‘Sorry for the w-eight!’ Interspersed with peppy interviews, hand-scribbled soliloquies, punny wordplay and 90s and 00s throwbacks, the zine-esque (in content, at least) Plates Of Meat is back. Returning after almost a year, this is their slimmer eighth issue, themed The Wait List.
Now glossy and staple-bound, it's the highly visual and youth-led read that we've come to expect, opening with a self-referential comic and followed by a piece on Black youth culture in Brockley, profiles of singer-songwriter Viji and NYC two-piece The Dallas Cowboys, an interview with CSM graduate India Hunnikin, and plenty of fashion shoots.
