Punk Promises

My two fascinations come together in this informative book: Punk culture and Body Art. If you enjoy these as well, I recomend. The only problem is that it is getting older by the day...copyright 1995. Good for old school review but nothing current available in the past 12yrs.

great pictures and reasoning behind punk and tribal style

It was very informative as far as the philosophies behind the punk and neo tribal style. There is a big section on Perry Farrel (lead singer for Janes Addiction) and his reasoning behind punk and neo tribal style. It really makes you think. You don't have to be punk to enjow this book and it's contents. I would definetely recommend this book!
