Born Too Loose (2025)

By Chris Walter

This messy and incomplete history of punk rock describes in lurid detail the explosive bands that transformed an uneducated eleven-year-old on acid into Canada's most recognized punk historian. Covering a riotous fifty-four-year span, this magnum opus recounts the rise of punk rock and how it inspired young malcontents worldwide to form bands and push the limits of public decorum. Your favourite groups are all here, and you'll be sure to learn more about this rebellious subculture and the wild generation of misfits that spawned it. Punk has changed in many ways over the decades but that beating heart remains the same.
