Friend of Stupefaction, talented photographer and graphic artist Josh Cheuse, has a new book out of his music related photography over the years called Rockers Galore, and it's absolutely beautiful. There is a heavy lean on the 80's as Josh worked and travelled a lot with the likes of the Clash and Big Audio Dynamite. As well, there are fantastic shots of the nascent hip hop kids in New York including Run DMC and the Beastie Boys...I admit I actually haven't seen a copy of the book yet but I've seen enough online, and am familiar enough with Josh's work to know that it's great. I will be making the purchase. Checkout:Rockers Galore website (brought to you by Stussy) - here you can read a nice bio about Josh & view a short Quicktime movie with him discussing his photography. Buy the book here.
Stussy has also produced a limited edition run of t-shirts with images by Josh, my personal favorite being this (above) stunning shot of Terry Hall in his Specials days. (On a side note, I've always been oddly fascinated by Terry Hall's eyebrows.)
