M.Y.O. DISTRO: February 2011

M.Y.O. is the acronym of MAKE YOUR OWN and synonymous to Do It Yourself or Make It Yourself. It’s an underground diy activities based in Tayabas, Quezon (Philippines) fueled by passion and dedication to support the diy local and foreign subculture music scenes.
The D.I.Y. activities of M.Y.O. was started way back in 1995 when husband and wife tandem "Gani & Adie" started to make a diy cut and paste typewritten fanzine known as MAKE YOUR OWN ZINE, the first and only punkzine for animal awareness in the local punk scene during the 90’s because Gani is an animal lover and a licensed Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. We had released a total of four issues of Make Your Own Zine and two issues of HEART’S DESIRE JOURNAL (a personal zine done by Adie). We also released four issues of free newsletter called BANAHAW D.I.Y. NEWSLETTER. These underground reading materials (except Heart’s Desire Journal) were distributed to all our friends in the local and international diy punk scenes thru old-fashioned postal networking system also known as "snail mail".
That same year when we created another diy project called M.Y.O. DISTRO. We started to distribute then local and foreign diy xerox copied zines, free newsletters, diy and pro-printed cassette tapes (demo and full-length album), CDs, 7”EPs, LPs, books, anarchopunk pamphlets, patches, pins, posters, various imported punk and hardcore printed magazines like Profane Existence, Inside Front, Bamboo Girl, Contrascience, No Idea Zine, Toxic Flyer Fanzine, Join Kao, Aneurysm, Screams From Inside, Counterculture, Stubby Fingaz, Class War, Heartattack, and we became the official distributor in our country of the famous international networking punk zine known as Slug & Lettuce.
Year 2003 when M.Y.O. became inactive in the local scene due to some problems with our busy schedules, but after 4 years of hibernation, we’re back in action in 2007 to support again the scene.
M.Y.O. Distro is still alive and kicking! This is our passion, a way of helping to promote camaraderie among the people who are into counterculture music scene. This is our tribute to the scene and we do it because we believe in it!
