Search & Destroy was a San Francisco punk zine, published by V. Vale from 1977-1979. The Warhol-Interview format zine was originally funded by personal donations from Ginsberg and Ferlinghetti.
Vale is quoted on Search & Destroy in Jon Savage's England's Dreaming saying 'Our approach was really minimalist, we felt that that was the new philosophy. It wasn't just going to be a documentation, it was going to be a catalyst. (...). I soon realized that Punk was total cultural revolt. It was a hardcore confrontation with the black side of history and culture, right-wing imagery, sexual taboos, a delving into it that had never been done before by any generation in such a thorough way.'
