Café Royal Books is the kind of gritty, underground gold that punches through the noise with raw, real stories—told frame by frame. They’re not a café, they’re not royal, and they’re definitely not books. What they are is a razor-sharp archive of DIY photo zines that scream with the unfiltered soul of street life, punk scenes, and counterculture past. No gloss, no polish— just truth, straight from the pavement.

Syd Shelton — Rock Against Racism Live 1977-1981

Between 1976 and 1981 Rock Against Racism and the youth of Britain unleashed the explosive rebel chemistry of Punk and Reggae bands in a five year festival of multi culturalism. Under the slogan ‘Love Music, Hate Racism’, Rock Against Racism took on the orthodoxy through 5 Carnivals, and over 500 gigs throughout the UK. In those five years the National Front went from a serious electoral threat into political oblivion.
