Ever wonder what happened to the photos that didn’t make it into your favorite records? Or what the first pressing of that rare Discord record looked like? Or if anyone still has an original (a.k.a. not bought off RevHQ.com) Chain of Strength shirt?

Well then, October 28th is your lucky day, since it’s the release date of Radio Silence - A Selected Visual History of American Hardcore Music. Compiled by Nathan Nedorostek and Anthony Pappalardo, Radio Silence collects old zines, handwritten letters, and other memorabilia from 80’s and 90’s hardcore, when kids had to work hard, rip off Kinko’s and steal phone cards to keep in touch with each other, make records and sell shirts. It’s full of photos you’ve never seen before and records you wish you owned.

To learn more about it, or if you’ve heard enough and would like to grab a copy, you can preorder at amazon.com.
