Mark Andersen / Mark Jenkins "Dance Of Days: Two Decades Of Punk In The Nation's Capital" - Book (Expanded Edition)

The story of Washington, DC's creative, politically insurgent punk scene is brought to life by local activist Mark Andersen and arts writer Mark Jenkins in this updated and expanded fourth edition of "Dance Of Days." The nation's capital gave birth to the most fertile and influential punk underground of the '80s and '90s. "Dance Of Days" 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 PMA, straight edge, Dischord Records, Revolution Summer, Positive Force, Riot Grrrl and emo. This book provides a window on the hidden history of a grassroots rock revolution that burst into the mainstream in the early '90s.
