awesome historical look at US hardcore punk early days (18/19 people found this helpful)
American Hardcore is a must have for any fans of this type of music or anyone who has any interest in the American hardcore scene. It breaks down the diverse US punk movement into regional scenes, bands from those scenes, quotes from famous names etc., has anecdotes and stories told, explains certain myths that came hand in hand with the music, gives opinions and comments from band members about the old days and generally dives head first into the whole hardcore scene gossip & history from that era ( mainly 1979 - 1986). Totally compelling - i haven't managed to put the book down yet! definately a must have for any hardcore fan. has unreleased photos, flyers and a massive discography with probably every US hardcore band who released anything ...
bands featured include DK's, SSD , Black Flag,Misfits,Minor Threat and what seems like a million other classic bands
