Our History

LOOSE SQUARES! LOOSE SQUARES! LOUD LOUD LOUD!​

loose square is slang in Chicago for a single cigarette, you'd generally hear this while taking the train from a person trying to sell you one, I have been on both ends of this paradigm. SOOO why the fuck are we calling this zine loose squares, yah ask? Well one day at the skatepark punk 79 came up to me and said, "i wanna make a zine with you." he handed me a pack of newport shorts with a bunch of 35mm film and polaroid's in it. I knew instantly what to call the zine, it was a pack of squares with a new kind of square in it, photos. This lead us to making the 1st edition of loose squares, during the making of the 2nd edition we came to the conclusion that we both have “colorful” pasts, creating an interesting and diverse network. loose squares will become the most badass, in your fucken face zine, no fucks zine around. Starting with #3 the LSZ will include interviews from people within skateboarding, art, music, and even street life. With many more articles, This is only the beginning and we are continually improving upon this mission. We look forward to seeing you all along the way.
