  • SST Defies Industry, Defines New Music
    Page 1 The San Diego Union-Tribune October 1, 1995 Sunday SST Defies Industry, Defines New Music By Daniel de Vise KNIGHT-RIDDER NEWSPAPERS DATELINE: LOS ALAMITOS, CALIF. Ten years ago, when SST Records spun at the creative center of rock music, founder Greg Ginn was living with six other people in a one-room rehearsal studio. SST music was whipping like a sonic cyclone through every college campus in the country. SST bands criss-crossed the nation, luring young people away from arenas and corporate rock like no other force since the dawn of punk. But Greg Ginn had no shower and no car. He lived on a few thousand dollars a year, and relied on public transportation. "The reality is not only different, it's extremely, shockingly different than what people imagine," Ginn said. "We basically had one place where we rehearsed and lived and worked." SST, based in the Los Angeles suburb of Los Alamitos, is the quintessential in- dependent record label. For 17 years it has existed squarely outside the corporate rock industry, releasing music and spoken-word performances by artists who are not much interested in making money. When an SST band grows restless for earnings or for broader success, it simply leaves the label. Founded in 1978 in Hermosa Beach, Calif., SST Records has arguably produced more great rock bands than any other label of its era. Black Flag, fast, loud and socially aware, was probably the world's first hardcore punk band. Sonic Youth, a blend of white noise and pop, is a contender for best alternative-rock band ever.

  • California Noise: Tinkering with Hardcore and Heavy Metal in Southern California Steve Waksman
    ABSTRACT Tinkering has long figured prominently in the history of the electric guitar. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, two guitarists based in the burgeoning Southern California hard rock scene adapted technological tinkering to their musical endeavors. Edward Van Halen, lead guitarist for Van Halen, became the most celebrated rock guitar virtuoso of the 1980s, but was just as noted amongst guitar aficionados for his tinkering with the electric guitar, designing his own instruments out of the remains of guitars that he had dismembered in his own workshop. Greg Ginn, guitarist for Black Flag, ran his own amateur radio supply shop before forming the band, and named his noted independent record label, SST, after the solid state transistors that he used in his own tinkering. This paper explores the ways in which music-based tinkering played a part in the construction of virtuosity around the figure of Van Halen, and the definition of artistic ‘independence’ for the more confrontational Black Flag. It further posits that tinkering in popular music cuts across musical genres, and joins music to broader cultural currents around technology, such as technological enthusiasm, the do-it-yourself (DIY) ethos, and the use of technology for the purposes of fortifying masculinity. Keywords do-it-yourself, electric guitar, masculinity, popular music, technology, sound California Noise: Tinkering with Hardcore and Heavy Metal in Southern California Steve Waksman Tinkering has long been a part of the history of the electric guitar. Indeed, much of the work of electric guitar design, from refinements in body shape to alterations in electronics, could be loosely classified as tinkering.

    The Punk Vault : Lovedolls Superstar Fully Realized DVD Page 1 of 13 The Punk Vault « Selections from The Punk Vault [Love Canal] Lovedolls Superstar Fully Realized DVD Lovedolls Superstar Fully Realized - DVD Music Video Distributors/We Got Power Films In 1986, punk filmmaker Dave Markey made a sequel to his underground punk classic, Desperate Teenage Lovedolls with a much larger budget and titled it Lovedolls Superstar. It was a much longer film with a much better story and featured nearly all the characters of the first film, who were played by friends from the local punk rock scene. Much like the first film, it saw a very limited release obviously (what do you expect with a budget of 2000 dollars), and I never even got to see it until this DVD was released! Now 20 years later, it finally makes its way to DVD and easy accessibility, but instead of the original version, we get the “fully realized” version or directors cut if you will. Many scenes were added, some were removed, it was cleaned up, and it ends up being shorter than the original cut! Not being able to compare to the original, I can’t tell you if the film suffered for it, but I seriously doubt that it did.

There would be no Nirvana, Beastie Boys or Red Hot Chili Peppers were it not for hardcore pioneers such as Black Flag, Bad Brains and Minor Threat. Hardcore was more than music—it was a social movement created by Reagan-era misfit kids. The participants constituted a tribe unto themselves—some finding a voice, others an escape in the hard-edged music. And while some sought a better world, others were just angry and wanted to raise hell. AMERICAN HARDCORE traces this lost subculture, from its early roots in 1980 to its extinction in 1986. Page 2 ABOUT THE PRODUCTION Paul Rachman and Steven Blush met through the hardcore punk rock scene in the early 1980s. Steven promoted shows in Washington, DC, and Paul directed the first music videos for bands like Bad Brains and Gang Green.

