IN DILLINGER FOUR WE TRUST
By dan ozzi
What a way to start this!
Dan Ozzi. He’s an excellent writer and journalist. His book Sellout (check it out HERE) is a page-turning history lesson on punk, emo, and hardcore and how it bubbled up to the mainstream. Sometimes successfully, sometimes not, but always testing the ethos of a band, the “scene”, and the fans. If you frequented punk shows in the late 90’s / early 2000’s, it’s required reading! You’ve probably read it already. Right? Thought so.
I discovered Dan’s work back in 2015, when he wrote an amazing profile of one of my favorite punk bands, Dillinger Four. When the idea of narrating my favorite internet articles was percolating in my skull, this was the first piece I thought of. I just hope I gave Dan’s writing and D4’s legendary history the reverence and hilarity they deserve!
