Here lies the early punk spirit of Black Flag, the Minutemen, Social Distortion, Suicidal Tendencies, the Descendents, Redd Kross, White Flag, the Gun Club, D.R.I., the Butthole Surfers, and many others at the height of their punk powers. An intimate photographic document of a uniquely fertile creative moment.
Touch and Go fanzine was the brainchild of Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson and was launched in Lansing, Michigan in 1979. Major fanatics of the new punk happenings in the late ’70s, TV and DS set out to chronicle, lambaste, ridicule, and heap praise on all they arbitrarily loved or hated in the music communities in the US and abroad.
