The booklet features photographs, press clippings, and LP Box Lot: 50 extensive liner notes by renowned musician and producer Don Fleming, whose band NON-RETURNABLE Velvet Monkeys headlined Chalk Circle’s fi rst shows. Chalk Circle, although personally part of the birth of hardcore as friends and fans of the Discord scene, musically never fi t in to the stringent rules of that scene. They sound like they were from a time where experimentation was rewarded, where new LP ideas were examined and transformed by people who were curious and excited to fi t with the moment. The ideas were then transformed again, when the moment changed. • LP come with 16-page booklet of photos and text In an interview by Alex Guiness in 1982, in response to a question about how to label • Booklet includes detailed liner Chalk Circle, vocalist/guitarist Mary Green answered, “We’ll create our own tag”. For notes by Don Fleming those who want a tag, well, think about the raw experimental U.S. punk of Flipper, • Retrospective full-length Bush Tetras, and The Minutemen, or the innovative post-punk of Delta 5, The Swell album of out-of-print and Maps, Liliput, and The Slits. Think about the youthful energy of DC Hardcore and the unreleased songs enthusiasm of teenagers making music that comes from the heart and not from copy- ing riffs from rock records. Think about the straight-laced nature of the nation’s capi- tal and the joy of creating your own culture in a stifl ing straight world. Think about the Track Listing promise of punk to teenage women.

Reviewed by Craig Clarke (Independent Scholar) Published on H-DC (July, 2007) A Primary Source on the History of D.C. Punk Rock Has punk rock been taken seriously as an important social and cultural movement of the late twentieth century? One is hard-pressed to locate a large amount of scholarly assessment of punk rock as a cultural phenomenon of the American landscape. Perhaps it is too easy to push punk rock to the margins of cultural history and dismiss any contribution, as it was also easy to push punk to the contemporary margins of society at its birth and initial heyday. Yet when we look closely at the historical record of punk's origins in the late 1970s and punk's progression into the early 1980s, the movement's cultural impact points to anything but marginal. After exploding in New York City in the late 1970s with the musical group The Ramones and then jumping across the Atlantic shortly thereafter to London with British bands such as The Sex Pistols and The Clash, punk rock began to catch on as a musical and cultural movement on the American East Coast, especially Washington, D.C. The origins of punk in D.C. can be pinpointed to two specific locations, Woodrow Wilson High School in Tenleytown and the Häagen-Dazs ice cream store in Georgetown.

Analyzing the Practices of a Youth Subculture During the 1980S
Did Punk Matter?: Analyzing the Practices of a Youth Subculture During the 1980s Kevin Mattson In 1991, an odd thing happened in the world of popular culture. A new single by the group Nirvana, "Smells Like Teen Spirit," with its abrasive tones and acidic lyrics about mainstream youth culture ("Here we are now, entertain us. ... I feel stupid and contagious"), chased Michael Jackson off the charts. From September to December, 1991, 3.5 million Americans rushed out to buy Nirvana's follow-up album, Nevermind. Soon, Nirvana's lead singer, Kurt Cobain, graced the cover of Rolling Stone, decked out in a cheap t-shirt with "Corporate Magazines Still Suck" scrawled on it, sneering at his newly found mass audience. Something certainly seemed to be happening here.1 Though the mass media treated Cobain like any other rock star, and though he played out his role to a tee (even committing the requisite suicide), he never denied that his music and ideas came from something bigger than himself. Cobain talked quite a bit about the youth subculture in which his music was nurtured. When asked what he hoped for from his fame, he explained, "Hopefully, [our fans] like our music and listen to something else that's in the same vein, that's a bit different from Van Halen. Hopefully they'll be exposed to the underground by reading interviews with us. Knowing that we do come from a punk-rock world, maybe they'll look into that and change their ways a bit." In essence, Cobain hoped that the youth counterculture and underground that he was a part of would come above ground, if only for a fleeting moment.2 0026-3079/2001/4201-069$2.50/0 American Studies, 42:1 (Spring 2001): 69-97 69 70 Kevin Mattson Cobain was referring to a widespread punk rock music scene and youth subculture that sprang up during the conservative era of the 1980s.

Read the Following Text and Answer the Questions. the Riot
Read the following text and answer the questions. The riot grrrl returns Dan Hancox – October 3, 2013 – The National Among the various waves of western feminism and rebellious youth subcultures since the 1960s, riot grrrl stands out as one of the most provocative, but also one of the most thoughtful and deliberative. Its roots were in the punk and new wave music and attitude of the late 1970s and 1980s, but it was not until the early 1990s that the term emerged from the punk scenes of Washington DC and the north-western region of the United 5 States, drawing on a growing youth feminist movement and the DIY youth culture embodied in homemade, cut-and-paste fanzines. References to “revolution girl style now” and “riot girls” mutated into the punk growl not of docile girls but “grrrls”. It was quickly and substantially misunderstood by the very culture they were rebelling against: as bands like Bikini Kill and Bratmobile began to attract attention beyond the punk underground, so did the American 10 media’s excitement about this “new big thing”, in the aftermath of grunge. This excitement quickly manifested itself in a tendency to generalise, fetishise and trivialise the things the riot grrrls were singing about, and conveying through their broader aesthetics: in fanzines, onstage, or otherwise. “There were,” Sharon Cheslow said in the 11-part Riot Grrrl Retrospective documentary, “a lot of very important ideas that I think the mainstream media couldn’t handle, so it was easier to focus on the fact that these were girls who 15 were wearing barrettes in their hair or writing ‘slut’ on their stomach.” Covering issues like misogyny, abuse and patriarchy were considered too contentious or complex for the American mainstream, and instead, the movement was patronised in a way which confirmed much of their original anger.

Outside Mute? Ut, No Wave and Blast First
Mute Records Outside Mute? Ut, No Wave and Blast First 9 Outside Mute? Ut, No Wave and Blast First Ieuan Franklin Introduction: Margins This chapter focuses on the all-female no wave band Ut – founded in New York in 1978 by Jacqui Ham, Nina Canal and Sally Young and relocated to London in 1980 – and the similarly uncompromising British independent label Blast First (a sub-label of Mute), to which Ut were signed between 1986 and 1989. Firstly, a proviso – it does not promise to be a comprehensive biography or profile of either the band or label, although I hope to offer some new insights about both. I will not have much scope to discuss the band’s recorded output – here I defer to those fanzine writers and music critics, such as Elizabeth Johnson, who have brilliantly articulated the unusual nature of the band’s sound, both in concert and on record: For me, Ut represent one of the most intense musical experiences in the known universe. Are you ready to have your head trip with infinite velocity, sheer and primal ferocity? … To consider their music a random clang of guitars, erratic rhythms, and screamingly abstract vocals is to commit exorcism on their cohesive dark-sided collage. (‘50,000 Reasons’ n.d.) This chapter will instead seek to give a detailed sense of the marginality of Ut in the UK context of being caught between record label disinterest, and a weekly music press that was sometimes guilty of belittling or objectifying female musicians (Reddington 2012: 53). It will explore the relationships of Ut, the band’s own label Out Records and Blast First with their ‘parent’ labels Rough Trade and Mute.
