Summary: amazing
Review: An absolutely gorgeous book. Even if you don't [care] about punk rock, it would still be fascinating.This is also an exceptional historical document. The history of the margins is lost so easily -- a book like this does a tremendous service to posterity. As to the guy from SF who says that this book distorts history and gives "unnatural significance to marginal bands..." Well, it probably does, and so what??!! [....]

Summary: Visually Stunning
Review: An art book that doesn't get eaten alive by its art direction, a self-guided tour of the artistic self promotion of the punk rock era. Kudos to the art director, John Susoeff, for not getting carried and burying the true stars of this book: The flyers. Brilliant.

Summary: An Important and Well Designed Document
Review: I have been involved in the punk scene since 1978 and this book really captures the art, the energy and the feelings of punk. No book could cover everything but I swear this book has fliers from every significant band and scene in it. I especially enjoyed the short articles and poems from punks in each scene. If you are interested at all buy this book.

Summary: Best collection of punk flyer art ever.
Review: The first production from KILL YOUR IDOLS is a jamming book. They are working on a follow-up book to cover those influenced by early Punk Rock including more skate/surf Punk, speed metal and more. I hope it's as great as this.

Summary: a must for the counter culture coffee table!
Review: This artbook art does an admirable job of recapturing the spontaneity, dark humor and angst of a little known American DIY music scene: the punk rock underground of the late 70's and early 80's. For those unfamiliar with this type of free form art/social commentary/teen angst, this book will be a real eye opener. For those who eagerly awaited the next flier to appear on their local telephone pole directing them to the next Black Flag gig, this is one wickedly twisted stroll down memory lane. The only criticism is the scarcity of fliers from parts of the country outside the east and west coasts. However, fans of Raymond Pettibone's amazing art will be pleased to revisit his early work. An added bonus is the written commentary by local scenesters and musicians who were there when these fliers first appeared. This is juxtaposed by the merciful lack of pompous art historical/criticism blather. Props to the editors/designers who put the whole thing together: the overall layout and design mirrors the art presented: immediate, spontaneous and in your face.
