Nowhere Fast: Brisbane’s Punk and Post-punk Scene 1978-1982 featuring the photographs of Paul O’Brien, is a dark, dazzling, wild night-time ride into the Brisbane underground of the late 70s. O’Brien captured more than 800 images of Brisbane’s DIY subculture, a scene underpinned by politics, frustration, opposition. And music.

This book of 85 selected black and white photographs includes essays by two musicians and members of the scene, Robert Forster and John Willsteed.
