This is the story of the band The Gits. The focus is not on Mia Zapata's tragic murder but on the story behind how the band formed and all they achieved through their short career. The fact that we are still talking about them today shows the power, influence, depth and lasting power that still resonates with people in the present times.

What is not to love about driving across North American soil in a well-used van, drinking copious amounts of beer, blaring Hall and Oates and passing a well-used copy of Catcher In the Rye amongst sweating, stinking punk rock brethren? The answer is contained in Mike Magraan's "Miles Per Gallon" book. It is a delectable tale of Punk Rock pioneer camaraderie carving paths for future generations and establishing well-travelled routes whether playing to hundreds or a handful. It is a well-written lore that establishes Magraan as a top-seeded punk rock laureate. I had the opportunity to chat with Mike about his travels with his well-established and loved band Channel 3 and their merry prankster adventures (minus the hippies)!

When you have written one book what is there to do next? Well, write another one of course. 

Frank continues in "Not That Way Anymore" to further explore his musical adventures taking us on another ride through his rich history. Any fans of Blue Ash and Stiv Bators band will find this is an essential read. 

Often deemed the funniest band in hardcore, A.O.D. were a staple in the heart of hardcore: laughing their way out of New Jersey into nearby towns, cities and into many a filthy punks hearts. A.O.D. was full of piss and vinegar, ready with a quick quip up the side of the head and into an unsuspecting mohawked punk’s multi-pierced ear.

David has written a hilarious book from the perspective of being a drummer. While A.O.D. might not be a household name, their influence has impacted many current bands. I had the opportunity to talk to David about the book, the history of A.O.D., statues, and meat products.
