BACK TO PUNK FLYERS

Ah! 1978... the Summer of Hate, and the sweet smell of insurrection was in the air! The BAGS were playing all over LA, and this classic punk flyer announced the battle plan. I picked this flyer up from off the floor of some punk club... so it comes complete with the bootprint of some punkers stylish footware!

I have no idea who designed this flyer, but the sinister stick figure commandos with the blank eyes seemed to be harbingers of things to come. A year after this flyer was distributed, revolution would sweep Iran and Nicaragua... with the Raygun Presidency not far behind.
