PUNKROCKPAPERSCISSORS is a one-of-a-kind tribute to '80s punk rock and
hardcore, archiving over 600 show flyers that exemplify the scene's unfettered
creativity and DIY ethic. The flyers feature Northeastern U.S. clubs such as the
legendary CBGB, City Gardens, The Showplace, The Pipeline, The Pyramid, Wally's
Place, The Ritz, and more.
Reproduced in this 240-page, oversized book
are flyers for some of punk rock's most influential important bands, including
Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat, Gorilla Biscuits, Youth of Today, Agnostic Front,
AOD, Fear, GBH, Murphy's Law, Warzone, Kraut, and hundreds more. Also featured
is a section dedicated to Black Flag and an “All Danzig” section,
focusing on Samhain, The Misfits, and Danzig.
Raw and rough, reproduced
in scratchy black-and-white on photocopiers and plastered on walls and windows,
these hand-made advertisements represent the raucous world of punk hardcore in
the 1980s. And now for the first time, with PUNKROCKPAPERSCISSORS, they're being
archived as an important record of an indelible creative
movement.
