BACK
TO PUNK FLYERS
SEARCH
& DESTROY MAGAZINE was the premiere punk rock journal
from San Francisco in 1977, and this flyer by
an anonymous punk artist announced
a benefit for the magazine featuring UXA (United
Experiments of America), and the DILS. The flyer shows a
Nazi with a sniping rifle looking for members of punk bands
to assassinate. The DILS represented the most radical political
vision in the US punk scene, penning songs like CLASS
WAR, I
HATE THE RICH, MR.
BIG, and RED
ROCKERS RULE.
Bands
from Los Angeles would play in San Francisco, and visa versa,
with the two cities eventually becoming citadels of punk
on the West Coast. The
DILS went on to open for the first Los Angeles appearance
of the CLASH
in 1979. UXA moved to LA were they still perform today.
