Deffinetly not crap

This book is everything anybody even remotly interested in the punk scene would ever want to know. It really tells you what ur getting into. It also gives you a great back on not only the music, but the movment too.

Lots of Help

When this book first came out I was still in highschool. A struggling punk trying to make it in a world of people who just didn't understand. This book helped to reasure me of what i believed, as well as informing me of things I did not know. I actualy gave this book to my parents to read in hopes of having them understand what I felt. I feel as though it is a book everyone should read weather you are a punk, a skin, a mod or just an everyday person. It is a great explination to something most people don't understand.

THE philosophy of punk: More Than Noise

This is probably the best book on punk i've ever read and since it focuses on more of the unpopular bands it's gaurenteeed to give the reader 60% or more new info.

politics behind the music!

This books is great for anyone that wants some real history(not just the Clash or the Pistols) of punk rock. Everything from Anti-Rascism, to Vegitarianism to DIY!!! Its Rad! Great pictures too!! This book covers everything that i've seen in the punk community. This book almost ignores all those huge punk bands that everyone has heard..and that is good cause im sick of those bands!!!!
