Review

"F*#king sh!t this book rules. I was doubtful Bryan Ray could top F*cked up
and Photocopied. Wrong! With more flyers, personal reflections, and new
additions like buttons, zines and photography. Punk is dead, Punk is
Everything makes me want to give up making books and pick up an application
at the local Taco Bell! Thanks a million, a**hole! --Aye Jay / Author - Heavy Metal Fun Time Activity Book

We need books like this to serve as the inscrutable evidence of the losers and the drunk, hopeful teens with their best bad ideas in full flower....
To remember punk as it really happened. --Jessica Hopper - Chicago Tribune / This American Life

Product Description

Punk is Dead exposes the lasting impact of Punk on visual culture worldwide. Hundreds of flyers, photos, set lists, vintage fashions and other ephemera from all of your favorite bands are jammed into this menacing volume.

Contributing writers such as Wayne Kramer, Arturo Vega, Kid Congo, David Yow, Annie Anxiety, Duane Peters, Marc McCoy, Tony Alva, Don Bolles, Trudie and Pat Smear, flesh out the visual assault. This long awaited follow-up to the highly influential bestselling book Fucked Up + Photocopied - Instant Art of the Punk Rock Movement also features hard hitting interviews with Ian Mackaye, one of the most respected voices of the DIY music underground, and Malcolm McLaren, likely the most impactful promoter of the early punk movement. From the unknown to the infamous, they will likely be found within the pages of Punk is Dead, Punk is Everything!

5.0 out of 5 stars Punk is Dead, but this book has everything..., September 17, 2009

By	Vaughn R. Zeitzwolfe "sonichemist" (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a fantastic, hard-bound piece of punk history... the layout is full color and gorgeous. All the scrappy bits of punk history in the form of flyers and playbills, arranged in a truly punk fashion, lacking repetition and never boring.... this is the quintessential punk coffee table book! And incredibly cheap, too. Get one before they're all gone!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Killer book, punk hardcore to the max, January 8, 2009

By	Patrick West "changezine" (NYC, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is one you gotta get and keep. Once you get yer hands on it, no way will you depart with it. The thing just commands respect.

I hate to sound like some nerd but i am blown away but the size and thickness of this thing. Hardcover monstrosity! Tons of images, tales, opinions all with a wild graphic yet not "arty" layout and design.

i actually wish there was more writing and theories since the guys behind it and the hardcore celebs featured seem very interesting in their writing. But i'll take all the visuals. hey, all us hardcore kids like books with big pictures!
