"Here is an exhaustive prequel to, followed by a more balanced re-telling of, Rollin's Get in the Van journal, chronicling Black Flag's emergence in suburban Hermosa Beach, and how their ultra-harsh, hi-speed riffage sparked moshpit violence. A gory, gobsmacking read." Andrew Perry, MOJO"Chick's analytical and in-depth biography of the progenitors of SoCal Hardcore builds up to a page-turning, scene-setting climax. Chick does a fine job of detailing the importance, influence and dedicated touring ethic of the band." Alex Burrows, Classic Rock
Great reading Amazon Customer Great book. Amazing stories and facts about this seminal l.a. punk band. Everything you need to know. The Preacher I've read as much as I can find about Black Flag via interviews and articles found on the web, but this book has so much info that at times it reads like a text book. One minute you'll be reading about Black Flag gearing up for a show at a certain club, then the story will derail into giving you more info than you wanted about the club where they're playing.There are so many different topics in this book that if you're looking for Black Flag information and only Black Flag information, yo.

For example: the Misfits being a California band. The author is from England and obviously is not familiar with California, but, he makes a big deal about the difference between L.A. and O.C. and how the scenes were so different, the violence and so on. The author has no idea which bands are from OC and which are from LA.For instance he says Eddie and the Subtitles were from Manha
They fought with everybodythe police, the record industry, and even their own fansand 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. 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. 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.. Black Flag were the pioneers of American Hardcore, and this is their blood-spattered story
