On its tenth issue Rancid News changed its name to Last Hours with 7 issues published under this title before going on hiatus.

Last Hours ( known as Rancid News prior to 2005 ) is an anti-authoritarian publishing collective.

From 2003 to 2008 it produced a fanzine, initially called Rancid News until issue 9, changing its name to Last Hours from issue 10 till the final issue, 17, in May 2008.

At its inception Rancid News was a punk zine, which began circulation in April 2003 with interviews from AFI, One Minute Silence, and Johnny Truant, alongside articles, columns and reviews.

Rancid News was initially launched at a time when the Fracture and Reason To Believe zines were still in existence.

After those publications ceased, Rancid News assumed their mantel documenting the UK punk scene.

A key difference between Rancid News and the aforementioned zines is that Rancid News was sold outside gigs, and in record and comic stores rather than being available free.

Rancid News was often connected with the Household Name records scene, featuring most of the label's bands between 2003 and 2005.

Rancid News was also distributed by many of the Household Name Records bands, including Five Knuckle, Captain Everything !, Adequate Seven, Howards Alias, and Antimaniax amongst others.

At its height Rancid News distributed around 4, 000 copies around the UK and Europe.

In early 2005 the name Rancid News was considered a hindrance.

The final issue of Rancid News, published in February 2005, gave an indication of the changing direction, with a greater emphasis on radical culture in general and with particular focus on political articles, vegan recipes and longer columns.

The print production remained the same as Rancid News until issue 13, when the fanzine again changed direction with the first perfect bound edition, and an issue dedication to ' Punk rock and comics '.

In addition to putting on gigs members of the Last Hours / Rancid News collective have been involved in a number of squatted social centres, for example in 2003 with involvement in the Blackstar collective, 2004 with the In Arms Reach collective, which squatted a building off London's Oxford Street for a two week punk festival, and 2005 at the Institute for Autonomy on Gower Street, London.
