Started by proprietors and editors Anthony Bullen and Anne Hollis (nee Panossian), Loaded to the gills (LTTG) was a music fanzine published in Camperdown for eight issues between 1993 and 1995. The zine’s main focus was local music, with most of the content being interviews, reviews, articles relating to the punk scene in Sydney, and how-to articles on DIY touring and recording, and production of zines. Other content included: cartoons, letters to the editor, poetry, and a section on the US punk scene by correspondent Andy. Notable local bands which were interviewed in LTTG include: Toe To Toe, Frenzal Rhomb, Unclean, Blitz Babiez, The Porkers, Bloodclot, and Lawnsmell. LTTG also featured interviews and articles on American bands Fugazi, Suicidal Tendencies, Bad Brains, and Easy Big Fella.
