Marc Spitz with Brendan Mullen: We Got the Neutron Bomb - The Untold Story of L.A. Punk
Barney Hoskyns, Village Voice, 2001
IT'S KINDA IRONIC that the untold story of the Los Angeles punk scene should be officially told (tolled?) at a time when New York City – L.A.'s age-old enemy-nemesis and pop-cultural obverse – is reconnecting with its own slumming punk rock roots via the Strokes and their ilk. El Lay suffered then from the noses-in-the-air disdain of Manhattan's junkie Rimbauds and it may – NYC's recent devastation notwithstanding – still suffer now.
