Play It Fuckin’ Loud is a brand new print responding to a brief about protest produced by Dave Darcy of Dublin-based letterpress print studio, One Strong Arm.
The three colour print combines letterpress and linocut techniques, and is inspired by one of the most famous exchanges in Rock ‘n’ Roll history. In 1966, at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester during a Bob Dylan concert, a disgruntled fan shouted ‘Judas’ towards to the stage. After some back-and-forth, Dylan turned to his band and told them to ‘PLAY IT FUCKIN’ LOUD’; before launching into a blistering version of Like a Rolling Stone. “So, in a sense, it’s Dylan protesting a fan’s protest about Dylan not playing protest songs… protest cubed” explains Dave.
The print is characteristic of Dave’s ethos at One Strong Arm; creating contemporary typography-led work using traditional methods. The studio’s output involves their ever-growing collection of antique wood and metal type, as well as more modern techniques and processes.
Printed in a limited edition of 25, on 220 Gsm uncoated stock, the piece is available to purchase here.
