'Raccoon Starts A Band' is the long-awaited and superb sequel to Alex CF's brilliant 'Punks In The Willows'. A fully illustrated picture book, exploring the many genres of punk, and a semi autobiographical journey, overcoming self doubt and anxiety, and finding a passion for music, ideology and social justice!
It's all about music, creativity, direct action and above all - equality.
From Alex CF, the creator of 'Punks In The Willows', the beautiful new book, 'Raccoon Starts A Band' is a semi-autobiographical tale of discovering punk.
Amongst the difficulties that come with growing up; from the anguish of being bullied, to lack of self-esteem, yet ultimately finding a community that will stoke a passion for music, politics and kindle many life-long friendships. A full colour, illustrated exploration of the many iterations of punk rock, and the greater punk rock community as a force for positive change in the world.
