Update
It's excellent to be able to report that the Kickstart appeal acheived the £15K needed to get this great project off the ground. Well done to all those who pledged their support and congratulations go out to Charlie, Lisa and Robin.
The
Truth of Revolution, Brother is a unique exploration of the philosophy of punk, based on the
ideas, beliefs and lives of the people that created the movement.
The punk
explosion of the late 70’s and early 80’s changed the face of music, art,
fashion and more. But it didn't stop there. We believe the originators of this
movement were onto something really important. They had a unique view on an
alternative way of operating in society (and often outside of it). We set out
to reconnect to the same people that were behind this philosophical shift, to
see how they live their values today. What had they learned? What is the
lasting legacy? We are interested in what this means for us now.
We
have spent a year with some of the most influential figures in the global punk movement.
The people we’ve spoken to have been musicians, artists, poets, politicians and
provocateurs of all hues. We’ve interviewed the brains behind bands like Crass,
Minor Threat & Fugazi, Sugarcubes, Big Black, Subhumans,
Poison Girls, The Pop Group & Mark Stewart and the Maffia,
The Møb, The Adverts, The Membranes, Steve Ignorant’s
Slice of Life, Ghostigital, Oi Polloi, Rubella Ballet
and many more.
We
are self-publishing a truly stunning and life-affirming book that captures the
ideas, experiences and features artwork from real trailblazers. We are creating
something of beauty, and have taken enormous care to respect the material and
the people that we've been working with to produce a unique treatment about the
next stage of the punk journey.

of this project by backing us on Kickstarter.com and help us to produce and print this book.
