In 1979, a soon-to-erupt punk scene took hold in Washington DC with bands like Bad Brains, Trenchmouth, The Teen Idles, The Untouchables, and the Slickee Boys, among others, at the forefront. Lucian Perkins, later a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist for the Washington Post, was then an intern who photographed several pivotal shows over a short period of time. His now iconic photos of these shows are complemented by a narrative from Alec MacKaye and an essay by Henry Rollins. A book that reflects the creative energy of this punk culture.
