Uncompromising and innovative, hardcore punk in Washington, DC,
birthed a new sound and nurtured a vibrant subculture aimed at a
specific segment of the city's youth. Shayna L. Maskell explores
DC's hardcore scene during its short but storied peak. Led by bands
like Bad Brains and Minor Threat, hardcore in the nation's capital
unleashed music as angry and loud as it was fast and minimalistic.
Maskell examines the music's aesthetics and the unique impact of
DC's sociopolitical realities on the sound and the scene that
emerged. As she shows, aspects of the music's structure merged with
how bands performed it to put across distinctive representations of
race, class, and gender. But those representations could be as
complicated and contradictory as they were explicit. A fascinating
analysis of a punk rock hotbed, Politics as Sound tells the story
of how a generation created music that produced--and
resisted--politics and power.
