Firehouse has created posters for rock bands including Pavement, Pearl Jam, the Beastie Boys, Hole, and the Rolling Stones. Although the artists of the Firehouse Kustom Rockart Company, aka Chuck Sperry and Ron Donovan, have worked with numerous major rock bands, they have maintained their street credibility by furnishing posters for such events as Incredibly Strange Wrestling, which mixes punk bands and Mexican wrestlers. This book contains a rich sampling of their signature silkscreen technique that blends splendid artistry with impeccable craftsmanship -- an eye-popping collection of the rock and roll posters and ephemera that made this studio famous.
