About this listen

The long awaited republishing of NYHC Legend, John Bloodclot Joseph's raw and unfiltered autobiography. As real as it gets!

Updated with new chapters.

In his newly updated autobiography, NYHC legend John Bloodclot Joseph recounts his hard times and spiritual redemption. A traumatic childhood in foster homes was just the beginning of John's evolution. Before fronting one of the most important bands in the underground punk scene, the Cro-Mags, John faced homelessness, addiction, betrayal and insanity. Still, even his success couldn't save him from a relapse that set him back to square one - rock bottom. The book is a raw and unapologetic autobiography about his life. Consider yourself warned.

John takes you on his journey. I felt I was right there with him, from the 'effed up foster homes, the NY LES in the 70's and 80's, NY Hardcore Punk scene, high-speed police chases, betrayal, falling in and out of love, forgiveness and the PMA. Evocative, I laughed, cried, got angry and forgave as along with JJ. My own demons surfaced and old unhealed wounds were triggered as I reflected and gained insights to take forward steps using John's, Never Give Up attitude as inspiration.
Thank you, John.

I’ve read both Harley and John’s books and they both have one thing in common: massive egos. I can see why they both clashed, they’re so alike. That said, this was a great insight into 80s hardcore and well read by John.

I’ve read two sides of the story..
