Patrick O’Neil

In his latest book, Anarchy At the Circle K, Patrick O ‘Neil writes about 80s hardcore in a narrative that’s a combination of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road and Michael Azerrad’s Our Band Could Be Your Life.

Author Patrick O’Neil worked at Alternative Tentacles at the time of the Dead Kennedys’ Frankenchrist raid. The following is an excerpt from his upcoming memoir, Anarchy At The Circle K, about his years as a punk roadie in the early to mid-’80s.
