Poems about Love and Punk Rock

By: McNally, Joe

'Poems About Love and Punk Rock', by Joe McNally, blends poetry, memoir, and punk storytelling rooted in Southern California.

As a member of Voodoo Glow Skulls, he toured widely and shared stages with Offspring, No Doubt, Blink 182, Rancid, NOFX, and Sublime, and he also toured with Green Day as a trumpet player. He appeared in Rolling Stone twice, including once right after a street brawl with bandages still on his head.

The book is not about name-dropping. It's about the life behind the gigs; addiction, chaos, and the long recovery that led to sixteen years of sobriety.

Today Joe is a teacher, jazz musician, singer and writer, living that second act with clarity.
