Extras: I’m not sure what the back page is an advert for, a show for bands, but the there’s also some sort of meeting. American Anarchy is a pretty good one, a little light on the photos, and there is some filler content to be sure (flyers for shown two page advert for skate shop) but you can tell they took it seriously, and put in some effort.

    Amazing to stumble in this. I was at that demo in VP and a huge crush on TDK all through high school. Thanks for posting.

    This is squirrel… Oh my God I just googled American anarchy to see if it was out there and I can’t believe you’ve got a copy of our scene… It’s so good to relive the 80s for a moment on my way to go shred the mountain… Snowboarder now skateboarder forever! Long live American anarchy!
