Anarcho-Punk: Music and Resistance in London 1977-1988
Anarcho-Punk - 1977-1988 - Book - by David Insurrection
(2024)
Anarcho-Punk: Music and Resistance in London 1977-1988 by
David Insurrection is the distillation of three years work. It’s the
story of an oft overlooked scene. Anarcho-punk in the 1980s
truly rocked the boat. Much more than music it set out to
change the world and in a not insignificant way did just that. It
inspired a generation of activists, artists and musicians to take up
the fight for a better fairer world. They tore down the walls. The
Sex Pistols may have opened the door but the Crass punks
charged through it. This is their story. As we return to the
embattled 1970s and 1980s David takes us on a journey where
we visit some of the scene’s most significant locations and hot
spots, to places where change mattered and the spirit of revolt
burned brightest.
David Insurrection was born in 1962 and raised in NE Scotland.
He’s married with one daughter. At the age of 17 in the autumn
of 1979 he discovered punk rock. It would leave a lasting
impression on him. In 1980 he first heard Crass. That experience
changed everything and would determine the direction his life
took from that point onwards. In 1984 he began to identify as an
anarchist and took his first activist steps. By this time he had
immersed himself in everything anarcho-punk. In 1988 he
produced his first zine. His next zine in 1990 was called
Insurrection. In 1993 he moved to London. He stayed there for
four and a half years returning to his native Scotland in 1997. It
was during his stay in London that he first got a hankering for
writing a book on anarcho-punk. He’s still involved in the scene
to this day.
