Original CRYPTIC TYMES #3 — Winter 1992, an underground Canadian garage rock, punk, psychedelic and trash-culture fanzine edited and published by Alan “Dr. Weasel” Wright.
Issue #3 — Winter 1992
Not a modern reproduction — this is an original DIY fanzine from the early-1990s underground garage/punk scene.
Cryptic Tymes covered obscure and emerging garage, punk and psychedelic bands from Canada and around the world and has become an interesting surviving document of the pre-internet independent music scene.
This issue includes material relating to an extensive selection of bands and artists including:
Billy Childish
Mono Men
14th Wray
Hoods
Cattle Circle
Evil Hoodoos
The Steppes
The Smugglers
Huevos Rancheros
Marble Orchard
Void Section
Watch Children
Overflows
and many more.
The original masthead identifies:
Editor / Layout / Articles: Alan “Dr. Weasel” Wright

Alan Wright was an active participant in the North American garage/punk underground, publishing fanzines including What Now?, Cryptic Tymes and Do The Pop! and playing drums in several garage/punk bands.
Excellent piece of Canadian underground music history and particularly interesting for collectors of early garage punk, psychedelic rock, Billy Childish memorabilia and original DIY fanzines.
