Michael Azerrad Quote

Fired up by the punk explosion, they wrote their first song—Storming Tarragona. Named after the down-at-heel housing development where Boon lived, the song was about tearing down the projects and building real houses for people to live in. Boon and Watt, it turned out, had a powerful populist streak. D. Boon didn’t think our dads got a fair shake, Watt says, and I think he was kind of railing against that ever since.
