Despite the misguided mainstream press declarations that ''punk died with Sid Vicious'' or that ''punk was reborn with Nirvana'', author Hurchalla followed the DIY spirit of punk underground, where it not only survived, but thrived as a self-sustaining grassroots movement rooted in seedy clubs, xeroxed zines and indie record shops. Going Underground features over 100 unique from Marie Kanger-Born of Chicago, Dixon Coulbourn of Austin, Brian Trudell of LA, Malcolm Riviera of DC, Justina Davies of New York, Ed Arnaud of Arizona and many others.
