In 1971, a good friend and concert-going buddy, Mark A Jones, suggested we put out a rock and roll fanzine to answer all those intellectual idiots who were writing reviews of rock and roll music as if it were a scholastic exercise. He also suggested the name, denim delinquent. So, we set out to do what we could with very little in the way of pioneers to follow. We of course had read Bomp! but we knew we could never be that good, so we went another direction. We just celebrated the music, the times and goofiness of what this crazy music did to oneselves. Plus, we didn't even dare think about publishing anything that would be read by anyone outside of Ottawa. It was our own local crazed music magazine.

The first issue was tentative, with an interview of a local 50's doowop band, Bolt Upright and the Erections. Reviews of the Kinks and other personal favourites were included. A quiet but satisfactory start.
