Loaded with ephemera, memorials and pix of not only the big namers like The Germs, X etc but all the secondary, tertiary bands who played (some who had yet to really make the transition from 1975to punk yet.) Lovely.
10. The Evolution of A Cro-Magnon - memoir by John Joseph, singer of the Cro-Mags. Kinda like the Ringolevio of the early 80s NYC hardcore scene. And written in a super-1st person narrative where he will, while talking about someone, call that person out (”Hey Vinnie, if yr reading this, get in touchman, gotta work some shit out”) - not a direct quote but like that. Harrowing pre-teen urban nightmare life saved by an epiphany at a Faith/Untouchables/Bad Brains gig in Virginia. A gripper.
