Reserve LA Presents: NOMAG by Bruce Kalberg
Reserve LA offers a glimpse into LA’s early 80s, punk rock scene via NOMAG.
Edited and published by LA’s punk rock cultural anthropologist Bruce Kalberg, NOMAG featured content against the popular media grain. Filled with controversial contributions from some of LA’s most noted punk icons including Black Flag and Social Distortion, NOMAG blazed a trail for later alternative publications and serves as a time capsule of one of the great pop culture shifts of the early 1980s.
Now for the first time, NOMAG will exist digitally. We will be providing digitized editions of NOMAG on our blog weekly leading up ...
