Who knew the Bronx had punks? This shouldn’t come as a surprise, since several musical genres were born in the borough, starting with doo-wop in the 1950s, salsa in the ’60s and hip-hop in the ’70s. Now Roy Baizan has discovered another scene.

These photos show the punk scene in San Francisco in the 1970s – The Washington Post
Perspective | In service to the magic of the devious, a visual ode to the punks of San Francisco
From 1977 to 1980, Jim Jocoy photographed the San Francisco punk scene, from the stage to the bathroom stalls.
via Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/in-sight/wp/2017/08/02/in-service-to-the-magic-of-the-devious-a-visual-ode-to-the-punks-of-san-francisco/
Jim Jocoy became a student at the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1976, at the threshold of the San Francisco punk scene. It took only one year for him to become entranced by the scene, which included bands like the hardcore punk Dead Kennedys. Jocoy dropped out of school to spend his nights taking photographs that documented a completely different subculture in the city, the Summer of Love just a decade behind it.

Bay of punks: remembering when punk rock invaded San Francisco
The scene in the Bay Area was never chronicled in the same way as New York or Los Angeles. Now a new crop of photography books and projects are bringing San Franciscan punk into focus
via the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/feb/23/punk-rock-san-francisco-jim-jocoy-order-of-appearance
n early 1979, photographer Jim Jocoy attended an auction at the Peoples Temple in San Francisco. More than 900 of its worshipers had died in a mass suicide-murder which came to be known as the Jonestown massacre, led to their deaths by activist-turned-doomsday cultist Jim Jones. When Jocoy saw some of the followers’ left-behind luggage, he saw a symbol of Jones’ “hollow, empty promise”, and took a picture. “Jonestown, the assassinations – they worked into the fabric of San Francisco, and unraveled its tapestry,” Jocoy says. “It was quite gloomy, that summer of hate, and punk was the soundtrack.”

The Radical British Musicians Who Fought Racism With Rock – The New York Times
The Radical British Musicians Who Fought Racism With Rock
Syd Shelton’s photos capture the rise of the “Rock Against Racism” campaign — with glimpses of bands like the Clash, Matumbi and Sham 69 — that arose in Britain in the 1970s.
Rock Against Racism would be a turning point in British cultural, political and social history. The social movement helped put an end to an alarming ascendance of ultranationalism among white youth and articulated a new generational consciousness that transcended class and race boundaries.

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.

Back in the Punk Days, When CBGB Was the Place to Be
In his photographs of the 1970s music scene, David Godlis helped capture the grit and urgency of the era.
When David Godlis was shooting off-kilter, kinetic photos of bands like Television, Talking Heads and Blondie, he had a sense that the scene unfolding in the Bowery club CBGB was important. But no less vital than the sound being made was the punk aesthetic — urgent and gritty — that Mr. Godlis was helping define.

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.

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.

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.
