Description

Famous for its revolutionary aspects in musical; political; sexual identity and consumerist ideas; punk rock also has its lesser-known gangster ethos as well; explained here by players in the various punk gangs.The Los Angeles; Orange County; and South Bay punk scenes; populated by blue collar kids who responded to the violence and aggression of punk songs and shows. A number of them formed punk gangs that got into beatings; drug dealing and murder. Among them; no gang was more notorious than La Mirada Punks; or LMP.Says LMP chieftain Frank the Shank after getting arrested by police for murder: "After having my hands in so much bloodshed over the years; I most certainly had it coming. I deserved whatever I got."Unexpectedly Frank was bailed out from prison by his fathers friend; a mob gangster."Too many people died at the hands of punk rock violence;" said Frank. "I got lucky; some didnt. As an ultra-violent punk rock gangster; I admit my part in ruining the scene. L.A. punk was a magical moment of youth expression like no other. And the gangs ruined punk rock. I still have people telling me today that they quit punk because of LMP. I dig graves at a small cemetery just outside Los Angeles. What else would you expect for Frank the Shank?" Cover illustration by the renowned Raymond Pettibon.
