In Jersey Metal Volume One Frank and Alan team up to offer a unique, autobiographical perspective on NJ's Heavy Metal music history from 1969-1986 through photos, ads interviews and band bios.

Jersey Metal Volume One covers the early years from 1969 through 1986. The book focuses not just on artists and bands from the Garden State but also world-wide acts, local original, cover as well as tribute bands that played NJ. There is also respect paid to the venues these groups frequented, the record stores, radio stations, record companies, the Jersey shore and of course all the rabid fans that all helped form and grow New Jersey’s wild Heavy Metal scene.

Frank White and Alan Tecchio are both veterans of the New Jersey Heavy Metal scene.

Frank has been a music photographer for forty seven years, selling his photos nationally and internationally to a variety of music magazines, record companies, music TV programs, DVD companies, book companies and the Rock N’ Roll Hall Of Fame.
