Vale between 1977 and 1979., This comprehensive history of the Punk scene in America in the 1970s contains more than 30 interviews which capture all the excitement, rage, and revelations of the period's new breed of musicians. Featured are Cabaret, Voltaire, Dead Kennedys, Ramones, DNA, Weirdos, Exene, Suicide, Iggy Pop, Devo, and others. Over 100 photos.Complete facsimile reprint of Search & Destroy #1-6.
