Radio Silence

Albany Hardcore

Radio Silence is a selected visual history of American Hardcore Music. American punk kids who loved the speed and attitude of punk took hold of its spirit, got rid of the “live fast, die young” mind-set and made a brilliant revision: hardcore. The dividing line between punk and hardcore music was in the delivery: less pretense, less melody, and more aggression.”

I’m always facinated with the American hardcore scene of the 1980’s, there was a lot of heart and soul in the movement - what these kids were doing should be an inspiration to everyone, especially those of us in the creative world. This book takes a deeper look into the design and artwork of the time. Check out the mechanicals of Gorrilla Biscuits 12″ Start Today, pretty awesome to see this stuff.
