Regarding George Gimarc's PUNK & POSTPUNK DIARIES:
For anyone who has ever played in a group, ran a fanzine or been a fan of 'alternative' music and respects the ideals that punk originally was meant to represent, PUNK DIARY is an unbiased, balanced book full of the sort of (historical) information that anyone who was influenced by the Pistols and their ilk will be able to appreciate.
Remember a time when PUNK was an attitude rather than a particular musical sound? Now, when there are so many genres and sub-genres i.e. hardcore, speedcore, pop punk, gothic, street punk, Oi, ska punk, grunge, Indie etc. etc. Well, CURSE and SILENT PRAYER were bands that didn't want to be held in by bounderies about what and how they should act and sound. Punk was the motivation but influences came from a variety of sources.
 Live they could be good, sometimes they were bad, and on occasion they were bloody awful but at least they were always true to themselves. Punk was and always will be about a state of mind - not by how many studs you have in your jacket or how many colors you have in your hair. Nowadays, when 'fashion', 'product' and 'celebrity'mean everything and people don't look beyond their particular 'genre' of choice it's important to remember the good bands from the past. "Retro Hippies! Positive Punk! Going Full Circle Now A Load Of Gunk!!!!!! Never Judge A Book By Its cover." Have you noticed how one generation's rebels become the next generation's icons?
Oppose discrimination, prejudice, racism, sexism, ageism, religious persecution, jingoism, ethic cleansing, female circumcision/mutilation, child abuse/labor, animal testing and cruelty of any kind. If you feel strongly about something, i.e. Women's Issues, Gay and Lesbian Rights, the Environment etc. - GET INVOLVED! - The Truth Is The Only Law!
