Respected journalists Jackson and Kohn dig deep into the Orange County punk rock and ska-punk scene, barely leaving a stone unturned. The likes of No Doubt, The Vandals, The Offspring, TSOL, and Social Distortion star, with SD’s Mike Ness providing a foreword. Chaos reigns and the 400-page exhaustive tome offers anecdotes a-plenty. The book “explores the trajectory of punk and ska from their humble beginnings to their peak popularity years, where their cultural impact could be felt in music around the world.” The OC might be known for being politically conservative, but the punk didn’t let anyone down.
