have torn a few samples off the pages of Rancid Soup’s first issue, especially for you.

A small confession: the scans aren’t the best. The masters are back in Malta, and these were scanned from my one and only stapled copy after migrating — so forgive the wear and tear. It’s the honest article, warts and all: staples, smudges and the raw enthusiasm of a teenager who’d just discovered that a zine was a thing you could actually make.

Have a look through the slideshow of sample pages on the archived site, or grab the PDF. Then step forward a year to the second issue — a proper leap on from this one — or head back to the full Rancid Soup story.
