Punk in NYC’s Lower East Side 1981-1991 [PDF ebook] 
Scene History Series, Vol 1

Drawing on both archival documents and original interviews, this zine explores the music of the eras bands, including Bad Brains, Cro-Mags, Agnostic Front, False Prophets, Urgent Fury, No Thanks, and Reagan Youth. At the same time, the scene is situated within the broader social context, from the election of Ronald Reagan to the Tompkins Square Riots. Woven throughout is the tragic story of New York Citys most legendary anarcho-punk, Reagan Youths Dave Insurgent.
