“Gang Wars! Rock n Roll! Fine Knits! Step into the world of the sharpies, Australia’s answer to mods and skinheads. A world of custom-made clothing and blood n’ guts street brawls. Packed with first-hand accounts from sharpie veterans and rock n’ rollers like Lobby Loyde and Angry Anderson, illustrated with over fifty photos of teenagers in cardigans, Top Fellas is smart as a pair of Acropolis shoes and lively as a Q-Club punch up.” (publisher’s blurb) “…a fast-paced, slang-laced, laddish style – plenty of first hand recollections… loaded with photos… highly enjoyable” Mike Stax, Ugly Things
