This year let’s tell these fucks in office to speak to our empty pockets!
For fuck sake, If you don’t already have a copy of this book, buy it. American Hardcore is a beautiful history of the American Punk Rock and hardcore movement in the late 1970’s through the mid 1980’s. Author Steven Blush covers the the scene from coast to cost in a style so honest and so straightforward the it recalls the brute, animal strength of the early music. Through interviews with punk rock legends such as Rollins(of course), and H.R., less known musicians, and even your average punk, the oral tradition of the scene is finally archived for all time. There is also a documentary by the same name, which is an awesome companion to the book, but is no substitute for reading it. So why is this shit so important? If you don’t know where you came from, how do you know where to go? So for the love of all things worth loving, read the goddamn book.
