Rettman, T. (2010). Why Be Something That You're Not: Detroit Hardcore 1979-1985. Huntington Beach, California: Revelation Records.
Abstract: << In the early 70s, Detroit was the musical hub of America, but by the early eighties, it was a wasteland. It took a group of skateboarders, a teacher and a census clerk to wake the city up and start one of the first hardcore punk scenes in America.
“Why Be Something That You're Not” chronicles the first wave of Detroit hardcore from its origins in the late 70s to its demise in the mid-80s. Through oral histories and extensive imagery, the book proves that even though the California beach towns might have created the look and style of hardcore punk, it was the Detroit scene – along with a handful of other cities – that cultivated the music's grassroots aesthetic before most cultural hot spots around the globe even knew what the music was about.
The book includes interviews with members of The Fix, Violent Apathy, Negative Approach, Necros, Pagans, Bored Youth, and L-Seven along with other people who had a hand in the early hardcore scene like Ian MacKaye, Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson. >>

Abstract: << André Rottgeri entwirft, am Beispiel der Biographie eines populären E-Gitarristen, eine Typologie der Artikulationen: „Populäre Musik & Artikulationen: Entwurf einer Typologie am Beispiel von Joe Satriani“. Diese sieht eine Unterscheidung nach Kreativem Output (Primäre Artikulationen in Form von Musik, Text, Bildmaterial) und kommentierenden Selbstzeugnissen der Künstler (Sekundäre Artikulationen, z.B. in Form von Interviews) vor. Sonstige Artikulationen werden hier unter den Begriffen Pädagogische, Wirtschaftliche und Technische Artikulationen zusammengefasst. Anhand einer Interview-Analyse zu Joe Satriani aus der Reihe Living Legends Music wird diese Klassifikation exemplarisch erprobt. >>

[“André Rottgeri, using the biography of a popular electric guitarist as an example, develops a typology of articulations: “Popular Music & Articulations: Designing a Typology Using Joe Satriani as an Example.” This typology distinguishes between creative output (primary articulations in the form of music, lyrics, and visuals) and the artists' own commentary (secondary articulations, e.g., in the form of interviews). Other articulations are grouped under the terms pedagogical, economic, and technical. This classification is then tested using an interview analysis of Joe Satriani from the Living Legends Music series.”]

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. >>
