Back in Print! Hardcore Architecture by Public Collectors. $8.00 [PURCHASE]
A fresh reprint of the full color, photo-filled booklet from Public Collectors for the much-publicized project Hardcore Architecture. Hardcore Architecture explores the relationship between the architecture of living spaces and the history of American hardcore bands in the 1980s. Other underground or marginal forms of music are sometimes included in the project where applicable. Band addresses in this booklet were discovered using contact listings found in demo tape and record reviews published from 1982-89 in the magazine Maximum RocknRoll. Google Street View was used to capture photos of the homes. Street names and numbers are removed to respect the privacy of people currently living at these addresses.
In addition to a five page essay on the project, its findings so far, and its methodology, this booklet includes photos of 66 different band-related houses. Among the bands included are: The Crucifucks, The Didjits, The Offenders, Cryptic Slaughter, Koro, Capitalist Casualties, Poison Idea, Breakdown, Pussy Galore, Sonic Youth, Dead Virgins, Urge Overkill, Rights of the Accused, Organ Donors, Phantom Tollbooth, Uniform Choice, End Result, Murphy’s Law, Impulse Manslaughter, No Use for a Name, Suburban Mutilation, N.O.T.A., and many more.
Recommended for fans of underground music culture, parents with children that play in bands, architects, and real estate agents! To distribute these booklets, contact me. All orders will come with some Hardcore Architecture stickers and maybe some other goodies if you order extra stuff. 2. #### 15 Dec 5 notes
