Great website, one of the best i have seen lately. Super clean, big and bold. WOW… The book looks amazing to. It’s a book about the ‘Let it bleed’ Rolling Stones tour of 1969!!

“Radio Silence documents the ignored space between the Ramones and Nirvana through the words and images of the pre-Internet era where this community built on do-it-yourself ethics thrived.”
This book looks very cool and the cover is pretty clean.
