Devil's Claw Distro

This is perhaps the fourth version of Devil's Claw Distro, but who's counting? As some of us get older, and perhaps a little wiser, we also seem to be getting a hang on this being 'organized' thing. This website is not only a place for us to promote the work we're doing and the projects we've created. It is also intended to be a resource, to share the projects and works, of other folks out there, from politics to rad projects.

Liberty

This is a broad topic that encompasses many modal frameworks towards a free society. We hope to be a resource for varying strains of thought, even if they are somewhat fractious because our members occupy several political niches. We hope to be unbiased in our portrayal of information as we come across it.


Absurdity

The political foray is often frustrating, headache-inducing, and can lead to burn out, or apathy. Our focus on absurdity is to poke fun at politics, to make attempts at levity, in a world that is already too full of vituperation and state or corporate-led drudgery.
Our humor may not always be your humor. If not, send us something that's up your alley, to share.


Ecology

Several members of the collective/ distro are students of ecology and environmental science/policy. Ecology is a major focal point for the distro, with a large focus on desert ecosystems.  While many people might find the desert a desolate place, they are overlooking the wide breadth of flora and fauna that carpets the desert. Through hiking events, zines, and craft events outdoors, we hope to share our love of the desert and ecology with others.

Submissions to Devil's Claw Distro

If you'd like to work with us, please send us an email with your zine, a link to your band, a picture of that rad new shirt you've been working on, or whatever project you've produced.
Any questions about payment, sharing, hosting, or events can be addressed most easily through email.
