SOBER LIVING FOR THE REVOLUTION / Hardcore Punk, Straight Edge And Radical Politics.     Straight edge has persisted as a drug-free, hardcore punk subculture for 25 years. Its political legacy, however, remains ambiguous – often associated with self-righteous macho posturing and conservative puritanism. While certain elements of straight edge culture feed into such perception, the movement´s political history is far more complex. Since straight edge´s origins in Washington, D.C. in the early 1980s, it has been linked to radical thought and action by countless individuals, bands, and entire scenes worldwide. Sober Living for the Revolution traces this history. It includes contributions – in the form of in-depth interviews, essays, and manifestos – by numerous artists and activists connected to straight edge, from Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat/Fugazi) and Mark Andersen (Dance of Days/Positive Force DC) to Dennis Lyxzén (Refused/The (International) Noise Conspiracy) and Andy Hurley (Racetraitor/Fall Out Boy), from bands such as ManLiftingBanner and Point of No Return to feminist and queer initiatives, from radical collectives like CrimethInc. and Alpine Anarchist Productions to the Emancypunx project and many others dedicated as much to sober living as to the fight for a better world.

THE DAY THE COUNTRY DIED / Ian Glasper.     "The Day The Country Died" is the long-awaited follow-up to Ian Glasper´s successful "Burning Britain", and sees the author exploring in minute detail the obscure, esoteric, UK anarcho-punk scene of the early Eighties. If the bands in "Burning Britain" were loud, political and uncompromising, those examined in "The Day The Country Died" were even more so, totally prepared to risk their liberty to communicate the ideals they believed in so passionately. With Crass and Poison Girls opening the floodgates, the arrival of bands such as Zoundz, Flux Of Pink Indians, Conflict, Subhumans, Dirt, The Mob, Rudimentary Peni, Anti-Sect, Omega Tribe andIcons Of Filth heralded a brand new age of honesty and integrity in underground music. It was a time when punk stopped being merely a radical fashion statement, and became a force for real social change; a genuine revolutionary movement, driven by some of the most challenging noises ever committed to tape. Anarchy, as regards punk rock, no longer meant ´cash from chaos´, it meant ´freedom, peace and unity´. Anarcho-punk took the rebellion inherent in punk from Day One to a whole new level of personal awareness. All the scene´s biggest names, and most of the smaller ones, are comprehensively covered with brand new, exclusive interviews and hundreds of previously unseen photographs. "The Day The Country Died" is the perfect companion piece to "Burning Britain" for anyone even remotely interested in the UK punk scene.” - approx.
