Description

Famous for its revolutionary aspects in musical, political, sexual identity and consumerist ideas, punk rock also has its lesser-known gangster ethos. The untold story of punk's violent LA gangs is recounted here by key players.

The SoCal punk scenes were populated by blue-collar kids who responded to the aggression of punk music. 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. Their story is told here, as recounted by notorious gang leader Frank the Shank.
