SV27 - "To A Fault" by Nick Steinhardt

This is Secret Voice #27

30 years since “The Big One” struck LA. Though technically epicentered in Reseda, The 1994 Northridge Earthquake profoundly affected this Valley native who still remembers the moments vividly.

As a young adult living in a feebly structured “dingbat” apartment, I began finding and
buying associated ’94 ephemera, reading about Los Angeles being “overdue,”
wondering what was to come if the ground shook everything loose again.
What truly fascinated me on the years long journey was how many unique designs there (assumedly still) are out there from this internet nascent, pre-print-on-demand market. Who made them? Where were they sold?

This zine represents a decade of obsessing, questioning, and worrying through
collecting

“One of the things that bond Nick and I’s friendship so close together - beyond the music we make and the art we’ve collaborated on, is our love for archiving / collecting obscure things that are important to us or that we are fascinated by. When it became clear that Nick’s obsession with these shirts came as a response to the impact the Earthquake had on him as a child, my appreciation for what he was doing grew tenfold. To showcase this collection as an LA native is a project I am thrilled to be a part of.” - Jeremy Bolm
