Perhaps the best French rock fanzine. Published between 1980 and 1988, created by Aline Richard and Patrice Herr Sang in June 1980, New Wave was the zine of the second French punk wave (after that of 1977). Its title is also misleading. It was not the New Wave in Soft Cell or Joy Division style, but a wave of new trends and new rock talent.
On the program of this issue 7 : Marquis de Sade, Plasmatics, Rock against racism, rock in Mexico, record reviews… all in a layout and a neat format that made the legend of the fanzine.
