In the summer of 1987, a hardcore kid from Queens, New York, set out on a summer adventure that would forever change the course of his life. Anthony Civorelli (better known as Civ) accompanied by six friends, headed west to play music and try to change the world.
This book is based on his daily journal writings while working as a roadie on the tour. It serves as a time capsule and a look into life on the road as a teenager in the punk and hardcore scenes in the 1980s.
In this book, CIV talks about being for the first time on a tour across the United States together with his friends and Hardcore luminaries Youth Of Today during their 1987 Break Down The Walls tour in support of their LP of the same title.
The book is full of pictures, flyers and much more, along with CIV’s unique storytelling and memories based on a diary he kept during the tour.
