You may have noticed a huge oversight in the film "American Hardcore"... The Midwest! But now you can read the new book by Tony Rettman, Why Be Something That You're Not Detroit Hardcore 1979-1985.
Exact quotes from the people who were there are intermingled with the author's narration to tell the story. Their commentary is hilarious. The last third of the book is posters, pictures, and gig anthology. Almost every page throughout the entire book is littered with flyers, photos, zine pages, and other nostalgia.
The Midwest bands/venues/zines covered are mostly from Lansing, Kalamazoo, and Detroit, MI and Ohio. There are also a lot of quotes from the bands who traveled here to play from Washington, D.C. and California.
