Editorial Reviews

Review

"...makes the reader say, Holy Shit! This is one of the best books for our scene that I've ever seen." -- Heckler, October 1999, Sonny Mayugba


Product Description

Raw, brazen and totally intense, Fucked Up + Photocopied is a collection of frenetic flyers produced for the American punk scene between 1977 and 1985. Many were created by the musicians themselves and demonstrate the emphasis within the punk scene on individuality and the manic urge of its members to create things new.

Images were compiled out of whatever material could be found, often photocopied and, still warm, stapled to the nearest telephone pole to warn the world about next week's gig. One glance and you can sense the fury of live performances by bands such as Black Flag, the Dead Kennedys and The Minutemen, and, through the subtext the reader is exposed to the psyche of a generation of musicians stripped bare: The Germs, J.F.A, NOFX, The Circle Jerks, X, Devo, The Cramps, The Exploited, Screamers, The Avengers, The Dils and more.

Fucked Up + Photocopied is the definitive reference book on the North American Punk scene and covers New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, MA, San Jose, CA, Washington, DC, Houston, TX, and Canada's Toronto and Vancouver.

Winner of the Firecracker Alternative Book Award 2000 for Music.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Important and Well Designed Document, April 1, 2000
By A Customer
I have been involved in the punk scene since 1978 and this book really captures the art, the energy and the feelings of punk. No book could cover everything but I swear this book has fliers from every significant band and scene in it. I especially enjoyed the short articles and poems from punks in each scene. If you are interested at all buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing, February 22, 2002
By a geriatric punk (san francisco) - See all my reviews
An absolutely gorgeous book. Even if you don't [care] about punk rock, it would still be fascinating.

This is also an exceptional historical document. The history of the margins is lost so easily -- a book like this does a tremendous service to posterity.

As to the guy from SF who says that this book distorts history and gives "unnatural significance to marginal bands..." Well, it probably does, and so what??!! [....]
