Book excerpt: 1981: The cities of England are aflame with widespread rioting. One in ten of the population is unemployed. The Specials' Ghost Town is at number one in the charts. Too much fighting on the dance floor. But don't worry, there's a royal wedding to keep you all distracted, Charles and Diana exchanging worthless vows before a multitude of flag-waving tourists. Meanwhile, a 17-year-old punk rocker, young, dumb, and full of...curiosity, decides to flee the boredom of small village life and a mindless factory job to follow his favourite bands - Siouxsie and the Banshees, Killing Joke, and the Damned - dodging police, skinheads, Perry Boys, football hooligans, and er, the Bath Warriors as he hitchhikes from town to town. Packed with history and hilarity, Punk Snot Dead is a coming-of-age story like no other, and a nostalgic glance at an England that is no more.

Download or read book Fucked Up + Photocopied written by Bryan Ray Turcotte and published by Gingko Press. This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raw, brazen and totally intense, Fucked Up + Photocopied is a collection of frenetic flyers produced for the American punk scene between 1977 and 1985. Many were created by the musicians themselves and demonstrate the emphasis within the punk scene on individuality and the manic urge of its members to create things new. Images were compiled out of whatever material could be found, often photocopied and, still warm, stapled to the nearest telephone pole to warn the world about next week's gig. One glance and you can sense the fury of live performances by bands such as Black Flag, the Dead Kennedys and The Minutemen, and, through the subtext the reader is exposed to the psyche of a generation of musicians stripped bare: The Germs, J.F.A, NOFX, X, The Circle Jerks, Devo, The Exploited, The Screamers, The Cramps, The Dils, The Avengers and more.

Book excerpt: DEATH OF A PUNK Lenny Hornblower used to drive a cab. Now he finds people for a fee--$100 a day plus expenses. When Lisa Perlont calls and asks him to find her son Blinky, it seems like an easy job. Blinky hangs out at an East Village punk club called AC-DC. Lenny puts up with the noise, but when someone knocks him out in the alley and steals his wallet, he starts to take it personally. However, the search for Blinky turns up more than a young punk with a safety pin in his nose-Lenny also finds a group of equipment hijackers with a large stash of cocaine. In fact, it looks like Blinky is running a scam of his own, one that just might prove fatal. Lenny wants to do right by his client but is this any way to make a living? Murder meets the Blank Generation!

Download or read book Punk Productions written by Stacy Thompson and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stacy Thompson's Punk Productions offers a concise history of punk music and combines concepts from Marxism to psychoanalysis to identify the shared desires that punk expresses through its material productions and social relations. Thompson explores all of the major punk scenes in detail, from the early days in New York and England, through California Hardcore and the Riot Grrrls, and thoroughly examines punk record collecting, the history of the Dischord and Lookout! record labels, and 'zines produced to chronicle the various scenes over the years. While most analyses of punk address it in terms of style, Thompson grounds its aesthetics, and particularly its most combative elements, in a materialist theory of punk economics situated within the broader fields of the music industry, the commodity form, and contemporary capitalism. While punk's ultimate goal of abolishing capitalism has not been met, the punk enterprise that stands opposed to the music industry is still flourishing. Punks continue to create aesthetics that cannot be readily commodified or rendered profitable by major record labels, and punks remain committed to transforming consumers into producers, in opposition to the global economy's increasingly rapid shift toward oligopoly and monopoly.
