MOCAtv is releasing a new three-part documentary series called The Art of Punk, which focuses on the cross-section of art and music by dissecting the logos of three punk bands. Director Bryan Ray Turcotte tells Sam Gutelle of Tubefilter, "I wanted to explore how art and punk influence each other and always have.
