Why read it?
1 author picked American Hardcore as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
American Hardcore is like the more aggressive cousin to Please Kill Me. While the latter is more of a narrative, American Hardcore is an audiophileās masterpiece. It catalogs the evolution of hardcore music from coast to coast: its code of ethics, bloody brawls, and unrelenting spirit. It is as much a compilation of photographs and shows flyers as it is in interviews, providing a birdās-eye view of the subculture. I appreciate this book for its scope and its commitment to documentation.Ā
From Taylor's list on journalism and alternative culture.
