In-depth interviews with the main movers in the punk rock movementCrass members Penny Rimbaud, Gee Vaucher, and Steve Ignorantdetail the face of the revolution founded by these radical thinkers and artists. When punk ruled the waves, Crass waived the rulesby putting out their own records, films, and magazines and setting up a series of situationist pranks that were dutifully covered by the world s press. Not just another iconoclastic band, Crass was a musical, social, and political phenomenon: commune dwellersthat were rarely photographed and remained contemptuous of conventional pop stardom....

Small towns sometimes hold the biggest secrets. Kevin should know; attending college in sleepy little Mud River, he's got plenty of secrets of his own. None of them, however, can explain why he and his co-ed roommate are being framed for ecoterrorism. Untangling that mystery would probably be easy, if his personal, professional, and love lives didn't keep getting in the way. He's sure common sense and reason will prevail, and that his actual innocence will see him through. When dead bodies start turning up, however, he knows the government might well throw reason to the wind... Without A...

Oisin is a college freshman whose most noteworthy skill is, like most men his age, the unerring ability to jump to perfectly well-reasoned and yet completely incorrect conclusions. When he meets an imitation college student who might be named Gwen, he decides she's probably an undercover cop. She isn't, unfortunately--but after Oisin asks her out to lunch, he slowly begins to discover both the complicated history and personality hiding behind her rather gruff exterior. He might even come to like the strange young woman, if her troubles don't get him killed, first... Gorp is a thirty-thousand...

And as the characters aren't waxworks but in many cases living beings, some have staggered, tramped or even rocketed back into public life. It's a bit tricky to sort the crap from the class but this unusual book deserves the latter tag. If your world was influenced by Crass, the Levellers or Adam & The Ants, Let's Submerge is for you (Berger has written the definitive work on Crass and also a biog of the Levellers). The anthology is more than memoir - it's a personal take on punk...

As noted in the description of the first volume of this book, every punk book seems to be about the bands, about the 'faces', about the music. Volume 2 of All The Young Punks brings you more stories from the frontline, from the trenches. Stories from the foot soldiers who made punk what it was without turning it into a career. Born too late for the inner circle, but shining like a thousand comets nonetheless - this is the story of the punks. "It felt like pure energy - like a Sherbet Dip, when you have the first mouthful and your face scrunches up" "Punk Rock had saved me and I dedicated...

"I also remember a group of mates finding an abandoned copy of the Sex Pistols file in a park and reading it like it was a porn mag or something."
