Trust Records and Kill Your Idols Books are teaming up to publish the new Shot As A Teen, a collection of photos of the early 1980s punk scene taken by Dina Douglass. The book comes out on Nov. 14 and includes unreleased photos that include Black Flag, Social Distortion, Minor Threat, Circle Jerks, The Misfits, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and more, all taken between 1981-1985. The book isn't just focused on artists, but also the fans and crowds that made the scene.
“There were only a handful of people shooting punk at the time, which is why these images have such a huge scarcity factor. When I finally pulled my negatives out of the closet and looked at them through a professional lens, I was truly surprised by the quality I was able to generate at such a young age. I had no idea that I’d created such a rare and far-reaching archive, and I now feel a deep sense of responsibility for the ongoing preservation of this history," Douglass says, reflecting on her experience and the rationale of revisiting these photos.
The book has both a deluxe and trade edition.
