Across the oceans and in two very different cities a counter culture was bubbling under. One a speed driven surf infused art house vibe that had more in common with Jack Keroauc and beat poetry then they would care to admit. The Other a need to flee the slums and hum drum of a country brought to its knees by a government that broke the promise of a utopian post war dream. From the plastic fantastic of swinging 60’s London to the filth and the fury of generation of dole line denizens. GENERATION ...
