This is the first time that the various threads of UK 'Alternative Underground Subculture' surrounding the hard rock lifestyle have been brought together under one banner. This collection explores the rich subcultures of tattooing, roller-derby, punk rock, metal, hardcore and body modification in a manner which can only be told by someone who immersed themselves in the environment to bring you an honest and non-judgemental depiction of these related groups.

The majority of images in this book are rare and are being published here for the first and only time. The book itself contains over 200 photographs, gracing 176 pages of high quality Lithographic print. Keeping in theme with the D-I-Y nature of the subject matter, the book is limited to 500 copies only and was self-published to ensure that it will not be reprinted en mass. Each copy is hand numbered and individually signed by Al Overdrive.
