They built THE NEW ARK
The oral history of the Brick City Years.
(1988)

In 1988 Barrington published hundreds of interviews with forgotten Newark bands as well as the ones that made names for themselves - including Laura Carter, Lynn Little, Violent Men and Jasper Johns.

"Matthew Barrington write the early (electro)punk history through the people who really lived it. The New Ark is a thrashy journey down memory lane and an enlightening history lesson for everyone interested in the origins of modern alternative music." / New Sound #8, 1988.
