Throttle (magazine)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Throttle was an independent alternative music and culture magazine based in Richmond, Virginia. Throttle was founded in 1981 by Peter Blake, Dale Brumfield and Bill Panelas, all former editors of the Virginia Commonwealth University student newspaper, The Commonwealth Times. From its inaugural issue in January, 1981 (with original cover art by Frank Zappa), Throttle grew to become the voice of the burgeoning punk and art community in and around Richmond throughout the eighties and nineties. During it peak years, the magazine claimed a circulation of over 30,000. The magazine published its final issue in 1999.
