Book Reviews of Burning Fight: The Nineties Hardcore Revolution in Ethics, Politics, Spirit, and Sound

Book Review: A New Fan
Summary: 5 Stars

I was given this book by a friend; and as a relative novice to the hardcore scene, I was initially skeptical. However, the author introduces five major themes of the movement in plain terms within the first five chapters--Politics and Social Awareness, Straight Edge, Animal Rights, Spirituality, and Sound--easing in the casual reader and laying the groundwork for the heart of the book, which consists of overviews and interviews with each of the major acts from '90s hardcore.

What I most enjoyed most was reading how each individual act incorporated some or all of the aforementioned themes of the hardcore movement into their own music and stage performances, presented in thorough, unbiased fashion by the author.

Again, having little exposure to the movement, I was initially hesitant to delve into such a thick book covering a relatively narrow subgenre of music, at least from my perspective. But I was more than drawn in by the first few chapters and looked forward to learning more and more of the movement as I read further along. Definitely recommeneded for anyone who'd like to learn more about the '90s hardcore revolution.