  • Riff Schemes, Form, and the Genre of Early American Hardcore Punk (1978–83) * David B
    Volume 21, Number 1, March 2015 Copyright © 2015 Society for Music Theory Riff Schemes, Form, and the Genre of Early American Hardcore Punk (1978–83) * David B. Easley NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.15.21.1/mto.15.21.1.easley.php KEYWORDS: punk rock, hardcore, genre, popular music, riff, repetition, form, musical meaning, Bad Brains, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat ABSTRACT: This article explores the structures of guitar riffs in early American hardcore punk rock and their role in the creation of meaning within the genre. Drawing upon a corpus analysis of recordings by Bad Brains, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, and Minor Threat, the article begins by outlining the main ways in which guitar riffs are structured. Many reflect a structural basis in what I call “riff schemes,” organizing patterns of physical repetition and physical change made by a guitarist’s fretting hand. There are four main types, which are defined by the location of repetition within the riff (at the beginning or at the end) and whether the type of repetition is exact or altered: (1) Initial Repetition and Contrast, (2) Statement and Terminal Repetition, (3) Statement and Terminal Alteration, and (4) Model and Sequential Repetition. These schemes may also play an expressive role in song narratives of energy, intensity, and aggression, all of which are common tropes in oral histories of hardcore. In the final part of the article, I present analyses of two songs that demonstrate this use: Minor Threat’s “Straight Edge” and Black Flag’s “Rise Above.” Received July 2014 Introduction [1.1] American hardcore punk rock—or simply “hardcore”—is a subgenre of punk that first emerged in the late 1970s as a response to the “punk rock revolution” created by bands such as the Sex Pistols and the Ramones ( Blush 2010 , 14).

  • The End of Punk: Joe Carducci Interviewed Kevin Mccaighy , May
    A Quietus Interview The End Of Punk: Joe Carducci Interviewed Kevin Mccaighy , May 7th, 2013 05:58 In a wide-ranging and forthright interview Kevin McCaighy speaks to legendary SST lynch pin and underground rock writer Joe Carducci Add your comment » There has been a torrent of books written in the last decade devoted to the history of alternative and underground music, offering up stories that have previously gone undocumented. But one author, and one book in particular is often left out of this burgeoning list – the extraordinary Rock And The Pop Narcotic by Joe Carducci. Working as both A&R man and record producer at the now legendary SST Records in Los Angeles from 1981 to 1985, Carducci was at the heart of a revolutionary label with a core of LA-based bands that sought to change the face of independent music at a time when that term was barely defined. He did more than most in determining what form that independent music would be, and later, when almost no- one cared to weigh the merits of bands like Black Flag, Minutemen or Saint Vitus, Carducci set that record straight with a book that documented the SST phenomenon while also extrapolating an entire aesthetic of rock from its many achievements. Carducci’s avowed tenet that rock is enacted fully within a “small band format” is bracing and controversial to this day, but for this writer it is the most persuasive argument that has ever been set down in paper in terms of rock’s greatest attributes. His advocacy of a kinetic energy in opposition to the then prevailing 80s synth pop and recurrent Tin Pan Alley/ hit factory machine is as provocative a stance in 2013 as it was in 1991.

  • Pettibon Press Release
    EXHIBITIONS IN A BOX Compact exhibitions that generate expansive ideas RAYMOND PETTIBON: THE PUNK YEARS, 1978-86 "The flyers were one of the best things about working with SST," recalls the lanky Pettibon at his Redondo Beach studio. "It's more of a general audience when it goes on a telephone pole. It's not something that you can buy in a store or see on TV. You see it at a glance and you can't switch it off.” -from "Black Flag Cover is Pure Pettibon," by Jeff Spurrier, Los Angeles Times, July 1, 1984 ICI's newest series of exhibitions celebrates the fact that interesting projects can come in small parcels. Taking its lead from initiatives such as Marcel Duchamp's Boîte-en- valise and George Maciunas' Fluxkits, each Exhibitions in a Box provides source material from which venues can generate exhibitions tailored to their specific programs and local context. The first in the series, Raymond Pettibon: The Punk Years, 1978-86, taps into the steady stream of this California artist's early graphic arts production, before he appeared on the contemporary art stage. Assembled by Specific Object’s David Platzker, this Exhibition in a Box includes almost 200 examples of Pettibon's powerful designs made between 1978 and 1986, when he was immersed in the Los Angeles punk rock scene, doing the graphic design for Black Flag and other punk bands such as Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys, Go-Go's, Hüsker Dü, Meat Puppets, Minutemen, Ramones, Subhumans, Throbbing Gristle, Wasted Youth, and many more.
