Enter the embryo of the Florida hardcore music scene, a time and place where Andrew Jackson led the springtime parades. The years: 1981-1984; the band: Hated Youth who found inspiration watching Road Warrior serially at the local movie house, terrorizing college girls and little kids, doing drugs and spinning the latest vinyl on the north side of Tallahassee, bands like Dead Kennedys, Angry Samoans, Suicidal Tendencies and Negative Approach. What did it take for these unsettled mohawked teens of the Reagan years to make it through the gauntlet of aggressing jocks, plantation-era values and mandates to conform to the post-Ted-Bundyan redneck Deep South football culture?

In Kill the Punks you'll find out. In Kill the Punks you'll get up close and personal with cool punk rock girlfriends, jealous ex-boyfriends and the punk rock characters of the subversive underground. Come on out to Smitty's Juke Joint where Hated Youth hosted shows for other Florida bands such as the legendary Roach Motel, Terminal Fun and Stevie Stiletto and the Switchblades. Follow Hated Youth to out-of-town gigs where they played with bands like D.R.I., Minor Threat, Necros, the Bully Boys and Jody Foster's Army. In the process you'll get your knuckles scraped up with a few minor violences, as well as get to know the iconic hardcore personage widely known as Hated Eric. For lovers of music history, this literary expos� is a must, a candid punk rock bildungsroman with photos.
