Dave Brown is about to release this book. Dave's photos have been featured in many books about hardcore and punk and he's finally coming out with one of his own. This one is different than most as Dave started taking photos at shows in the late 80s and on, so it's a good look at that era to present times. He's a good friends and great guy and I'm glad to see this finally coming out. It also comes with a great 7". I thought some of you might be interested:
------
This is an 88 page photobook, over 400 photos taken during the last 20 years by me...
AND it comes with a 7" of 'newer' bands that are in the book doing cover songs of 'old' bands that are also in the book...
DOWN TO NOTHING covering 'Price Of Silence' by Four Walls Falling with guest vocals by TAYLOR from 4 Walls...
KILL YOUR IDOLS covering 'The Edge' by Token Entry...
THE SLUMLORDS covering 'Right Wing Hype' by Gut Instinct with guest vocals from Sab from Gut Instinct...
CLOAK/DAGGER covering 'Escape from Your Society' by WarZone...
All 4 songs are EXCLUSIVE to this release... and are the final recordings from KYI & The Slumlords, recorded just prior to them breaking up.
AND also included in the book are anecdotes written just for my book by John Joseph(The Cro-Mags), Chaka Malik(Burn), Paul Bearer(Sheer Terror), Shawn Brown(Swiz), Taylor Steele(4 Walls Falling), Malcolm Tent(Trash American Style), Rob Fish(Release/108), Walter Schreifels(Gorilla Biscuits/Quicksand), Jon Field(Up Front), Jeff Perlin(Breakdown/Slumlords), and many others! Each person talks about surviving the adult crash of grown up life while still loving this music they grew up as fans of, and every one is great!
This book is a split release with my label, Vicous Circle Records, and my friend Dave at Six Feet Under Records.
This has been a multi-year project for me, and I am VERY excited it is finally coming out!
We will be announcing pre-orders later this month, and there will be a special version for pre-order folks, as well as a mailorder version too. You'll be able to get it from the regular distros as well as some stores... but to get colored vinyl you'll have to get it from either me or Dave/SFU.
