The B-side of the official history of rock and roll!

The unusual connections between singers and pop artists with fans, vandals, self-proclaimed messiahs, criminals, strange subcultures, punk cults starring Germs or Bad Brains, Willie Colón and gangsta, Louis Armstrong playing at the foot of a pyramid, Miles Davis worshiping a Luciferian sect, gangs on wheels, metalheads signing manifestos, trans soul stars, underground record networks, Franco Battiato and "fantascienza," worlds of black leather and sadomasochism, b-boys and breakers behind the Iron Curtain, dangerous "thunder tribes" and Japanese bikers, pitched battles between fans, chains, bottle fights, and knife fights with the soundtrack of Elvis, The Who, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, or Raphael.

This first volume of Brutalismos, a great anthology of the best essays published in Agente Provocador and edited by David Bizarro and Servando Rocha, co-directors of the Brutalistas podcast, builds unexpected bridges between pop and phenomena such as terrorism, street culture, or esotericism.
