JOAN JETT
by Todd Oldham
introduction by Kathleen Hanna
Rock-and-roll goddess Joan Jett holds a beloved place in the world of music. She started her first
band, The Runaways, at age fifteen and has blazed a trail that has inspired and thrilled her fans
to this day. AMMO Books is proud to release this authorized, loving tribute conceived and
authored by designer Todd Oldham. The book chronicles all aspects of her career and passions
through images—from forming The Runaways to her years of touring with her band, Joan Jett
and the Blackhearts. JOAN JETT features many never-before-seen photos, ephemera, and
excerpts from thirty years worth of interviews, carefully curated with Joan herself, covering the
multi-decade career of a real rock-and-roll icon. A thoughtful introduction written by renowned
indie rocker and Riot Grrrl Kathleen Hanna brings context to this exciting title.
Joan Jett is a revered songwriter, musician, and American icon. In keeping with her pioneering
spirit, she went on to be the first woman to start her own independent rock label, Blackheart
Records. The "Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Greatest Hits" compilation was released in March
2010, and a film based on The Runaways starring Dakota Fanning, and Kristen Stewart as Joan
Jett, was released on DVD July 20, 2010.
