Black Flag



Black Flag was a hardcore punk band formed in Hermosa Beach, California in 1976. They are considered to be one of the first hardcore punk bands, and have continued to be seen as one of the bands in the forefront of the American Hardcore movement alongside bands such as bad brains, and minor threat. Black Flag was often seen as one of the pioneers of the DIY concept in punk and hardcore music, with their records being released by founding member Greg Ginn's SST Records, and booking their own tours and shows through a nationwide network using word of mouth. From the early years and onward the band was also notorious for its rigorous rehearsal schedule, often reheasing several hours a week and booking rehearsal time in studios as early as 7 and 8am in many cases before a show that evening.
