Brian Walsby

Brian Walsby is an artist and musician who got his start in the thriving punk fanzine culture of the ‘80s. He has contributed artwork and interviews to many legendary zines over the years including Flipside, Maximumrocknroll, Razorcake and The Hitlist, among many others.

“The punk aesthetic is really just a ‘do it yourself’ aesthetic. It was cool to just do stuff and not worry about how good or bad it was. Back then I was just happy to be able to contribute to things.

Walsby has also played drums with many bands including Scared Straight, Wwax, Snake Nation and Polvo. He is currently the drummer for the heavy North Carolina-based trio The Magpie.
