This review is from: Fucked Up + Photocopied: Instant Art Of The Punk Rock Movement (Hardcover)
I have been involved in the punk scene since 1978 and this book really captures the art, the energy and the feelings of punk. No book could cover everything but I swear this book has fliers from every significant band and scene in it. I especially enjoyed the short articles and poems from punks in each scene. If you are interested at all buy this book.

amazing,

This review is from: Fucked Up + Photocopied: Instant Art Of The Punk Rock Movement (Hardcover)
An absolutely gorgeous book. Even if you don't [care] about punk rock, it would still be fascinating.This is also an exceptional historical document. The history of the margins is lost so easily -- a book like this does a tremendous service to posterity. As to the guy from SF who says that this book distorts history and gives "unnatural significance to marginal bands..." Well, it probably does, and so what??!! [....]
