Vice is a great little pocket zine, with an old skool cut & paste style that is an aesthetic nod to the punk zines of the past.
The content is a collection of music reviews, cartoons, stories, lyrics, images, and snapshots taken directly from experience.
Issue #5 (October 2016) considers what happens when you experiment with sleep deprivation, what it's like working in a call centre, and the consequences of owning long living pets.
The latest issue #6 (January 2017) examines the people riding Amtrak trains, plus poems and stories inspired by "the time for love, hate, and all kinds of intangible imbalances".
In short Vice is a varied, interesting zine. And like the best kinds of zines - it fits in your pocket for those moments when rather than thoughtlessly scrolling through your phone, you can reach out and feel genuinely connected.
