Banned in DC - The Book compiled by Cynthia Connolly, Leslie Clague and Sharon Cheslow with additional editing by Lydia Ely

"Banned in DC, Photos and Anecdotes from the DC Punk Underground 79-86" is a book published by Sun Dog Propaganda that documents the Washington, DC punk underground music scene from 1979 to 1986 through a collection of photographs, stories, flyers or posters shown in chronological order. The title of the book is also the name of a song by the Washington, DC punk band, "Bad Brains". Conceptualized in San Francisco at the time by Cynthia Connolly, who left Washington, DC to help work on a punk magazine in San Francisco, Maximum Rock 'n' Roll, she moved back to Washington DC to create the book. It was two years in the making and published finally late in 1988. Cynthia Connolly, who is in artist and photographer residing in the Washington, DC area, is the owner of Sun Dog Propaganda, and self published the book since 1988. The last edition, printed from the original "analogue" negatives was in 2010 and will publish a new edition from newly created digital negatives, holding the original content and aesthetic in place probably in late 2014.
