Oilslick Magazine (Magazine)

Oilslick Magazine is a magazine/web magazine started in February 1978 by John "Crash" Hannett and Michael Vilaski, as a punk magazine. It has managed to stay afloat for a very long time, other than a few short hiatuses, no more than a month ever. In 1999, the Oilslick website was started as an alternate place to receive the magazine, with free memberships, with only limited select articles viewable, and paid memberships, which costed slightly less than a magazine subscription but also allowed viewing of special online-exclusive content. In 2009, Oilslick became web-only, printing their last new magazine-only issue in July of 2009. From 1989 to 2008, some issues would contain a demo disc of small-time bands' music, and sometimes full retail compilations.
