What's the second best part of collecting records after listening to them? Looking at them!

French publisher Masala Noir completely understands this part of the tactile vinyl collecting experience and have released a series of amazing books collecting the artwork of music subculture ephemera. This volume contains a selection of punk band and punk label logos created between 1970 and 2020. Combining typography, lettering, and illustration to create iconic representation of groups striving for authenticity, this collection opens the door on how a subculture's aesthetic becomes codified.

A great resource for fans of punk music and culture, designers interested in music subcultures, and scholars interested in DIY branding.
