No Slam Dancing, No Stage Diving, No Spikes is an oral history of 80s-era alternative, metal and punk rock music told through the portal of one club: Trenton, New Jersey's legendary City Gardens. This book, written by Amy Yates Wuelfing and Steven DiLodovico, draws from interviews with the venue's staff, regulars, and the musicians who played there, including Henry Rollins, Ian MacKaye, Greg Dulli, and Tesco Vee.
