Ultimately, he focused his editorial talents on Seconds : a magazine of his own featuring 51 issues from 1986 to 2000 which prepared him to write three books on rock: American Hardcore about the early -80’s hardcore punk scene, which has since been adapted into a documentary film written and directed by Blush American Hair Metal - no explanation necessary and finally New York Rock.īlush’s newest project is a comprehensive guide of 21st century New York’s burgeoning cultures brought together by rock! His presentation began with the secret of New York’s successful scene (attitude, of course!) and a brief description of the book’s two poles. His journalistic contributions span from most magazines alternative music fans can think of: Kerrang!, Rap Express, Spin and Paper. For those unfamiliar with Blush, he is an automatic authority on rock history, of New York and otherwise. Steven Blush, best known for his book American Hardcore: A Tribal History, spoke at Green Apple Books in San Francisco to discuss his newest book New York Rock: From the Rise of The Velvet Underground to the Fall of CBGB. Incredibly, San Francisco has given me tremendous opportunities to connect with the music scene we are so devoted to, and on Saturday I was introduced to a punk legend as well as a prolific rock chronicler.
