about

"One step easier than punk! The Black Wedge is out to spread the word of how to combine poetry, music and politics and have a fun time doing it. Hardcore poems and shredding guitars, radical voices crushing sexism, militarism, poverty and conformity. The Black Wedge wants to set wild hearts and imaginations free, to release a riot of emotion – opening up a new arena for activist resistance culture." – Black Wedge booklet, 1986

David Lester, "We kicked off our first tour by selling out two nights in a Vancouver nightclub called "The Venue". Political poetry? Nightclub? Sold-out? No one had heard of such a thing."

Jean Smith, "We borrowed D.O.A.’s school bus and drove the west coast playing clubs, a soup kitchen, an alternative school, radio stations, parties, and the anarchist bookstore in SF. Touring the west coast in 1986 opened our eyes to a whole different underground, a whole new punk rock. Everywhere we visited we met artists, writers, musicians and activists with a DIY aesthetic and their own methods for making things happen."
