I wrote a review of Dave Markey & Jordan Schwartz’s “WE GOT POWER” book of early 80s Southern California hardcore punk photos and essays on my Hedonist Jive blog. Come on over and read it!

I got this book in the mail yesterday, and totally immersed myself in it for an hour before being called away for more important duties, like parenting and husbanding and being responsible & all that. It’s a fantastic look/read so far – capturing the early 80s LA suburbs and punk’s surreal explosion there better than anything I’ve ever seen, thanks to photographs of participants as opposed to solely of bands. More to come on this one.
