Punks on Paper

Punks on Paper, a comprehensive look back at the history of North Carolina Punk and Hardcore through detailed showlistings, flyers, posters, and ticket stubs, went online in as the personal website of John Rivera 2014. By 2019, the collection had grown to over 5000 show entries and over3000 fliers ranging from the late 70s early waves of punk rock, through the developing 80s hardcore scene, the 1990s indie and grunge days, and on into the current times.The site documented everything from DIY garages and basements to music halls to hole in the wall clubs to pizza parlors. Including the bigger names like The World Famous Milestone Club, Cat's Cradle, The Brewery down to the more "locals only" spots like the Miracle House of Rock, Dick Street and Posidome of the great state of North Carolina. Rivera passed away in 2022, and a permanent archive of the material from the site is being added to Gateway. The collection will be online in March of 2024 and we will begin accepting new submissions. More soon!
