Nancy Barile - I'm Not Holding Your Coat: My Bruises-and-All Memoir of Punk Rock Rebellion
From Catholic schoolgirl to glam maniac to the organizer of classic early 1980s East Coast hardcore shows, Nancy Barile made her place behind the boards and right in the front row as S.S.D., MINOR THREAT, BAD BRAINS, DEAD KENNEDYS, and BLACK FLAG wrote new rules. In the dangerous early years of punk, she rebelled, fighting for fair space as she found her purpose. This book features over 50 live and candid photos of BAD BRAINS, MINOR THREAT, S.S.D., Andy Warhol, and more, unique insider perspective and life lessons from this national award-winning teacher on the dynamics of the D.I.Y. punk scene and an intro with Ian MacKaye.

New 90s Podcast
Royal Trux - Cats and Dogs
On Cats and Dogs, Royal Trux synthesized 70s blues and psychedelic rock through a 90s lo-fi lens to create a unique if frustrating listen
Despite what the million-dollar deal with Virgin Records might have implied, Royal Trux we're never going to be hitmakers. The label bought their cool factor-based largely on the 1993 album Cats and Dogs, their first to embrace the songwriting end of their lo-fi aesthetic that danced on the edges of 90s rock via critical praise and underground hype. Part droning Velvet Underground, part deconstructed Exile On Main Street-era Rolling Stones, with touches of Sonic Youth and Pavement, Royal Trux concocted a stew of brittle, off-kilter blues without a hint of irony. The result is occasionally blistering, but not without fragile moments that sound like collapse is imminent. Special Guest: Rudy Stowell - DMO Union
