Read the Book!

I just finished an amazing book-of-collected interviews from Punk Planet entitled: 'We Owe You Nothing-Punk Planet The collected interviews'. This book is a very informative read w/ interviews from various hardcore/punk acts such as Ian Mackeye, Los Crudos-Martin Sorrondeguy and the fellas, Endpoint's Duncan Barlow-probably more famously known as the singer from "By The Grace Of God", Mike Burkett(Fat Mike), and countless others. If one is interested in the history of good ol' fashioned hardcore and punk rock then one should definitely make a run to their local store for this one. The interviews are very in-depth and personal, and lots of talk about the business end of underground music, or lack thereof. A lot of it is about staying true to your craft, whether it be screen printing record sleeves by hand or singing your heart out to 7 people in an audience until it starts to matter. Jawbreaker (of course) and Jello Biafra were two of my absolute favorites of the interviews, and the book is just altogether GOOD. Check it.
