Ancient Artifax

Radio Raheem, NY. 2024. First edition. Like new.

From the publisher:

"ANCIENT ARTIFAX showcases unearthed punk rock artifacts from the 1970s and 1980s through hundreds of images and supporting commentary from those who witnessed the birth of a counter-culture first-hand in the New York City, Washington DC, and Midwest scenes."

Good god this book drives me crazy; first off, Radio Raheem are the best doing it in the "archival punk" world. This book looks amazing, feels amazing, and whether the INSANE collection of punk archaeology within makes you stoked on wasting 20+ years of your life listening to tiny records and making bad decisions, or pissed off you tossed most of it when you had to leave your old apartment because you had a jerk-off roommate, it's worth having a copy on the shelf. Essential. Cheap too.
