<p><em>Queercore: How to Punk a Revolution: An Oral History</em> is the very first comprehensive overview of a movement that defied both the music underground and the LGBT mainstream community. Through exclusive interviews with protagonists like Bruce LaBruce, G.B. Jones, Jayne County, Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill and Le Tigre, film director and author John Waters, Lynn Breedlove of Tribe 8, Jon Ginoli of Pansy Division, and many more, alongside a treasure trove of never-before-seen photographs and reprinted zines from the time, <em>Queercore </em>traces the history of a scene originally “fabricated” in the bedrooms and coffee shops of Toronto and San Francisco by a few young, queer punks to its emergence as a relevant and real revolution.</p> <p><em>Queercore </em>is a down-to-details firsthand account of the movement explored by the people that lived it—from punk’s early queer elements, to the moment that Toronto kids decided they needed to create a scene that didn’t exist, to Pansy Division's infiltration of the mainstream, and the emergence of riot grrrl—as well as the clothes, zines, art, film, and music that made this movement an exciting middle finger to complacent gay and straight society.</p> <p><em>Queercore </em>will stand as both a testament to radically gay politics and culture and an important reference for those who wish to better understand this explosive movement.</p> -
<p>Formed in Wiltshire, England, in 1980, the Subhumans are rightly held in high regard as one of the best punk rock bands to ever hail from the UK. Over the course of five timeless studio albums and just as many classic EPs, not to mention well over 1,000 gigs around the world, they have blended serious anarcho punk with a demented sense of humour and genuinely memorable tunes to create something quite unique and utterly compelling.</p> <p>For the first time ever, their whole story is told, straight from the recollections of every band member past and present, as well as a dizzying array of their closest friends and peers, with not a single stone left unturned. Bolstered with hundreds of flyers and exclusive photos, it’s the definitive account of the much-loved band.</p> -
<p>Straight edge has persisted as a drug-free, hardcore punk subculture for 25 years. Its political legacy, however, remains ambiguous—often associated with self-righteous macho posturing and conservative puritanism. While certain elements of straight edge culture feed into such perceptions, the movement’s political history is far more complex.</p> <p>Since straight edge’s origins in Washington, DC, in the early 1980s, it has been linked to radical thought and action by countless individuals, bands, and entire scenes worldwide. <em>Sober Living for the Revolution</em> traces this history.</p> <p>It includes contributions—in the form of in-depth interviews, essays, and manifestos—by numerous artists and activists connected to straight edge, from Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat/Fugazi) and Mark Andersen (Dance of Days/Positive Force DC) to Dennis Lyxzén (Refused/The (International) Noise Conspiracy) and Andy Hurley (Racetraitor/Fall Out Boy), from bands such as ManLiftingBanner and Point of No Return to feminist and queer initiatives, from radical collectives like CrimethInc. and Alpine Anarchist Productions to the Emancypunx project and many others dedicated as much to sober living as to the fight for a better world.</p> -
<p>Straight edge—hardcore punk’s drug-free offshoot—has thrived as a subculture since the early 1980s. Its influence has reached far beyond musical genres and subcultural divides. Today it is more diverse and richly complex than ever, and in the past decade alcohol and drug use have become a much-discussed issue in radical politics, not least due to the hard work, dedication, and commitment to social and environmental justice found among straight-edge activists.</p> <p><em>X: Straight Edge and Radical Sobriety</em> is Gabriel Kuhn’s highly anticipated follow-up to his critically acclaimed <em>Sober Living for the Revolution</em>. In this impressive volume, Kuhn continues his reconnaissance of straight-edge culture and how it overlaps with radical politics. Extensively illustrated and combining original interviews and essays with manifestos and reprints from zines and pamphlets, X is a vital portrait of the wide spectrum of people who define straight-edge culture today. In the sprawling scope of this book, the notion of straight edge as a bastion of white, middle-class, cis males is openly confronted and boldly challenged by dozens of contributors who span five continents.</p> <p><em>X</em> takes a piercing look at religion, identity, feminism, aesthetics, harm reduction, and much more. It is both a call to action and an elaborate redefinition of straight edge and radical sobriety. Promising to inspire discussion, reflection, and unearth hidden chapters of hardcore punk history, <em>X: Straight Edge and Radical Sobriety</em> is of crucial importance to anybody interested in the politics of punk and social transformation.</p> -

