About this listen

Brutally Honest, Honestly Brutal.

Skinhead Diaries is a record of 20th century social history when young people aligned themselves with youth cults. There were punks, rockabillies, rockers, teds, new romantics, mods, scooter boys, heavy metallers, hippies and goths. At the age of twelve Paul Burnley followed his older brother into the ranks of London skinheads. It was a path that lead to violence, under age drinking, police cells, family abandonment, hardcore music and far right fantatisism.

Written from the viewpoint and reckless attitude of the time, the author pulls no punches. Nothing is white washed, no excuses given, just a gripping and sometimes frightening account of living through the chaos of those heady days.
