Punk's Not Dead, It's Hidden
The 1998 film SLC Punk showed a violent, repressed side to Salt Lake City’s 1980s punk scene. Photographer and author Landon Hale says today’s punk scene is all about community, inclusivity, and more than music. Hale captures Salt Lake’s punk culture in his new book Punk’s Not Dead, It’s Hidden.
