No Cure

No Cure was a Bracknell and Newbury, UK based fanzine. Originally started by Richard Haworth, from issue 2 it was part edited and produced by Richard Griffin and Richard H with regular contributions from Jah P. The fanzine had a large interest in the Berkshire scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s and covered punk, Oi! post punk and Reggae. Many of the interviews were conducted by mailing a cassette and list of questions which resulted in some very interesting discussion's between band members without the problem of an interviewer butting in (see also cassette culture). Bands interviewed ranged from The Jam and Stiff Little Fingers to The Raincoats, VIPs, Patrick Fitzgerald, LKJ and The Instant Automatons. The photographer Pennie Smith was also interviewed. A thousand copies of No Cure were sold each issue through record shops in Reading (Quicksliver), Windsor (Revolution) and London including Rough Trade. At one point it was the largest selling UK zine in New York.

Richard G later teamed up with Chris Green producing two issues of Bits fanzine and X Cassettes which released music from local bands like Quality Drivel, as well as groups from further afield. They were also involved in the promotion and distribution of a Reading area compilation LP Beyond the River released by Open Door records and featuring local bands such as Dig Dig Dig, El Seven, The Ballistics, The Erection Set, St Vitus Dance, Movita, Shrinking Men, A1 Vegetables, The Beating Hearts, Access and The Stills. Richard G was also involved with the short lived UK Fanzine Collective. Chris G went on to form Criminal Damage Records.

No Cure was the first Berkshire fanzine and championed local bands such as The Lemon Kittens Infra Red Helicopters and the K-9s.
