Fracture was a punk rock fanzine produced in Cardiff, South Wales until 2003. Hailed as the UK's answer to the legendary Maximum RocknRoll, editor Monk Dave (also known as Dave Hopkins, formerly of the Mad Monks zine) and other regular contributors delivered the usual columns, interviews, reviews and rants with a passion and design quality atypical of most underground zines. Fracture was produces in newsprint and the last few issues had glossy full-colour covers.
Distributed throughout the UK through a tight knit network of shops, distros and promoters, and in the US by No Idea Records, Fracture was well-respected for its refusal to deal with unscrupulous businesses and for supplying the fanzine for free (or £1 postage-paid.) Dave stopped work on the fanzine (as well as the popular distro Assembly Line Music) to concentrate on the record label Newest Industry, established with his wife Jo in 2002.
