About the book:

Please Feed Me is a punk rock vegan cookbook. Each recipe features an anecdote

by a band that performed via the Hope Collective, a popular punk booking

collective in Dublin the author helped maintain for over a decade. (The Hope

Collective became a blue print and inspiration for punk and DIY spaces across

Ireland and the UK.) The book features contributions from over 120 people who

donated their vegan recipes and thoughts on the importance of the punk rock

community and culture, including such seminal punk banks such as Fugazi, Bikini

Kill, and Chumbawamba.

 

In addition to great recipes, Please Feed Me uniquely illustrates the

connections between community, art, activism and health. The thunderous subtext

of the book is the vital underground community and network created and

maintained by a collective of organizers and hundreds of musicians at a time

when most punk bands were signing to major labels for the highest dollar amount.

The book documents pieces of the stories of many popular US and international

punk bands that continue to have a major influence on youth subcultures today.
