Piercing is not really a thing in Perth in the early 90s, but Neil and this tribe of eco-warriors are doing it not just for the aesthetics, but as a shared act that binds them together.
Neil's story takes you on a wild ride through the anarchic world of 80s punk rock in Perth. As a teenager, Neil found himself disillusioned with the status quo, diving headfirst into the punk subculture. Fueled by the raw energy of the music and a fierce sense of justice, he became an anarcho-activist, fighting for causes that resonated deeply with his rebellious spirit. But Neil's journey wasn't just about loud music and defiance.
It was also about grappling with trauma and seeking healing in unexpected places. From intense political activism to an unforgettable afternoon involving a video camera and a daring body piercing, Neil's experiences are as varied as they are compelling. This episode of 'Days Like These' paints a vivid picture of how subcultures can shape identity and provide a sense of belonging. It's a tale of resilience, transformation, and ultimately, finding purpose in helping others.
Whether you're drawn to stories of rebellion or looking for inspiration on your own path to healing, Neil's punk rock odyssey is sure to resonate.
