Join us at @beyondthestreetsart Los Angeles on November 14th 5-10PM to celebrate the release of Shot As A Teen, legendary photographer Dina Douglass’s debut book of photos chronicling the bands and fans of the Los Angeles Punk scene circa 1981-1985. @dinadouglasspunkphotography herself will be there to sign books.

These are strictly limited to 50 copies each out of a total edition of 250, so once they’re gone they’re gone....

Just 16 years old when she began bringing her Canon AE-1 camera to shows around Los Angeles, Dina Douglass documented the bands, fans, and underground culture of the city’s emerging punk, hardcore, and goth scenes. The photographs were developed in her school’s darkroom and then tucked away in her childhood bedroom closet, where they remained largely forgotten for more than four decades.
Now, Douglass is set to release “Shot As A Teen,” a 250-page collection of photographs taken between 1981 and 1985. After thousands of hours of image restoration and meticulous research into names, dates, and venues, she has brought this remarkable archive to light, preserving a pivotal moment in music history through the eyes of someone who experienced it firsthand.
Featuring never-before-published photographs of more than 60 bands, the collection includes Black Flag, Social Distortion, The Adicts, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Exploited, Circle Jerks, Minor Threat, The Misfits, and many more.
Beyond the musicians, Douglass also turned her camera toward the kids who filled the venues. With 40 pages dedicated to fans and crowds, the book captures the faces, fashion, and energy of a generation that found freedom, identity, and community through punk.
Presented by Trust Records and KiII Your Idols Books, Shot As A Teen will be released on November 14 and is available to pre-order exclusively through Trust Records. The book comes in Deluxe and Trade editions, with five Deluxe Edition variants featuring prints of Mike Ness, Jerry Only, Wattie Buchan, Keith “Monkey” Warren, and Discharge fans.
To celebrate the release, Trust Records and KiII Your Idols Books will host a public launch party and book signing with Douglass at BEYOND THE STREETS in Los Angeles on November 14.

KILL YOUR IDOLS (KYI) COLLECTION
Back around ‘99/‘00, I picked up a copy of F*cked Up + Photocopied at Tower Records on Mass Ave. in Boston and it started something...
25 years later, I’m happy to say that spec•i•men now has all currently available KYI titles in stock, along with a few out-of-print gems from the personal collection.
We’re also excited to have the brand-new and exquisitely designed Mini Prints by Jim Madison book in stock—one of my personal favorite artists and a perfect addition to the KYI catalog.
Founded by Bryan Ray Turcotte, Kill Your Idols has spent years documenting punk, DIY publishing, underground graphics, activism, and counterculture through some of the most important books on the subject.
Whether you’re discovering KYI for the first time or filling gaps in your collection, these books remain essential reading for anyone interested in independent culture and the people who built it. Thx Bryan!
