In 2008 Al released his first book, a collection of 200 images documenting the underground and alternative subcultures surrounding the rock n roll lifestyle. Unlike others before him this book didn’t focus on chart topping token rebels, instead it provided an honest and intimate document of the hidden worlds he was granted access too. Some of the bands in this book were selling out large venues and have continued to do so, some of the bands have since split up. A lot of his subjects have since broken out of the underground and entered the mainstream; Canadian band Fucked Up now headline festivals around the world and the UK’s own Florence and the Machine has risen to superstardom.

His ability to capture the essence of these people, without losing the raw quality that contributes to so much of their appeal is probably the main reason that the press took such a liking to his work. The book itself is now more relevant than it was when first released. Even the British library holds a copy.

The book was printed in a one-off run of 500 and is hand numbered by the author.
