Punk: Attitude Part 7

Punk: Attitude is a documentary on the history of punk rock in the USA and UK. The film traces the different styles of punk from their roots in 60s garage and psychedelic bands (Count Five, the Stooges) through glam-punk (New York Dolls) to the 70s New York and London scenes and into the hardcore present. Interviews with many of the musicians are edited with live clips and historical footage.

@tbone2872 yeah that's it! The one where the one guy's like "yeah that girl passed out and I pissed on her face, so what?". I love T.S.O.L.! What's the name of Jack's book?

@spittingbloodhc That band was T.S.O.L. the singer's name was Jack Grisham that documentary you are talking about was American Hardcore and Brett Gurewitz from Bad Religion was who told the story about Jack Grisham being in drag and whoopin ass. Grisham has his own Youtube channel and he also recently published a book about all of his experiences as a west coast american punk rocker.
