Like the blog. Would you be interested in featuring/reviewing Punk Fiction? Details below:
Punk Fiction is an anthology of short stories, poems and illustrations submitted by an impressive line up of contributors. Each piece of work shares one unifying theme – everything included in the collection will be inspired by a punk rock song. The book will open with a foreword by former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr and include contributions from Kele Okereke (Bloc Party), Paul Smith (Maximo Park), David Gaffney, Max Decharne, Kate Jackson (The Long Blondes), Billy Childish, Salena Godden, Laura Oldfield Ford, Joe Stretch, Krissi Murisson (NME), Stewart Home, Kate Pullinger, Peter Wild, Nicholas Hogg, Joolz Denby, Lydia Lunch, Alison Mosshart (The Kills), Ed Larrikin (Larrikin Love / The Pan I Am), Devonte Hynes (Lightspeed Champion). Contributors are mainly musicians but include some of the best writers working now. The book will act as proof (if any were needed) that the punk rock legacy was not merely musical but exerted a force on our cultural life that continues to this day. £1 from the cover price will be donated to The Teenage Cancer Trust.
