These photos celebrate anarcho-punk youth culture in the 80s:
that feature a young blonde man with spiky hair, wearing an anarchist punk tank top and a chunky chain necklace locked together with a padlock. The series has been designed to look like a film strip, as if the photographs were all taken on the same night, but from the slight nuances of his hairstyle -- more gel, a little crimping -- Killip knows they were actually shot on three separate evenings at the legendary northern club in Gateshead, where he spent many a Saturday night in 1985.
Inside, everything was painted matte black from the floors to the ceiling and walls. There was almost no light except for the one directed at the stage, and the music of bands like Sleep Creature and the Vampires, Hellbastard, Blasphemy, Conflict and Toxic Waste blasting from the speakers made it almost impossible for Killip to see and focus. “It was a phenomenal venue,” he says.
The Station wasn’t a money-grabbing venture, but rather an arts collective with a core of 12 to 16 local creatives who met every Wednesday. “It was a place for outsiders, a place where weirdos could gather and no one would think you were weird. In that, it was a place where people could share like-minded ideas, share a vision and share a message,” says Malcolm Lewty, whose band Hellbastard emerged from The Station.
Killip’s documentary snapshots might have been lost forever, if it wasn’t for his son Matthew, a filmmaker and editor based in Brooklyn, New York. He discovered the photographs one afternoon, while looking through some old boxes in his father’s archive at Harvard University, where Killip taught for 30 years.
