Bonk On Head
Some Photos of Colorado Punk Bands from the 1980s

Photos by Patrick Barber / Text by Tom Banger

Coming at you like a burst of on-camera flash, Bonk On Head is part personal zine, part historical document.

In 1986, Patrick Barber made a series of photos as part of a school project documenting the local punk scene. Writer Tom Banger, who promoted punk shows in Denver during the same era, provides an essay rich with his own personal history and experience. Full of energy and visual music, Bonk On Head will be enjoyed by the elder punks who were there to hear it, as well as younger fans of the music and curious cultural historians.
