Black Flag were the pioneers of American Hardcore, and this is
their blood-spattered story. Formed in Hermosa Beach, California,
in 1978, they made and played brilliant, ugly, no-holds-barred
music for eight brutal years on a self-appointed touring circuit of
America's clubs, squats, and community halls. They fought with
everybody--the police, the record industry, and even their own
fans--and they toured overseas on pennies a day in beat-up trucks
and vans. This history tells Black Flag's story from the inside,
drawing on exclusive interviews with the group's members, their
contemporaries, and the bands they inspired. It depicts the rise of
Henry Rollins, the iconic front man, and Greg Ginn, who turned his
electronics company into one of the world's most influential
independent record labels while leading Black Flag from punk's
three-chord frenzy into heavy metal and free jazz.
