Punk Rock

Reissued after 45 yrs

As the UK punk scene exploded with its raw energy and intensity, documentation was the last thought on anyone’s mind. Originally published in 1978 by Penguin, and described as “the first punk book”, Punk Rock by Virginia Boston (printed as Shockwave in the UK) is a must-have almanac, historical handbook, and visual and visceral reveal of a scene as it was bursting forth. As a London counterculture observer, writer Virginia Boston captured the Punk phenomenon from its beginnings in ’76, through the eyes of the punks themselves.
