Spray Paint The Walls

They were the pioneers of American hardcore, forming in California in 1978 and splitting up 8 years later leaving behind them a trail of blood, carnage and brutal, brilliant music. Throughout the years they fought with the police, record industry and their own fans. This is the band's story from the inside, drawing upon exclusive interviews with the group's members, their contemporaries and the groups who were inspired by them. It's also the story of American hardcore music, from the perspective of the group who did more to take the sound to the clubs, squats and community halls of America than any other.

Formé à Hermosa Beach, Californie, en 1978, pour une existence de huit ans, Black Flag a écrit les premières pages de l'histoire du Hardcore, laissant dans son sillage une trace indélébile marquant à tout jamais la face de la musique indépendante. « Spray Paint The Walls » est l'histoire de Black Flag, racontée de l'intérieur grâce aux interviews de ses membres, de ses contemporains, et de ses pairs de la mouvance Hardcore. C'est l'histoire de Greg Ginn, qui transforma son entreprise de composants électroniques en l'un des labels indépendants les plus influents au monde, c'est l'histoire d'Henry Rollins, qui, de simple fan, est devenu le chanteur du groupe, jusqu'à l'incarner dans son essence même. C'est aussi l'histoire des musiciens s'étant succédés au sein de Black Flag, accompagnant l'évolution d'une sonorité purement punk basée sur les fameux trois accords, pour conclure sa carrière sur un Heavy Metal mutant marqué par le Free Jazz. C'est surtout l'histoire d'une formation parmi les plus radicales ayant existé, à la tête d'une véritable déclaration de guerre contre l'establishment.

John Burbidge has aimed his brush, roller, and spray gun at everything from ritzy mansions to trashy trailers. He's gone underground to paint sewage-treatment plants and risked death to paint factory ceilings. He has no doubt inhaled enough noxious dust and paint fumes to shorten his life. But he's not dead yet. And the captivating characters he has encountered along the way have more than offset the toils of painting for a living. Ex-cons, addicts, drifting college grads, even a guy with a hole in his head-that's your typical paint crew, bonded only by the fact that they're caught in a job society thinks is for simpletons. In Watching Paint Dry, John Burbidge scrapes beneath the surface of painting's reputation for monotony while intimately portraying the men and women who craft the backdrop to our civilization. "Informative, funny, and sometimes heartbreaking . . . this is a book you will want to recommend to everyone you know." --Sharon Barrett, Chicago Sun-Times book critic for 28 years

But it's woken up very quickly when someone sneaks into school and vandalizes it with a swastika. Nobody can believe it. How could such a symbol of hate end up in the middle of their school?

And because Dana's the only Jewish girl in the whole town, everyone's treating her more like an outsider than ever. The mystery deepens as more swastikas begin to appear.
