Tear It Down is a zine made by music industries student Simone Barton, to celebrate POC in rock and metal scenes. Issues #1 celebrates the history of punk in the UK and US, focussing on the contributions of black individuals, from musicians to managers, who have helped shaped the iconic scene but are often left out of history.
Featuring a bio style feature of our cover star Poly Styrene, from British punk band X-ray Spex, it is our mission to raise the voices of the unheard in popular music.
