Amped: Notes from a Go-nowhere Punk Band

By Jon Resh and Annabeth Albert

Get In The Van by Rollins is the ultimate punk rock road book. This might, however, be the ultimate punk rock book, period. Jon Resh was a member of Spoke. You've probably never heard of them. He was a never a star. But he records in hilarious, wry, painful, and simple prose, the small victories, minor tragedies and humdrum existence of playing in a band. The pure joy of the bar E, the fumbling attempts with groupies, the hernias and cut fingers, life on the road, and all the mundanities of going deaf, and failing totally to make a living from it. Pure genius.
