đźš‚ ISSUE #7 OUT NOW

Fresh, hot, niche print media!

Hello there!

Train Songz #7 — “Must Be Zeven” — is here.

covers by the amazing @appalachrin.art

The Instagram post is up, as well. It helps a lot if you give it a like, comment, or share. The more engagement a post gets, the more likely the social media fairies are to show content to new people who might discover the zine.

If you’re already subscribed: Sit tight and let me know if your address changed. It should be heading your way in about two weeks by the time we finish printing and stuffing over a thousand envelopes. The endless wonders of physical media!

If you’re interested in subscribing: You can do so now and you’ll get #5, #6, and #7 as soon as we can mail them and #8 when it comes out in the fall. $33–$99 for four annual issues. Every dollar helps us invest more back into growing the zine and paying more artists for sharing their talents with Train Songz.

If you want to just order this individual issue: We offer that, as well. $11 or above. Call it $10+ for the zine and $1 for shipping. Pay what you want, above our breakeven price.

If contributing isn’t in the budget right now, we also give away one free zine for every 10 sold. Request a copy.

What’s Inside #7?!

  • A few essays!

  • Art and comics!

  • An interview with East Nash Grass about their new record!

  • A new take on setlist data!

  • Even more histories of old songs! We can’t get enough!

  • A guest essay from Grant Gordy!

  • A crossword!
