This new book tells the story of anarcho-punk via the key locations and figures that were driving it forward in London between '77 and '88.
Hardcore punk, folk punk, pop punk, horror punk…punk comes in many forms! And anarcho-punk is one of the most politically engaged subgenres of an already pretty political movement, with a distinct penchant for activism and getting involved in community organising.
It seems only fitting then, that the story of the scene is told by someone who was inspired to be part of that action by the music, campaigning and solidarity and who can testify to the impact it had.
David Insurrection is a Scottish writer and activist who credits anarcho-punk with getting him involved in activism 40 years ago. He has authored a new book that looks specifically at how this genre of punk impacted London during its heyday, told through the focus of specific locations that were a key part of the movement.
