Synopsis
From 1977 to 1979, Search & Destroy chronicled the birth of San Francisco's punk scene with an intensity and vision that transformed music journalism. Now, for the first time, every issue of this seminal publication has been collected and meticulously restored in one definitive volume.
Launched with a $100 loan from Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Search & Destroy was more than a zine—it was the nerve center of West Coast punk culture. Editor V. Vale and his rotating cast of contributors didn't just document the scene; they embodied its DIY spirit, creating a new form of guerrilla journalism that was as raw and uncompromising as the music itself.
Search & Destroy: The Complete Archive captures the texture and tension of a scene in flux through stark photography, radical design, and sharp interviews with legends such as William S. Burroughs, Throbbing Gristle, the Dead Kennedys, Suicide, and Negative Trend. This collected edition also features retrospective writing on the legacy of Search & Destroy, its influence on design and culture, and V. Vale's work as a publisher, researcher, and archivist.
