a picture of punk rock



A friend of mine, C.A. Vanaria has just published a beautiful book documenting the punk and rock scene in Boston, during the heyday of the 80's. The Boston Years 1979-1986 features stunning photography of bands like Anthrax, B-52s, Billy Idol, The Jam, The Shirts, Talking Heads, The Clash, Tom Petty, X, and XTC before any of the 'uncool' people even knew about them.

This is a great trip down memory lane for aging punks, and a wonderful photographic history lesson for those born in the 90's. Her shots are nothing short of historic. You should buy this today.

I'm still pissed that she got to see XTC, and I didn't.
