Inaugural pick for the Pitchfork Book Club GQ's One of the Best
Books to Read Right Now How can so many people pledge allegiance to
punk, something with no fixed identity? Depending on who and where
you are, punk can be an outlet, excuse, lifestyle, escapism,
conversation, community, ideology, sales category, social movement,
punishable offense, badge of authenticity, reason to drink beer
forever, or an aesthetic of belligerent incompetence. And if
someone has a strong belief about what punk is, odds are they have
even stronger feelings about what punk is not. Sam McPheeters
championed many different versions. Over the course of two decades,
he fronted Born Against, released dozens of records and fanzines,
and toured seventeen times across the northern hemisphere. In this
collection of essays, profiles, criticism, and personal history, he
examines the diverse realms he intersected--New York hardcore, Riot
Grrrl, Gilman street, the hidden enclaves of Olympia, and New
England, and downtown Los Angeles--and the forces of mental illness
and creative inspiration that drove him, and others, in the first
place.
