cross between

WHEN ME AND THE BOYS

HIT THE STREETS

Black Flag : Damaged/ My War





Black Flag

 is an American

 Punk Rock Band 

formed in 1976

 in Hermosa 

Beach, California. 

Initially called

 Panic

the band was

 established by 

Greg Ginn, 

the guitarist, 

primary songwriter, 

and 

sole continuous member,

 and singer 

Keith Morris. 

They are widely considered

 to be one 

of the first

 hardcore punk bands,

 as well as one of 

the pioneers of 

post-hardcore. 

After breaking up 

in 1986, 

Black Flag 

reunited in 2003 

and again in 2013. 

The second reunion 

lasted well over a year, 

during which they 

released their

 first studio album

 in nearly three decades, 

What The...

 (2013). 

The band announced

 their third reunion

 in January 2019.

Black Flag's 

sound mixed

 the raw

 simplicity of

 the Ramones 

with a style of 

atonal guitar 

soloing compared 

to that of 

the New York Dolls’

 lead guitarist 

Johnny Thunders, 

and, 

in later years, 

frequent tempo shifts. 

The lyrics were written

 mostly 

by Ginn,

 and like 

other punk bands

 of the late 1970s 

and early 1980s, 

Black Flag 

voiced an 

anti-authoritarian 

and 

nonconformist message,

 in songs 

punctuated with 

descriptions of

 social isolation,

 neurosis, 

poverty, 

and paranoia. 

These themes were 

explored further 

when

 Henry Rollins 

joined the band 

as lead singer 

in 1981. 

Most of the

 band's material

 was released on

 Ginn's independent 

record label 

SST Records.

Over the course 

of the 1980s,

 Black Flag's sound, 

as well as their 

notoriety, 

evolved. 

In addition to 

being central

 to the creation of

 hardcore punk,

 they were innovators

 in the first wave of

 American West Coast 

punk rock 

and are considered 

a key influence on

 punk subculture

 in the 

United States 

and abroad
