Punk: The Last Word by Chris Sullivan and Stephen Colegrave - Signed Edition

Hand Signed by Chris Sullivan and Stephen Colegrave to a Signature Page
Hardback 1st Edition
New & Unread - Published October 2025

The last word on the movement that shook the world.

Punk: The Last Word is a powerful reimagining of punk—not just as a sound or style, but as a radical, DIY philosophy rooted in defiance, truth, and individuality.

Cultural insider and Wag Club founder Chris Sullivan and Byline Times co-founder and executive editor Stephen Colegrave bring together over 150 original interviews with punk’s most iconic figures—Iggy Pop, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Siouxsie Sioux, Vivienne Westwood, and many others. From musicians and designers to promoters and provocateurs, they paint a vivid portrait of the movement’s chaotic rise and lasting impact on both sides of the Atlantic.

Tracing punk’s rebellious spirit from 19th-century bohemia to the explosion of Kings Road and Coventry in the late '70s, this is, without a doubt, the most in-depth, insider account of punk’s evolution and legacy.

As the movement approaches its 50th anniversary, its core values—authenticity, resistance, and creative freedom—feel more urgent than ever. Punk isn’t just music. It’s a way of life.

About the Authors: Chris Sullivan has been a key figure in underground style and music since the early 1970s. At 18, he pioneered the UK’s first warehouse parties while studying at St Martins. He founded The Wag Club in Soho, which he ran from 1982 to 2001, and fronted the Latin punk funk band Blue Rondo a La Turk, who sold over a million records and toured worldwide. A renowned DJ, Sullivan has played for stars like George Michael and Paul Weller and regularly performs at festivals such as Houghton and Secret Garden. He hosts a regular show on Totally Wired Radio and is also an artist. As a journalist, he was GQ style editor and contributed to outlets like The Times, The Guardian, and Italian Vogue. He’s also an author of books such as Punk: A Life Apart and Rebel Rebel: How Mavericks Made the Modern World.

Stephen Colegrave is the cofounder of Byline Times, Byline TV and Byline Festival. He has also co-authored several publication including Inside Music 2005, and Leee Black Childers’ Drag Queens, Rent Boys, Pick Pockets, Junkies, Rockstars and Punks. Previously he was international marketing director of Saatchi and Saatchi, a trustee of the Young Actor’s Theatre and a film producer as well as curating rock art exhibitions around the world.
