xXx Fanzine (1983-1988) Hardcore & Punk in the Eighties isn\u2019t a mere collection of articles, reviews and photographs from one of Hardcore America\u2019s best-known fanzines – it\u2019s a chronicle of punk\u2019s evolution in the 80\u2019s; a story of music and ideologies in motion. xXX\u2019s story picks up while the first wave of hardcore was in full swing. Major players including Minor Threat had already released landmark records and bands were loading up station wagons to play now infamous venues like The Channel, A7 or D.C. Space.<\/p>\n
While based in Boston, xXx\u2019s main writer and editor, Mike Gitter, not only concentrated on his own city\u2019s burgeoning scene, spear-headed by bands like SS Decontrol and D.Y.S., but looked to other states and countries for xXx\u2019s reportage. This hardcover, 11″x11″, 288-page book documents a time when hardcore and punk were not mutually exclusive and bands and cities had a chance to develop their own diverse and strident sounds.<\/p>\n
This creative ethos and aural zeitgeist is literally spelt out on the 19-song compilation that\u2019s included with xXx Fanzine, with either download card or limited edition 12inch; a wide variety of current hardcore, punk and hard music luminaries including Strife, letlive., Fu Manchu and The Riverboat Gamblers contributed their interpretations to some of the most influential songs to come from xXx\u2019s original era.<\/p>\n
Now, in addition to reproducing (and restoring) countless interviews and pages from the \u2018zine itself, xXx Fanzine re-interviews countless bands and musical prime-movers including Ian MacKaye, Keith Morris and members of Agnostic Front, Bad Brains and Cro-Mags to give the book a rare \u2018then and now\u2019 perspective. xXx Fanzine (1983-1988), Hardcore & Punk in the Eighties isn\u2019t merely a look back at hardcore\u2019s salad days, but a unique look at how punk\u2019s music and message shook the mainstream itself.<\/p>\n
