WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
To be transparent, in my younger days I bought a fair few zines and second hand vinyl - always as described and at a good price - from Trev, with no complaints 
(He was always quite mean to Andy Shocker though)
I think Ripping Thrash might be starting up again. Active Distribution has a good range of pamphlets.
Think Fozzie Bear is abreast of more modern zine stuff?

Inflammable Material seems decent.
Raising Hell zine is still going! Raising Hell Fanzine (@raisinghellfanzine) • Instagram profile and Active have copies. There is also an anthology.
I am less up on zines these days alas. They all went a bit arty and expensive... grump grump.

putting up a hook to hang my hopes upon
Germany-based Black Mosquito sell a few, might be worth a look. Also, they're great.

Distribution/buters.
Not sure on some of those I've quickly seen on AD, all look a bit too lifestyle for me. What happened to 'Bun Down Babylon'?!
(Sorry, can't offer much here, zines never really did much for me)

Yeah, basically Active for the UK and Black Mosquito for EU are the best ones going that I'm aware of. Went to a zine fair recently and had a similar grump about how zine makers who went to art school don't seem to have much of a "pay no more than" ethic, but saw Pen Fight Distro who seemed like a fairly proper oldschool distro (oldschool as in the good old days of the 2000s/early 2010s):
penfightdistro.com
And they have this zine event calendar if that's of any use to anyone:
penfightdistro.com
There's also the zine wiki:
But I dunno how reliable that is cos I looked at it, went "blimey, is Marching Stars still going?" and clicked through to learn that they stopped in 2015.
Think Profane Existence is still going as a distro but not a zine.
pen fight – queer & feminist zines, books, art, DIY & tiny press.

Events from September 6 – October 12 – pen fight

Oh, and there's this lot as well - from a quick glance they seem to be more interested in the kinds of hardcore that I'm not that bothered about, but then my tastes aren't everyone's:

The name sounds vaguely familiar, but can't say I know them.
