‘Subject Punk’ returns in a powerful second edition, opening Maggie St Thomas’s all access archive of punk rock lived from the inside. Spanning three decades, the book traces her journey from sneaking into shows with a camera and a dream to documenting the bands, nights, and community that shaped a movement. The pages pulse with sweat soaked clubs, raw energy, and moments that feel immediate and alive, all seen through a lens that never flinched.
Packed with never before published photographs of punk icons and scenes, the book weaves personal history with cultural memory, showing how persistence and belief can carry a voice into the center of a scene. ‘Subject Punk’ reads as both a visual chronicle and a personal triumph, celebrating creativity, connection, and the power of showing up night after night with something to say.