<p>Interesante trabajo de la Federación AnarcoPunk de España, <em>Hazlo Tu Mism@ – Recupera Tu Vida</em> deja en alto la práctica del D.I.Y que tanto ha caracterizado el accionar anarcopunk desde sus inicios. Para quienes les interese el D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself / Hazlo tu mismx), he aquí un libro hecho por la F.A.P. (Federación Anarco Punk) de España, con instrucciones para hacer todo tipo de cosas sin necesidad de depender de nadie, solamente de nuestra capacidad y nuestra paciencia para esforzarnos y demostrarnos a nosotros mismos que somos capaces de hacer si tenemos paciencia y fuerza de voluntad, para lograr independizarnos lo máximo posible del mundo consumista.</p> <p>Contiene información sobre temas como: Auto-defensa, alimentación, transporte, indumentaria, sexualidad, higiene, salud, propaganda, imprenta, etc. Este libro está a favor del no consumo, de la autosuficiencia y la autogestión, y ayuda a dar un paso mas hacia la libertad, independizándonos del consumismo.</p> -
<p>434 pages of essays from all over the world about how anarchist punk has influenced and inspired resistance in many varied struggles. Punk and anarchism have been intertwined since punk first blasted into the public consciousness some 45 years ago, and, while the relationship is complicated (and not ubiquitous), anarchism has been identified as punk’s ‘primary political companion’ but, close investigation of the connections between anarchism and punk has been scant – it’s either taken-for-granted, lurks in the background of other topics of analysis, or is ignored completely. We’re going to change that, with the publication of four books about various aspects of the punk/anarchism relationship, this is the first!</p> -
<p>This booklet looks at the work of the first Romanian anarcha-feminist collective LoveKills and other anarchist group that came to life during the 1990's after the fall of the communist regime. It examines how they challenged mainstream feminist movements and others in the anarchist scene.</p> <p>LoveKills was the first anarcha-feminist collective in Romania, active between 2003-2009 in several cities in the country, including Craiova, Timisoara and Bucharest. They published a fanzine and organized a festival with the same name, organized debates, workshops, film screenings, readings, published and distributed brochures for March 8 - International Women's Day and were involved in various actions. LoveKills fought against patriarchy, capitalism, militarism, racism, fascism and xenophobia, as well as for animal rights.</p> -
<p>Aquest és un llibre fet amb moltes ganes i de llarg recorregut. Va començar en forma d’articles d’opinió el 2006 a les pàgines de la Directa i suposa un recorregut personal, i alhora col·lectiu, per una estètica musical i social que respon a una època convulsa que va des d’abans de tot fins a ara mateix. Parteix de les lletres de cançons d’una generació —o de dues o de més— que ha escoltat molta més música que no ha llegit, així a nivell general. Una colla de gent que escoltava música i llegia les lletres de les cançons, les quals es van convertir en autèntiques transmissores d’idees i desencadenants de pensaments i accions. O almenys una banda sonora que, com deien els Negu Gorriak, està composta d’arrels, rock, rap, reggae...</p> -
<p>Punk Matters is a collection of interviews with punk artists and activists, conducted between 2011 and 2017, with a lengthy introduction outlining the genesis and politics of punk. Interviewees include <em>big names</em> such as Ian MacKaye, Jello Biafra, Ray Cappo, and Henry Rollins, whose bands (respectively, Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys, Youth of Today, and Black Flag) are among the most influential groups in punk history. Members of other wellknown punk rock and harcore bands, such as Propagandhi, Paint It Black, Good Riddance, Trial, Catharsis, and Fall of Efrafa also share their thoughts on a variety of topics. Gerfired Ambrosh is the author of The Poetry of Punk: The Meaning Behind Punk Rock and Hardcore Lyrics and several academic papers on punk. As a touring musician, he has intimate knowledge of the goings-on in international punk communities.</p> -
<p>Culture is a necessary element of any social movement, and should be taken with utmost seriousness by anarchist activists -and this includes music. This book lays out an evaluative approach through which the relationships between anarchism and music, and culture more widely, can be explored. This is not a list of musics that somehow qualify as 'anarchist', but rather considers how it might be possible to think about the question: «What is Anarchist Music?» It is argued that production processes are more fruitful avenue of evaluation than aesthetics and lyrics, but DIY cultural production values can be subsumed under neo-liberal logics. As a bulwark against co-optation and recuperation, an oppositional counter-cultural consciouness is a necessary aspect for any radical culture, which finds expression within the anarchist movement through 'cultures of resistance'.</p> -
<p>«PUNK, doo wah, or do what?. Either way it’s become a part of the grand social circus. Dance music for dickheads, or a genuine expression of our anger and our despair?. There’s such a fine line between that which simply adds to the plastic crap that engulfs our lives and that which offers vision, hope dignity and a FUTURE. Can you tell the difference?»</p> <p>Written over three decades ago by the pioneers of anarcho-punk. This text seems all the more relevant today just with differently named puppets and masters. Originally handed out at CRASS gigs thirty odd years ago this angry tirade seems painfully relevant today, swap the names Reagan for Trump, Thatcher for Boris and we're back to basics!</p>
