Washington, DC's creative, politically insurgent punk scene is studied for the first time by local activist Mark Andersen and arts writer Mark Jenkins.
The nation's capital gave birth to the most influential punk underground of the '80s and '90s.

This book provides a window on the hidden history of a grassroots revolution that burst into the mainstream in the early '90s following the success of Nirvana.
