The Punk Rock Museum – 2nd Year Anniversary
March 30th, 2025
Back in March, I had the absolute honor of an intimate interview with the legend himself, Edward Colver, at The Punk Rock Museum — the guy whose photographs encapsulate Los Angeles punk rock history. His lens captured the moments most people only heard rumors about — the sweat, the chaos, the genius, and the grime of the city’s early scene up until the mid-1980s. Sitting next to him, hearing him unpack the stories behind those iconic shots — from Black Flag, The Gun Club, and Circle Jerks to the everyday crowd of misfits who defined the era — reminded me how vital documentation is to keeping our culture alive. The man’s got an archive of raw honesty, and he tells it like it was.
What really struck me was how personal it all felt. This wasn’t just a history lesson — it was like sitting in on an unedited conversation between old friends who’ve seen a lot of beautiful wreckage together. The audience vibed with that energy too — half laughing, half blown away by the realities behind the frames they’d only seen in books, iconic album covers, and zines from around the world. I walked away from that night feeling lucky to be part of something that continues to evolve but never loses its edge. Punk’s not just music — it’s memory, and Edward Colver’s photos are living proof of that.
