| | American Hardcore (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | Hardcore, a faster, louder style of punk rock, developed in Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles in the late '70s, led by such bands as Bad Brains and Black Flag. |
 | | Rachman effectively charts the spread of hardcore, with interviews and archival footage of such musical footnotes as 7 Seconds from Reno, Nev., and Austin's MDC (Millions of Dead Cops). |
 | | The interviews, with most of hardcore's original players, are entertaining and insightful, especially Minor Threat founder Ian MacKaye, who explains the straight-edge movement (no drugs, alcohol or premarital sex) that Minor Threat pioneered, and Black Flag singer Henry Rollins, who almost serves as a one-man timeline of hardcore. |
