You might say that punk has played a pivotal role in my life. Needless to say, I have also seen a great deal of media misrepresentation over the years. I completely agree with Craig O’Hara’s perception when he states in his fine introduction to American punk rock, self-explanatorily entitled The Philosophy of Punk: More than Noise, that “Punk has been characterized as a self-destructive, violence oriented fad [...] which had no real significance.” (1999: 43.) He quotes Larry Zbach of Maximum RockNRoll, one of the better known international punk fanzines1, who speaks of “repeated media distortion” which has lead to a situation wherein “more and more people adopt the appearance of Punk [but] have less and less of an idea of its content. -

The Bands of Detroit
IT’S FREE! TAKE ONE! DETROIT PUNK ROCK SCENE REPORT It seems that the arsenal of democracy has been raided, pillaged, and ultimately, neglected. A city once teeming with nearly two million residents has seemingly emptied to 720,000 in half a century’s time (the actual number is likely around 770,000 residing citizens, including those who aren’t registered), leaving numerous plots of land vacant and unused. Unfortunately, those areas are seldom filled with proactive squatters or off-the-grid residents; most are not even occupied at all. The majority of the east and northwest sides of the city are examples of this urban blight. Detroit has lost its base of income in its taxpaying residents, simultaneously retaining an anchor of burdensome (whether it’s voluntary or not) poverty-stricken, government-dependent citizens. Just across the Detroit city borders are the gated communities of xenophobic suburban families, who turn their collective noses at all that does not beckon to their will and their wallet. Somewhere, in the narrow cracks between these two aforementioned sets of undesirables, is the single best punk rock scene you’ve heard nary a tale of, the one that everyone in the U.S. and abroad tends to overlook. Despite receiving regular touring acts (Subhumans, Terror, Common Enemy, Star Fucking Hipsters, Entombed, GBH, the Adicts, Millions of Dead Cops, Mouth Sewn Shut, DRI, DOA, etc), Detroit doesn’t seem to get any recognition for homegrown punk rock, even though we were the ones who got the ball rolling in the late 60s. Some of the city’s naysayers are little more than punk rock Glenn Becks or Charlie Sheens, while others have had genuinely bad experiences; however, if the world is willing to listen to what we as Detroiters have to say with an unbiased ear, we are willing to speak, candidly and coherently. -

I wanted to ask you about the name PANTYCHRIST. Where did that come from and what is the significance of the name ? Did it come in anyway from the band CONDO-CHRIST because there was a band from London called CONDO-CHRIST ? P: No. We didn’t even know that. D: CONDOM CHRIST ? No CONDO-CHRIST. P: This guy from another band had been watching us jam and we were tossing around names and we couldn’t come up with anything and he named us. We didn’t even know but there is another PANTY CHRIST. Some cross- dressing Japanese sampling guy who e-mailed us and said “Cool, use my name”. That’s okay. So that was cool. That is good. D: It’s because Izabelle looks really good in underwear. When we first started playing she PANTYCHRIST (FROM LEFT TO RIGHT): Amy with her back to us, Danyell on vocals, and Izabelle used to wear her underwear on stage. It was on guitar. Bob the Builder underwear. A couple of times in a row. You must have had those on for a PANTYCHRIST are a 4-piece punk band from while. No just joking (laughter). the steel capital of Canada. At the time of this What is the scene like in Hamilton ? From interview the band had released an 8-song our perspective it seems like a pretty thriving demo, a self-released ep, and were about to scene. -

There had yet to be a punk rock band there until the mid-2000s. In the following paper, I detail the rise of heavy metal in Morocco. Beginning with the early metal scene, I trace through critical moments in its growth, building up to the origins of the Moroccan punk scene and the state of those subcultures in recent years. -
Download a PDF of the Inventory B
PUBLIC COLLECTORS Records Collection Inventory of: Marc Fischer Chicago, IL, USA About PUBLIC COLLECTORS Public Collectors consists of informal agreements where collectors allow the contents of their collection to be published and permit those who are curious to directly experience the objects in person. Participants must be willing to type up an inventory of their collection, provide a means of contact and share their collection with the public. Collectors can be based in any geographic location. Public Collectors is founded upon the concern that there are many types of cultural artifacts that public libraries, museums and other institutions and archives either do not collect or do not make freely accessible. Public Collectors asks individuals that have had the luxury to amass, organize, and inventory these materials to help reverse this lack by making their collections public. The purpose of this project is for large collections of materials to become accessible so that knowledge, ideas and expertise can be freely shared and exchanged. Public Collectors is not intended, nor should it be used for buying and selling objects. There are many preexisting venues for that. Collectors can accommodate viewers at whatever location is most com - fortable or convenient for them. If their collection is portable or can be viewed in a location other than the collector’s home, this would still be an appropriate way to participate in the project. In addition to hosting collection inventories and other information, www.publiccollectors.org includes digital collections that are suitable for web presentation, do not have a physical material analog, or are difficult or impossible to experience otherwise. -
