OVERVIEW: xXx Fanzine (1983-1988), Hardcore &
Punk in the Eighties isn’t merely a collection of articles, reviews and
photographs from one of Hardcore America’s best-known fanzines. It’s a
chronicle of punk’s evolution in the 80’s: a story of music and ideologies in
motion. xXx’s story picks up while the first wave of hardcore was in full
swing. Major players including Minor Threat had already released landmark
records and bands were loading up station wagons to play now infamous venues
like The Channel, A7 or D.C. Space.While based in Boston, xXx’s main writer and
editor, Mike Gitter, not only concentrated on his own city’s burgeoning scene,
spearheaded by bands like SS Decontrol and D.Y.S., but looked to other states
and countries for xXx’s reportage. This 288 page book documents a time when hardcore
and punk were not mutually exclusive and bands and cities had a chance to
developtheir own diverse and strident sounds. This creative ethos and aural
zeitgeist is literally spelt out on the 19-song compilation that’s included
with xXx Fanzine, a limited-edition 12” (available exclusively through
mail-order or special sales outlets). A wide variety of current hardcore, punk
and hard music luminaries including Strife, letlive, Fu Manchu and The
Riverboat Gamblers contributed their interpretations to some of the most
influential songs to come from xXx’s original era. Now, in addition to
reproducing (and restoring) countless interviews and pages from the ‘zine
itself, xXx Fanzine re-interviews countless bands and musical prime-movers
including Ian MacKaye, Keith Morris and members of Agnostic Front, Bad Brains
and Cro-Mags to give the book a rare “Then-And-Now” perspective.
