Who We Are
A group of strangers from all over the globe came together with one goal in mind: to commemorate the once in a lifetime experience of a worldwide quarantine that coincidentally aligned with the March 12th debut of the song "Caution". And so was born Caution! Vol. 1: Imploding The Lockdown.
As time raged on, however, the zine grew to encompass so much more than just the lockdown period. Vol. 2: Sweet Talk was published in December 2020 and Vol. 3: When We Were Young with 80% more content, more contributors and more goodies.
Caution! Zine is only a small sample of the inspiration, and the hope that the band and their music has fostered within us. It is a testament to the fanbase's dedication, a love letter to a band who was there for us before, during, and after the lockdown.
CAUTION! IS OFFICIALLY PUBLISHED!
Our lovely Chief Correspondent, May has written a beautiful essay piece regarding the founding and origin of Caution! Zine.
The essay shares the soul connection and global dimensions of our online fandom to the veins of The Killers.
From our early initial days of the COVID19 Pandemic to the now ever shifting, ebbed and flow of technologies of music, communication, social and cultural dynamics throughout the years. All linking to our ever growing, life-altering, and changing community.
Utilizing our platform, Caution! Zine as an example of shifting and importance of our thriving social and cultural interactions within The Killers fandom.
