Going Underground: American Punk 1979–1992, Second Edition by George Hurchalla is a comprehensive look at the American underground punk scene of the 1980s. A product of decades of research and personal experience, this book chronicles how punk's DIY spirit thrived across the country, from well-known scenes in Los Angeles and New York to local hubs in Chicago, Philadelphia, and beyond. Hurchalla blends his own experiences with an oral history from dozens of musicians, promoters, artists, and fanzine creators. The book covers countless bands, including Hüsker Dü, Bad Brains, and Minutemen, as well as essential zines of the era. Featuring over a hundred unique photos and show flyers from across the nation, Going Underground is a definitive account of a self-sustaining, grassroots movement that flourished in seedy clubs and indie record shops.
