Jas Toomer

Jas Toomer was a participant and writer within the British DIY punk and hardcore scene around the turn of the millennium, remembered by contemporaries for sustained involvement in local gigs, fanzines and the social networks that held the scene together. Surviving punk publications and later recollections describe him as an active, widely known figure rather than a distant commentator: he contributed writing to zines, travelled to shows and was remembered after his death in a car accident through memorial gigs and dedications from musicians and friends.

Fracture #11 from March 2000 contains a named Jas Toomer column, while Issue #16 from spring 2001 includes memorial material devoted to him.
