We all live life, but when do we know we are not only living life but making history, or being a part of a historical movement? I did not know in the early 80’s in SoCal that me & all of my hardcore punk friends were a part of punk rock history, but we were! Going to see Black Flag, Social Distortion, Sin 34, Dr.Know, T.S.O.L , Husker Du at our neighborhood joints; these were the bands that we went see on our weekend rage. How did we know who was playing at the next gig & where the next rad gig was? FLYERS. I guess you could say they were our version of texting. What made a sick flyer was the art – many of them were drawn by artist who would go on to have epic art careers like Pushead, Marc Rude, Ric Clayton & Shawn Kerri. These pieces of paper documented a time & place that was historic to many humans all around the world. So after the jump check out gnarly vintage SoCal hardcore flyers!
