Marty Perez is a Chicago-based photographer who has been documenting the parallels between the worlds of underground rock as well as some of the biggest stars of pop music, from 1976 to the present. This is the first collection of his images from the last five decades of rock’n roll decadence, from the wild, unhinged crowds of unruly and footloose teenagers to the incredible juxtaposition of both house-hold names with the sub-obscure underground bands that didn’t see the bright lights as close, yet still hold that certain magic of the era.

His most famous shot that graces the cover of this, his first-ever published collection of photography came to worldwide acclaim when used as the central image for the OBLIVIANS 1997 LP Popular Favorites. NOTE: also framed and hanging in the Ramone family home!
