Scrud was a Santa Cruz zine published 1979-1980 by Scot E., Myk Erxn and Chris X. All of them were in their early teens. As the Santa Cruz underground scene had no other publication at the time -- the closest thing being Good Times -- Scrud was taken quite seriously, despite being hand-lettered/typewritten and printed on a xerox machine. It was sold at Cymbaline Records, and the Small Nambas referred to it in their song "Famous in Santa Cruz." (Nancy Tracy, who worked at Cymbaline and was the Nambas' bassist, was a Scrud contributor.) Scrud's biggest coup was an interview with The Ramones by Scot E., conducted backstage when the band played at the Civic Auditorium.
