My Riot by Roger Miret

My Riot by Roger Miret

The Cuban immigrant faces childhood struggles, finds his voice in hardcore, and survives the dangerous 1980s Lower East Side.

"Miret's memorable, affecting stories capture an important time in the hardcore music scene. . . Equal parts music memoir and gritty coming-of-age story, it's an eminently readable and fast-paced look at life during hardcore's heyday. . . . Not just for music fans, My Riot is a valuable snapshot of an important time." -Foreword Reviews "Fan or not, My Riot is a great look back at a singular time in musical history, written from a very singular perspective, and it was almost impossible to put down." -Midnight to Six "Reading Miret's memories of the scene's early violent years was enthralling. . . . Despite its unflinching style, the memoir also carries a lighter tone in parts, especially any stories revolving around Miret's musical partner in crime, Agnostic Front guitarist Vinnie Stigma." -No Echo
