Who we are and what we do It's all about independent music, independent art and independent skateboarding... ...because to us, it's all connected. We are musicians, writers, artists, skateboaders, photographers, record collectors and music lovers, movie geeks and graphic designers. [Yes, print. Like, on real paper. Did you ever try to carry an online magazine around in your bag or take it to the toilet with you?] It's all about THE feeling. About how it feels to see a band in a dirty sweaty basement with 5 other people, about how you just can't explain the feeling of riding your skateboard on a summer night, why NOTHING ever can compare. GLW/DRK is for people who can relate. It's for, about and made by people who feel and know that THE feeling is the best thing in the world, ever. It's all about soul. It's about growing up and sticking to your ideals, and looking damn good while you're at it. GLW/DRK is for everyone who is still looking for Animal Chin. GLW/DRK is for those who actually go out and try to find music that's new and hot and exciting, instead of being content with what's been spoonfed. GLW/DRK is for you - if you find the design of a skateboard deck just as inspiring as the tricks that are done on it. GLW/DRK certainly is NOT about following the trends and rules and taking the easy way. There are too many magazines already that trade ad space for good reviews, too many interviews that never go beyond the "how's the tour been so far" basics, too many boring, lifeless, soulless articles about too much boring, lifeless, soulless SHIT. We are here to stay. Be very afraid. What others have to say about us "Jedem der Schreiber merkt man jahrelange Szeneaktivitäten und immer noch anhaltenden Enthusiasmus an. Ich kann mich nicht erinneren, jemals ein großes buntes Punkrockmagazin gesehen zu haben, welches so persönlich und ehrlich wirkte. Das hat nicht einmal das amerikanische Punk Planet geschafft! Jeder noch so kleine Fleck dieses Heftes wirkt liebevoll gestallt." - Trust "Die studentische Version dessen, was das Boardstein macht: Punkrock und Skateboardfahren in einem Heft zu verarbeiten. Dabei sind die Dortmunder Kollegen kleinteilig arbeitende, liebe Spinner, während hier Ästheten zugange waren. (...) Schön auch die Foto-Seiten, und sowieso hat das Heft einfach was: okayne Attitüde trifft Stilsicherheit in Sachen Layout." - Ox "...managed to combine their love for the underground with a professional and high standard for layout, composition and writing." - FoMP.de "...mein erster Eindruck: ein verdammt stylisches Printmagazin. Das österreichische Gegenstück zum Lodown Magazin. Für diejenigen, welchen das Aussehen des Bretts genauso wichtig ist, als das was man damit machen kann." - bavarian-outback.de "Finden wir gut. Finden wir besser." - skateboard.de "I think I read through this in one day or something (Toilet breaks only! Yeah, I shit a lot.) and never got bored." - Bats! Mag "Ich bin mir sicher, daß es sich zu einer festen Größe in der (internationalen) Zinelandschaft etablieren wird!" - Thoughts Fanzine "Hier haben Musik-, Kunst-, und Skatefans eine neue, interessante Zeitschrift aus dem Boden gestampft, der man das Herzblut der Macher bei jeder einzelnen Seite anmerkt." - breitband.at "If there is something more exciting than a skater boy with an atttitude, it must be a skate magazine with an edge, such as Glow In The Dark Magazine from Vienna. Sweet Mister Thomas has a nose for DIY style, so he did the most amazing interview with me - about la fille d’O and why I do shows like I do with hardcore bands like Amen Ra; all of that and much more in this underground/top of the line magazine." - la fille d'O "Auch wenn das englischsprachige Glow In The Dark mit der zweiten Ausgabe quasi noch in den Kinderschuhen steckt, ist es doch schon ganz erwachsen. (...) Gerne mehr von diesem Mag. Interessanter Musikgeschmack." - Trust "The choice of topics is so awesomely great. This zine is a real gem!" - www.yellowisthenewpink.com
