“Friedman also wrote the recently rereleased photo book on the crucial straight-edge punk band Fugazi, Keep Your Eyes Open, featuring a new interview with frontman Ian MacKaye.”
—Los Angeles Times

“Photographer Glen E. Friedman has taken some of the most iconic photos in skateboarding, punk rock and hip hop. Known for capturing the raw energy of a counterculture generation in its prime, his photography helped shape the way people view punk music and redefined the sport of skateboarding.”

“Friedman . . . marvelously captures [Fugazi’s] non-hierarchical structure and spirit . . . These images bristle with the manic yet controlled energy that characterized all of Fugazi’s performances. Sweat sparkles, bodies contort themselves, microphone stands fly off the stage.”
—Bookforum

“This new and expanded edition features an additional interview with MacKaye and Friedman, and, much to the relief of Fugazi and photography fans, is far easier to get hold of. With almost 200 photos to gawk at, it’s an absolute treat for the senses . . . If it were possible for pictures to trigger your senses, you would smell the stale sweat, feel the dry mouth from a lack of hydration, hear every line being belted out in full force.”
—Punktastic

“It is . . . a testament to Friedman that his live stage shots express the intimacy of the moment but don’t insert themselves nor distract from the band . . . Keep Your Eyes Open is its most successful when Friedman lets the photographs bloom in their richness with full page presentations.”
—New York Journal of Books

“But the main focus in this photo book, is—of course—the photos. Almost 200 color and b/w images captured by Friedman onstage and off between 1986 and Fugazi’s last US concert in 2002.”

“Perhaps the definitive visual chronicle of Fugazi’s decade and a half storming stages, Friedman’s Keep Your Eyes Open was first published in 2007. Now, the book is back in print with a new afterword by Friedman and a joint interview with the photographer and MacKaye.”
—The Current’s Rock and Roll Book Club (Minnesota Public Radio)

“While most photographers were taking photos of Fugazi, Glen was making photos with us.”
—Ian MacKaye, Fugazi

“Everyone knows the old saying, ‘A picture’s worth a 1,000 words.’ It couldn’t be more true with this pictorial retrospective of Fugazi, one of the most influential rock bands from the 20th century. Fugazi’s career and DIY ethic are captured in photographs of gigs from their hometown of Washington, D.C. and abroad.”
