Issues 3-5. "An important fanzine that was instrumental in facilitating the crossover of punk attitudes & sensibilities into broader areas of cultural investigation. The editor states; 'I started working on Search & Destroy in January '77. Our approach was really minimalist, we felt that that was the new philosophy. It wasn't just going to be a documentation, it was going to be a catalyst. We felt that the music was the fun part but that it was an entire lifestyle, you don't spend your life playing music on a stage, so we gave book lists, we tried to encourage people to read, we listed films...I soon realized that punk was total cultural revolt. It was a hardcore confrontation with the black side of history and culture, right-wing imagery, sexual taboos, a delving into that had never been done before by any generation in such a thorough way. The punks were the first to examine the Vietnam War after the 1960s, reading Soldier of Fortune magazine: there was a lot of Burroughs in Punk.'"--Descriptions from Cult Jones, bookseller. Subjects are punk rock, and culture.
