A small-town Florida teenager discovers punk rock through a loaned mix tape, and punk music and culture slowly takes over all aspects of his life. His new passion causes him to form a band, track down out-of-print records he loves and reissue them, open a record store, start a record distribution operation as a public service, mentor a host of young musicians, and befriend all manner of punk luminaries along the way. Slowly his lifeโ€™s pursuit pushes him to the point of personal ruination and, ultimately, redemption.

Bob Suren discovered punk rock as a teenager and spent thirty years of his life exploring all aspects of the genre. He is the founder of Sound Idea Store and Distribution and Burrito Recordster and remains an obsessive vinyl collector.

Reviews

โ€œReally brings to life the early days of the American punk scene as it spread slowly across the country, through turntables, fanzines, and word of mouth.โ€

โ€œA passionate and cautionary tale of the ecstasy and dark side of a serious vinyl addictionโ€ฆA must read for anyone who collects anything!โ€

โ€œA fun, easy-to-read, personal narrative of thirty years of living through Punk Rock.โ€

โ€œBob Suren delivers some great punk rawk history through anecdote and wit, intermingled with personal stories.โ€
