A 16-issue zine published between 1981 and 1988 in Hayward, California, BravEar was edited first by Lorry Flemming and later by Rory Cox, and published with attractive design by Mike Miro. In addition to coverage of the local alternative music scene, which included punk bands like Dead Kennedys and Camper Van Beethoven, it featured interviews with prominent musicians from further afield, such as U.S. bands Soul Asylum and Violet Femmes, the English singer Billy Bragg, and Scotland’s Cocteau Twins. Other articles considered Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen and decried U.S. militarization and the threat of nuclear war.
