When punk came to Malmö and Lund, things happened that reverberated all over the country. Instead of waiting for someone to do it for them, young people created venues, organized concerts, designed posters, booked tours, printed fanzines and built record labels.
Heartwork Records was founded by Henrik Venant, but the circle around the label was a creative collective melting pot with bands such as TT Reuter, Garbochock, Cortex, Underjordiska Lyxorkester and many more.
The book tells the whole story of Heartwork, disc by disc, from the recording of the first single in 1977 until 2024, with images that in many cases have never been published before. It is created by Karl G Jönsson, Mats Eriksson Dunér, Jonas Ellerström and Petter Lönegård.
