The editors of Sobriquet Magazine are pleased to announce an ongoing electronic project, the Sobriquet Magazine Encyclopedia of Punk Rock.

Writers should ideally have significant knowledge of punk rock music and culture as well as experience writing for encyclopedias aimed at a general audience.

A non-profit publication, Sobriquet cannot pay for contributions but will include a byline for each entry.

We are currently looking for essays on the following bands, people, and zines. Although we plan on adding a great deal more, we would like to begin with entries from this preliminary list:
