"Rather than dwell on well-documented suspects and trendsetters from LA, NY, and DC, Hurchalla delves deep into the underground's underbelly to root out stories from Chicago, Philadelphia, Austin, Lawrence, Annapolis, Cincinnati, Florida, and elsewhere. Like most of the [well-received] books on punk that have emerged to date, Hurchalla mixes his personal experiences with the words of dozens of band members, promoters, artists, zinesters, and scenesters. This revised second edition includes new photos, zine scans, and flyer collections from around the United States"--Amazon.com.

George Hurchalla spent most of the 1990s as an itinerant wanderer and snow/music/wilderness writer and photographer, editing The Hell with Politics: The Life and Writings of Jane Wood Reno in 1994. After years of poverty pursuing his dreams and contributing sporadically to Heckler magazine, he broke down and took a paying gig to write Exploring Florida Beaches: The Atlantic Coast and Exploring Florida Beaches: The Gulf Coast for Falcon guidebooks in 2002. In February of 2004 he launched the first imprint of his own press, Spot X Guides, and published the results of a decade-long involvement with the Tahoe wilderness, Backcountry Snowboarding and Skiing in the Northern Sierra. Currently residing in Huatulco, Mexico, Hurchalla continues to write when he is not out exploring senseless beauty.
