As a member of the seminal punk band Black Flag, Henry Rollins kept detailed tour diaries that form the basis of
Get in the Van. Rollins’s observations range from the wry to the raucous in this blistering account of a six-year career with the band – a time marked by crazed fans, vicious cops, near-starvation, substance abuse, and mind numbing all-night drives. Rollins decided to revise this edition by adding a wealth of new photographs, a new foreword, and an afterword to include some ‘where-are-they-now’ information on the people featured in the book. This new edition includes 40 previously unpublished black-and-white photographs from Rollins’s private collection and show flyers by artist Raymond Pettibon. Called ‘a soul-frying experience not to be undertaken by lightweights’ by
Wired magazine,
Get in the Van perfectly embodies what one critic called the ‘secular gospel’ of one of punk and post-punk’s most respected and controversial figures.
