OC Punk Music Book Fun But Flawed

My review of Tearing Down the Orange Curtain: How Punk Rock Brought Orange County To The World by Nate Jackson and Daniel Kohn was posted over at PopMatters.com today. Fun book and educational. It’s challenged by some clunky execution but I did add several new albums to my collection as a result of reading the book and learning about the bands.

A good chunk of the book focuses on Social Distortion and Mike Ness, who is quite possibly the coolest man alive. So that’s worth the cover price alone.
