Anthony Pappalardo and co-author and art director Nathan Nedorostek have compiled the book “Radio Silence/A Selected Visual History of American Hardcore Music.” An accompanying photo exhibit, “Radio Silence/Selected Photography,” comes to the Fourth Wall Project in Boston on Feb. 7, and the black-and-white images suit hardcore’s gritty aesthetic well.

Pictured: Cro-Mags at the Ritz in New York, 1986.
