Publisher's Synopsis
Washington DC's creative, political insurgent punk scene is studied for the first time by local activist Mark Andersen and arts writer Mark Jenkins in this third edition of Dance of Days, now including a new preface and final chapter. The nation's capital gave birth to the most fertile and influential punk underground of the 1980s and '90s. This book recounts the rise of trailblazing artists such as Bad Brains, Henry Rollins, Minor Threat, Rites of Spring, Fugazi and Bikini Kill, while examining the roots of everything from PMA to Riot Grrl. Illustrated with b/w photos.
