Jolt
Jolt was a punk zine by Lucy Toothpaste.
Jolt was published in the 1970s in the UK. The first issue appeared in 1977.
Lucy Toothpaste focused on the women musicians in the punk scene. In an interview by Cazz Blase for The F-Word of May 2011, she said, ""I was already a feminist before I was a punk, so I brought my feminism with me into punk."
The second issue featured the first interview with The Slits, immediately after they had appeared in the tabloid News of the World expose of the shocking world of punk rock. The Slits boast that everything that had told the News of the World interviewer was made up.
The third issue featured an interview with Poly Styrene, from the band X-Ray Spex.
Lucy Toothpaste, now Lucy Whitman, continued writing for a number of publications after ending her zine.
