riot fest — LOCK + LAND
riot fest
Riot Fest hit Denver this weekend with a lineup of 80 bands over three days of craziness. LOCK + LAND was there to document the debauchery. Clad in leather studded jackets, Misfit t-shirts, and mohawks for days, the crowd looked ready to riot, but really for as big as this event was, it was pretty mellow and awesome. It’s the thing about summer festivals…they’re loaded with tons of amazing bands, but you’re running around like crazy just trying to hit every one and stay hydrated. Even for three songs.

Sex, Drugs, and Punk Rock: Confessions of a 1980s Girl
In 1985, a teenage girl in Orange County ran away from home. She stayed away for one night and came back to her mother, who gave her a camera “as a coming home present.” Thirty years later, that young woman has grown to become photographer Deanna Templeton, but the camera continues to be the thread that ties her to her past as a passionate, punk-loving adolescent from suburbia.

Bold Portraits Document Skinhead Culture in the UK
Energy and passion are two forces that photographer Owen Harvey always strives for in his images. For years now, he’s been documenting youth and subcultures across the UK. Drawn in by their vibrancy and taste, Harvey has found it easy to integrate with these groups, enabling him to develop the intimacy that he’s so well achieved in these shots. Almost as a natural lead-on from his previous series Mod UK, Harvey has shifted the focus onto what he refers to as the Mod’s tougher older brothers, the Skinheads, who form the basis of his new ongoing project Skins.

The exhibit, “RIP DIY,” remembers Brooklyn’s lost DIY music venues.
In the last few years, skyrocketing rents and neighborhood changes have killed some of Brooklyn’s favorite DIY, or “do-it-yourself,” music venues. This month, they got one more celebratory send-off with an exhibit, “RIP DIY,” which was on display at Brooklyn’s Cloud City. Featuring the work of 20 photographers, it showed these independent venues during their glory days, when the bands were loud, the drinks were cheap (and often available for those under age), and the party seemed like it might never stop.

Iain McKell’s “Sub Culture” book
Wild Life Press have recently made their archived copies of Sub Culture by Lain Mckell available for the first time in thirty six years. Limited to just 150, Iain McKells revered Sub Culture book focuses on the UK’s 2 Tone movement during the years 1978/79. Initially intended as a self published portfolio for connecting with photographic agencies and galleries only a small number of the original copies were sold to the public through the legendary Claire de Rouen in London at that time. The rest then sat in Iain’s archive while the few in circulation garnered cult status in the secondary market trading from dealer to collector.

California Beach, California Punk: Sounds of Two Eyes Opening
Until now, Spot was known as the legendary hardcore punk producer/engineer who worked with such bands as the Misfits, Black Flag and Minutemen (among many others). But as the photos in this newly published book reveal, there was another side to this creative, sensitive mind all along. Besides offering an intriguing view from the perspective of an era’s central figure, the images also paint a wonderful picture of a period, a place, a style and a moment that was intensely lived but now remains with us only through the music, the memories and this newly revealed body of photographs

From Skinheads to Fashion: British Photographer Gavin Watson Discusses His Career
I photographed it because I was a coward — I’ve never asked a stranger if I could take their photograph. I was safe with my friends. That’s why I was a skinhead — because I felt safe, and safe to photograph them. My thoughts at the time about being a professional photographer was doing weddings or whatever! (Laughs) It wasn’t until someone other than my mates saw them and said ‘fucking hell!’”
