Punk! An A–Z by Barry Lazell is a visually rich hardcover reference book that captures the energy, attitude, and influence of the punk movement that transformed both music and fashion. First published by Hamlyn in 1995, this book presents an alphabetically organised encyclopedia of the bands, venues, personalities, records, and cultural trends that defined punk from its origins through its lasting impact.

Featuring a foreword by John Cale, the book combines striking photography with concise, informative entries that make it equally appealing to long-time enthusiasts and newcomers exploring the genre. Each listing includes recommended recordings, while dedicated feature spreads spotlight some of punk's most influential artists and movements.

Covering approximately 250 bands and personalities, Punk! An A–Z serves as both a collector's piece and an accessible guide to one of music's most revolutionary cultural movements. From iconic acts to lesser-known underground figures, it offers a fascinating snapshot of the sound, style, and rebellious spirit that helped redefine popular culture.
