"The band equivalent of a 24-hour zine."

What started as a three-week experiment in the basement of Spiral House turned into an international zine-themed pop-punk phenomenon. When Steve Larder visited Portland from the UK in 2010, he "tricked" housemates Alex, Paul, and Marc into forming a band just in time for the Portland Zine Symposium. Two years, one French guitarist, and a UK tour later, Copy & Destroy was born.

A Novelty Size for a Novelty Band: In true DIY fashion, this is a 10" record—a specialized, "in-between" format for a band that plays lo-fi, high-energy pop-punk exclusively about zine culture. It features 7 tracks covering everything from zine fest romances to trade etiquette and the art of the copy scam.

Note on Vinyl Variants: These were pressed using Eco-Mix (recycled) vinyl. Your copy may arrive in classic red or a unique, swirled "Sidewalk Bubblegum" variant. Every record is a little different—just like a zine.

The Deluxe Package Includes:

• 10" Eco-Mix Vinyl Record: A unique novelty pressing featuring tracks like "24 Hour Zine Challenge."

• The Lyrics Zine: A companion zine packed with lyrics, cartoons, stories, and extended love/hate lists.

• Digital Download: Includes a code for the album plus the bonus live recording: Copy Scams Live At Leeds (Zine Fest).

The Lineup:

• Lead Vocals: Alex Wrekk

  Recorded and mixed by Boulty at Stuck on a Name Studios in Nottingham, England.
