KIDS OF THE BLACK HOLE: HOW LA HARDCORE CHANGED THE WORLD - A panel discussion in conjunction with the Steven Blush release of American Hardcore (Second Edition): A Tribal History. Featuring guests Steven Blush, Keith Morris(Circle Jerks, OFF!), Tony Cadena (Adolescents), Lisa Fancher(Frontier Records) and punk photographer Edward Colver (of the recent book Blight at the End of the Funnel). 

Among the important figures who emerged from hardcore are Henry Rollins, Dave Grohl (of Nirvana and Foo Fighters), Ian MacKaye (of Fugazi), and the Beastie Boys. Hardcore's legacy, however, continues to influence the do-it-yourself anti-commercial trend of independent record labels and touring networks. The author experienced hardcore firsthand as a promoter, record label owner, and radio DJ, and he intersperses the book's oral histories with his informed commentary. Steven Blush's "definitive treatment of Hardcore Punk" (Los Angeles Times) changed the way we look at Punk Rock. The Sony Picture Classics–distributed documentary American Hardcore premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. This revised and expanded second edition contains hundreds of new bands, thirty new interviews, flyers, a new chapter ("Destroy Babylon"), and a new art gallery with over 125 rare photos and images.
