“Come to our show!” they pleaded as they handed out flyers, posted them on telephone poles, wheat-pasted them on walls. Here are the flyers from the world’s most pioneering punk bands including Minor Threat, Fugazi, Youth of Today, Gorilla Biscuits, Youth Brigade, Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains, A.R.Z. (Peru), Fun People (Argentina), Leek and the Bouncing Souls (South Africa), Scream, Bikini Kill, Los Crudos, The Nation of Ulysses and many more.
The author, Willona Sloan, describes the book as “the culmination of a project that has been on my mind for more than a decade. I published the personal/punk/feminist fanzine Scorpion from about 1998-2001. Doing the ’zine was an incredible experience for me and was really the start of my career in writing and publishing. Scorpion was my humble contribution to a global conversation about punk rock and social justice. I proclaimed my desire to produce a book of flyers that represented the diversity of the scene that I had grown up in–the scene where I had developed my understanding of my political power, and the value of building communities of compassion.”
“This is my personal collection of flyers, which was built by punks who collected flyers from their local shows and from their friends around the world. They sent me their favorites; I selected from my favorites of their favorites. These are my memories; my friends’ bands, their record labels, their towns, their countries. And so, finally I share them with you because they mean so much to me.”

Scream “Elevate”, from the album “Complete Control Sessions.”
The video was directed by Diona Mavis.
Scream was formed in Northern Virginia in 1981 by singer Peter Stahl, his brother Franz Stahl on guitar, bassist Skeeter Thompson and drummer Kent Stax. They are considered one of the benchmark bands in the history of the Washington, D.C. hardcore music movement. Along with bands such as Minor Threat and Government Issue, Scream ultimately merged the attributes of the movement, which were blinding speed, heavy political and social connotations in the lyrics, unpretentiousness of attitude, and shunning of commercialism. Their music is faithful to the roots of rock, but spun itself into other genres by employing sounds that predate the raunchiness of grunge, while saluting reggae and speed metal.
Scream hated the classification of bands into certain types and considered what they played as simply ‘music.’ Recording their music in the basement of the now legendary Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, Virginia, Scream became the first band on the Dischord label to release a whole album, “Still Screaming”.
For their second album Scream added another guitarist to their line-up, Robert Lee “Harley” Davidson, which eventually led to a powerful dual-lead guitar style, with complex guitar tracking, a more powerful live sound and an over-all crunchier sound for their third album. They also added a keyboard player, Bobby Madden, who was a colleague of Davidson’s from the same metal scene.
After the third album “Banging the Drum”, Kent Stax left the band for personal reasons and was replaced by local drummer Dave Grohl, who then played on Scream’s 4th album “No More Censorship”. The band then toured Europe and recorded their fifth and final studio album “Fumble”, before quitting in late 1990. Pete and Franz started rock band Wool, while Grohl joined grunge band Nirvana. In 1997, Franz Stahl joined Dave Grohl’s newly formed group, the commercially successful Foo Fighters, for a two year stint. During this time, Stahl worked as a road manager for both Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age, while continuing to record albums with several bands, including the Earthlings and Goatsnake.
The original line-up of the band played a reunion show on December 20, 2009 at the Black Cat nightclub in Washington, D.C.[2] and have been playing several shows in 2010. On February 7, 2011, the band supported Foo Fighters on a special show at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, when the Foo Fighters showcased their new album “Wasting Light” for the first time from beginning to end.
