Berger, G. (2009). The Story of Crass. (320). Binghamton, New York: PM Press.
Abstract: << Crass was the anarcho-punk face of a revolutionary movement founded by radical thinkers and artists Penny Rimbaud, Gee Vaucher, and Steve Ignorant. When punk ruled the waves, Crass waived the rules and took it further, putting out their own records, films, and magazines and setting up a series of situationist pranks that were dutifully covered by the world’s press. Not just another iconoclastic band, Crass was a musical, social, and political phenomenon.
Commune dwellers who were rarely photographed and remained contemptuous of conventional pop stardom; their members explored and finally exhausted the possibilities of punk-led anarchy. They have at last collaborated on telling the whole Crass story, giving access to many never-before-seen photos and interviews. >>

Abstract: << 'The Underground in China' brings together more than 350 pages of photography, interviews, and first-hand observations from inside a thriving alternative music scene that rarely reaches Western audiences.
About the book:
In 2013, Ryan Dyer arrived in China with little idea of what lay beneath the surface of its music scene. Within a week, he found himself at an underground show featuring the band Rectal Wench. That night opened the door to a world few outsiders ever see.
Over the next eight years, Dyer travelled across Beijing, Tianjin, Suzhou, and Shanghai, documenting the country’s explosive punk and metal underground. Armed with a camera and a journalist’s curiosity, he attended hundreds of shows, capturing bands that express what it means to be an artist in modern China.
The Underground in China: Metal, Punk, Hardcore and Noise 2013–2021 brings together more than 350 pages of photography, interviews, and first-hand observations from inside this thriving scene. Featuring over 100 bands across genres including grindcore, black metal, hardcore punk, noise, and experimental music, the book offers a rare glimpse into a creative community that seldom reaches Western audiences.
FEATURING OVER 100 BANDS INCLUDING: The Dark Prison Massacre, Nine Treasures, Torturing Nurse, Frozen Moon, Scare the Children, Rectal Wench, Impure Injection, Suffocated, Dreamspirit, Ritual Day, Black Kirin, Gum Bleed, Dummy Toys and more!

Malkin, J. (2025). Punk Spirit!: An Oral History of Punk Rock, Spirituality, and Liberation. London, England: Bloomsbury Academic.
Abstract: << A wide cast of musicians and artists provide surprising and thought-provoking insights into punk rock from the lens of spirituality and liberation.
Punk Spirit! is an oral history that examines this movement from many unique perspectives, bringing together well-known and cutting-edge bands including Sex Pistols, Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys, The Ramones, Gang of Four, Pussy Riot, Crass, Talking Heads, Propagandhi, The Slits, Bad Religion, Shelter, Rebel Riot, Blackfire, and many others.
Punk Spirit! ventures into the emotional and personal experiences of punk artists and activists from around the world and highlights intelligent, thoughtful, and humorous discussions on liberation, spirituality, and living freely. They discuss a myriad of topics from creativity and anger to freedom from suffering and the ways that punk rock has opposed or embodied religious and moral tenets.
Chapters dive deeply into a variety of interconnected realms of punk rock such as the subgenre of straight edge, Krishnacore and Taqwacore, evangelical punk concerts in southern California churches, illegal punk concerts in East German churches, anti-religious sentiment within punk rock, the vital connections between punk and self-expression, and the myriad ways punk rock has been combined with spiritual and religious traditions to illuminate ideas from science, atheism, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and other ways of being in the world. >>
