American Hardcore by Steven Blush
The first complete, feisty and sordid history of American hardcore punk. Angrier, less pretentious and more stripped-down than its artsy, drug-addled predecessor, this harder-faster form of music was never very pretty - an angry and violent outlet for unfocused rage. Packed with information on all aspects of the genre, including oral histories from the stars and now forgotten participants, the book explains the gestation, rise and eventual fall of the hardcore scene along with an exceptionally comprehensive discography. Extensively illustrated with b/w photos.Steven Blush is also the author of American Hair Metal (Feral House) and.45 Dangerous Minds (Creation), in addition to the bestselling American Hardcore. Blush was also the publisher and chief editor of the award-winning Seconds interview magazine, as well as co-producing the eponymous American Hardcore documentary distributed by Sony Classics. He also contributes to publications such as Paper and Interview, as well as music-related publications.
