Dive Into the Archive

Pitography

Every gig, every beer-soaked memory, every blurry shot where someone’s boot is in mid-air and nobody’s quite sure whose hand that is. Flashbulbs flared, basslines bruised, and I snapped what I could between dodging elbows and stage divers. From DIY dives to ear-splitting legends, it’s all here. Dive in. The past isn’t just remembered — it’s moshing in the front row.
