CRUSH - Photos from Post-Punk Auckland looks back at the hard-edged music of the years 1982 to 1990 through the eyes of photographer Jonathan Ganley. With 136 images of 33 groundbreaking local and international bands and musicians, the book showcases era-defining artists such as The Clash, The Fall, The Clean, Fetus Productions, Chris Knox, Straitjacket Fits, and Sonic Youth. Alongside his evocative analogue images that vividly capture the scene and the times, the book also contains Jonathan Ganley's eye-witness accounts of the first Auckland gigs by some of the best international post-punk bands, and describes some of his experiences photographing local musicians, on-stage and off. CRUSH - Photos from Post-Punk Auckland celebrates a decade of innovative music that still reverberates with music fans around the world.
