Historical Note
The Offense Newsletter was an alternative music fanzine published in Columbus, Ohio, from 1982 to 1989. The zine was edited by Tim Anstaett, who in the 1980s helped ignite the local Columbus punk and new wave scene by booking bands like The Cowboys at the south campus bar Mr. Brown’s. The fanzine was one of the primary sources in the United States for information on post-punk and goth acts of 1980s. Originally produced in book format as
The Offense from 1980-1982, the title was changed to
The Offense Newsletter in 1982, until it ceased publishing in 1989.
Scope and Contents
