This week’s video is a series of news reports on the punk scene in Boise Idaho circa 1985. Two weird anomalies out of this: I’m pretty surprised that Septic Death is not featured at all. Even stranger is how the reporter seems to be pretty accepting of punk and pretty tolerant/fair about presenting them in a good light. When I was in high school during the nineties I would have to talk down my parents after every news report about punk, hardcore, and especially Straight Edge that made everyone involved seem like a freak or criminal. This report from Boise is pretty refreshing.
