Murray Bowles photographed Bay Area punk for four decades, capturing its infectious energy, wild creativity, and ragged tenderness everywhere he found it.

From San Francisco’s Mabuhay Gardens to Berkeley’s 924 Gilman—and the countless basements, backyards, and warehouses in between—Murray was there, camera in hand, the scene’s beloved documentarian.

Collected here for the first time, Murray’s classic images chronicle a uniquely dynamic and enduring music community in all its chaos and glory.

Featuring hundreds of images of bands such as Green Day, Operation Ivy, Neurosis, Crimpshrine, the Dead Kennedys, MDC, Special Forces, Social Unrest, Spit Boy, Melvins, Gwar, Soundgarden, NOFX, The Offspring and many, many more.

This collection of photographs documents and celebrates the punk music scene from the early 1980s through the mid-1990s.

Hail Murray
The Punk Photography of Murray Bowles, 1982-1995
By Murray Bowles
Edited by Anna Brown
Introduction by Aaron Cometbus

"Murray had a vision and he shared it with the world. He showed us ourselves in ways we might never have seen on our own. A chronicler and a maker of history. The East Bay as we know and remember it would not have existed without him." - Larry Livermore, Lookout Records

"When I was younger, I always thought, how is it that a photo can make me dream of transporting to another place and time, wishing I was at that show, seeing what Murray Bowles was seeing?" - Martin Sorrondeguy, Los Crudos, Limp Wrist, photographer

"Murray was a one-of-a-kind talent. He was king of what we photographers call the Hail Mary. He would raise his camera above his head and bam! his flash would go off and godDAMMIT he would get such amazing shots of whatever flailing, high-decibel hubbub surrounded him. All without even looking through the viewfinder. What a legend." - Cammie Toloui, Yeastie Girlz, photographer

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
