Profane Existence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Profane Existence (referred to occasionally as 'P.E.') is a Minneapolis-based anarcho-syndicalist collective, known mostly for the zine it publishes quarterly, and Profane Existence Records, a label that deals mostly with anarcho-punk and crust punk.

Profane Existence began in December 1989, a part of the North American anarcho-punk movement. A prominent force in promoting anarchist punk/hardcore/metal bands, the collective oversees everything from establishing venues to founding DIY record labels. The magazine deals with many issues relevant to anarchist punks, such as veganism; animal, women's and minority rights; anti-fascist action and the punk lifestyle. It also covers anarchist music in general, interviewing bands in the scene and promoting DIY and anarchist activism worldwide.

Issue #50/51 is the most recent edition as of April 2006. The magazine has an avid worldwide following. The collective is referenced by former Minnesotans The Hold Steady on their album "Separation Sunday" in the song "Stevie Nix", which contains the lyrics "When we hit the Twin Cities, I didn't know that much about it / I knew Mary Tyler Moore and I knew Profane Existence".
