Punk 45: The Singles Cover Art of Punk 1976–80 (Book)
This 380+ page flexibound book is a revelatory guide to hundreds and hundreds of original seven-inch record cover sleeve designs—visual artifacts found at the heart of the most radical and anarchistic musical movement of the 20th century. The revolutionary do-it-yourself ethic of punk was applied to the aesthetic of design as much as it was to music, and record sleeves acted as lo-fi signifiers of anarchy, style, fashion, politics and more with an urban and suburban invective courtesy of the th…

Her exuberant commentaries, each presented as a sta…
I'm Sure We're Gonna Make It - Punk In The Netherlands 1976-1982 (Book)
'I'm sure we're gonna make it' is the first time English edition of the 1996 book 'Het gejuich was massaal', detailing punk in the Netherlands from 1976 to 1982 from Jeroen Vedder and Jerry Goossens.

This book is 184 pages, with full-colour photos, record covers, a fanzine section, and all of this…
Lunatic Asylum
Joke Lanz and Sudden Infant once again return in their razor-sharp trio setting whereby the absurdist nature that Joke’s work is already cut with is reconfigured in a gnarled and beefy punk-fucked contorted rock setting. Short bursts of angular flex are heavily propelled by depth-charge rhythms, wry lyrical musings on modern living, and sensibilities hatched from years of experience in the worlds of sound art, abstract music, industrialised junk-noise and related areas have manifested in the per…
Suspicious Moon
A collection of Elvis Presley covers recorded by the duet David Fenech & Pierre Bastien
Gona Rubian Ranesa
*Edition of 218. Tip!* Reynols is a storied band with endless lore. Many history lessons have been written about them, still they remain one of the world's most mysterious and challenging groups. "Gona Rubian Ranesa" is Reynols' first studio album in 17 years and it updates their classic sound to new realms of hypnotic psych-rock immersion. This record was cut by the classic Argentinian quartet of Miguel Tomasin, Anla Courtis, Rob Conlazo and Pacu Conlazo and it stands as 100% proof that Reynols…
Entry Points. Resonating Punk, Performance, and Art
*2020 stock. Edition of 200. 52 pages, Risograph printed artist book with CD* During the late 1960s and early 1970s, as members of the performance art group Exit, Penny Rimbaud and Gee Vaucher turned to creating outside of the gallery system and artistic conventions. Taking inspiration from Eastern philosophy, particularly Buddhism and Taoism, they searched for ways to push beyond the boundaries of Western art practices and rationalities.
This resonates with Redza Piyadasa and Suleiman Esa’s 19…
A Taste Of DNA
First-ever reissue of an important slab by DNA who were among NYC’s handful of influential No Wave iconoclasts documented in the Brian Eno-produced No New York compilation.
Everything Is Shit. Punk In Brussels 1977-79
An incredible energy took over Brussels at the onset of the Eighties. It is a strange and rare feeling when you tell yourself that something is happening. And it always happens through an accumulation of very small facts. Then, suddenly, it is there. This collection basically attempts to capture this emerging will. But before that, there was punk rock. In Brussels, it was a handful of venues, improvised concerts, a few dozens of people recognizing each other, and a festival that gathers everyone…
Plastic Box
" Plastic Box is a a 'metal box' fascinating companion, plotting the evolution and subsequent degradation of the experimental impulse that saw its apex in 1979. Tracks like “Albatross” have always been passed off as autobiographical by Pistols-watchers who believed that Lydon could only ever refer to Lydon, but the power of Metal Box lies in Lydon’s ability to forget: himself, his past, and so to move around the landscape like a ghost, to be free of his own history in order to fully invest…
