Med contributor Anthony Pappalardo’s book, Radio Silence: A Selected Visual History Of American Hardcore Punk (Powerhouse/MTV), comes out next month. The website Coolhunting recently featured the book, saying:
Loosely grouped by cover art style, the collection is not only visually compelling to the uninformed, its a truly innovative way to examine the almost 20 years worth of American hardcore output the book spans. The groupings, which ignore region and chronology, nonetheless hint at the multitude of styles and subgenres that emerged within the larger scene.
The site also printed some exclusive excerpts from the book (record covers pictured above and Antioch f–king Arrow triple threat below—sweet!).
Anthony also sent me this exclusive, two shots of Jeff Nelson’s Teen Idles jacket from 1979, which actually hangs in a gallery at the Experience Music Project in Seattle.
