RVA Magazine presents Strange Daze: Richmond 1980-89. This new RVA Photo Book is a document of the Richmond punk and hardcore scene in the 1980s, as photographed by the people who were there. This free special edition book features hundreds of photos capturing the music, the flyers, the kids and the chaos of the RVA punk underground. Richmond has always had a great music scene, and this era was no exception. See the local bands who first put Richmond’s hardcore scene on the map: White Cross, Honor Role, Graven Image, Unseen Force, Absence of Malice, and others; as well as a special section documenting the great touring bands of the day who stopped off in Richmond: Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Minor Threat, GBH, Broken Bones, and Toxic Reasons, just to name a few. Plus a special look at the earliest days of GWAR, some crazy stories about the most unforgettable characters of the era, and more!
