Updated edition of American Hardcore: A Tribal History to be released Nov. 1

First released in 2001 and later made into an acclaimed documentary, Steven Blush‘s definitive text of the early 1980s hardcore-punk scene, American Hardcore: A Tribal History, is set to be released in an all-new, updated second edition.

On November 1, publisher Feral House will release the tome, which now features 25 new subjects, 100+ new works of art, a new conclusion, and expanded biographies and discographies — an overall addition totaling 80 pages.

Blush will be going on a tour of libraries, universities, and independent bookstores this fall, in anticipation of the book’s release. Special guests will be announced, and so far, stops include:

10/07 –  Portsmouth, NH @ Portsmouth Public Library
10/08 – Worcester, MA @ Worcester Public Library
10/09 – Portland, ME @ Portland Public Library
