DiWulf Publishing DD001 Howard Wuelfing Descenes And Discords: An Anthology
Howard Wuelfing - Descenes And Discords: An Anthology BOOK Limited Stock: 11 Available
These publications were originally printed and distributed in Washington, D.C. during the late 1970s and early 1980s by writer and musician Howard Wuelfing. Descenes began as a hyperlocal chronicle of D.C.'s burgeoning punk and post-punk community, featuring scene reports, interviews, and reviews of acts like Bad Brains, Slickee Boys, and Half Japanese. As the punk movement grew beyond the Beltway, Discords picked up the baton with a wider lens — covering bands like Black Flag, Circle Jerks, and many more.
Descenes and Discords: An Anthology presents full facsimiles of every issue of both zines, preserving the original cut-and-paste layouts. The anthology is enriched with new commentary by Wuelfing, reflecting on the zines’ creation and impact. It also includes a transcribed conversation between Wuelfing and Ian MacKaye discussing the fanzine era’s role in shaping punk’s identity and legacy.
Foreword by Mark Jenkins.
This anthology also contains a poster of the DC Band Family Tree, featured in issue #1.
Edition of 800, numbered and signed by the author.
