It's been some years since I've read this book and I would love to re-read some of it to find out whether my opinion has changed over the years. But this is probably one of the best books on punk (ethics) and DIY ever written.
Norman Brannon publishes interviews with several hardcore bands from his Anti-Matter fanzine of the 90s. Not the usual "what are your influences, your favourite band" questions, but real personal questions to young people that play in hardcore-punk bands, who often feel a...more

My review of Anti-Matter Anthology from Verbicide issue #22 (Winter 2008):
The Anti-Matter Anthology: A 1990s Post-Punk & Hardcore Reader compiles the best interviews from Norman Brannon’s early- to mid-‘90s zine, Anti-Matter. A lot of people try to conduct interviews, but there are few who pull it off well by probing their subjects with thoughtful questions, getting past the surface of the performer or public figure and exposing the human element and the belief system that makes them who the...more

A research book for my 90's blog: Damn The Man, Save The Empire! at http://co-optingthe90s.blogspot.com/
Library needed it back. Never touched it. Will eventually get it again.

Well, Norman is a good friend of mine and I remember this in it's fanzine version fondly so of course I am biased. Great reminiscences for the early to mid-90's hardcore (i am not going to use the e-m-o word) scene. Great interviews and an amazing resource for those of us who were there to remember it by, and those who were not to learn a bit about the time. Recommended.
It's not a nostalgia trip, but when it is, it's purely the reader's.
