David insurrection

- £19.99

Anarco Punk in the 80s truly rocked the boat, much more than music it set out to change the world, and in a not insignificant way did just that. It inspired a generation of activists, artists and musicians to take up the fight for a better, fairer world and this is their story.
As we returned to the embattled 1970s and 1980s David takes us on a journey where we visit some of the scene's most significant locations in hotspots, to places where change mattered, and the spirit of revolt burned brightest

Marla Watson was 19 when she started taking pictures at punk rock shows in Southern California. Her work spans the 80s, not so professional, Marla picked up a Pentax K-1000, made a press pass and she was on the stage taking photos. These photos have sat in a box untouched for 40 years. Now Marla is sharing her photography with the world in her first book, my punk rock life.

The early 1990s was a good time for punk zines, the DIY Ethic and the ‘anyone can do it’ attitude was a driving force. BHP rode that wave and infused each issue with enthusiasm, dedication and a love for the scene, it's bands and its people - Tony Suspect, Suspect Device zine.
BHP was one of the many voices reaching out to the UK Hardcore scene during the 90s, but it always did so with passion and purpose, something that was all too often lacking in its fellow publications and Hardcore brethren. To those of us who read and consumed it, it's poked our hearts and minds and allowed us into the world of the bands with whom we shared stages and dance floors. BHP spoke and we listened. And you should too... - Tim condo, Mass Movements Zines .
Zines were huge an integral part of the scene, and away that's quite hard to explain to people who have come of age in a more connected immediate digital world. I read those inky pages like manuals or manifestos, and watch my knowledge of music and a view of the world is still influenced by those words. - Frank Turner, Singer / Songwriter
