Musink

Taken on March 20, 2015, during the Musink Festival at the Orange County Fairgrounds, this shot captures Tim Armstrong leaning into his custom “DIRTY” electric guitar. Sharp backlighting outlines his silhouette against a packed outdoor arena.

From his roots in Operation Ivy to decades fronting Rancid and running Hellcat Records, Armstrong remains a central historic figure in East Bay and global punk culture.
