Mix Tapes and Photo Albums is a coming of age story that challenges the critics who claim that punk died in ’79 by sucking us into basement shows where the bass throbs in our chests, the smoke stings our eyes, and the energy overtakes us. Philosophy is defined through three minute songs to a mosh pit of believers where bruises are worn as trophies. Each poem assumes the title of a song which creates the soundtrack to a group of teenagers who push the boundaries of their small town, test where they fit, and find solace in their local punk rock scene.

This poetic mix tape sings to the kids who will hear their first Sex Pistols song, start their own bands, write their own zines, scrawl Xs on their hands, and create their own communities; and those kids who remember. Mix Tapes and Photo Albums gives faith to those to know punk’s not dead, but thriving in the streets of small towns everywhere, just waiting for the kids to tap into its raw power.
