Greg Ginn – Let It Burn (Because I Don’t Live There Anymore) Let It Burn marked Greg Ginn’s third solo release in less than a year, following an extended period away from the spotlight to run his SST, Cruz, and New Alliance labels.

Black Flag Guitarist and Co-Founder Greg Ginn, vocalist Ron Reyes, drummer Gregory Moore, and touring bassist Dave Klein publicly slammed the Keith Morris led band Flag, by calling them a “‘fake’ Flag band currently covering the songs of BLACK FLAG in an embarrassingly weak ‘mailing it in’ fashion.” Ginn follows up the comments by writing two debut songs directed at the ex Black Flag band members known as Flag called “Down In The … Continue reading Owner Of The Iconic Punk Rock Band Black Flag And SST Inc.
