Wonka Vision


Wonka Vision was an American music magazine.

History

While Justin Luczejko was attending high school, he started Wonka Vision with two friends in 1998; a twenty-page zine that they copied at an OfficeMax store. Philadelphia City Paper describes Wonka Vision as an "ambitious music and pop culture zine started as a creative outlet for a kid stranded in suburbia." The name comes from the 1971 film, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. In 2001 Wonka Vision also became a record label. Wonka Vision ceased publication in 2010.

Content

Wonka Vision contains interviews, reviews, poetry, indie-punk and zine reviews, and "pointed leftist rants and bits of kitschy minutiae." The cover is printed in full color. Guitarist Colin Frangicetto did photography for the magazine. In a 2008 interview with South Philly Review, Luczejko explains that Wonka Vision "do art, politics, anything that's sort of underground, on that edge it's not just rock, we do hip-hop-always have-I grew up listening to rap, indie rock, hardcore, we've done what we love." The bimonthly magazine featured interviews, album reviews, and pop culture articles.
