This week’s #soundandvision is Black Flag’s EP “Nervous Breakdown,” with artwork from Raymond Pettibon.
Black Flag released their first EP Nervous Breakdown in 1979. The EP was the first real recordings of Black Flag’s music, and although they only pressed 2,000 copies, the band had something physical that they could send to promoters and venues. It was short, raucous, and angry, which was exactly how they wanted it.
The cover art was made by Raymond Pettibon (Born Raymond Ginn,) the younger brother of Black Flag’s founder, lead guitarist, and primary songwriter Greg Ginn. Pettibon defined the bands aesthetic, making flyers and album art for the band in their formative years and throughout their career. His violent, satirical, and heavily critical paintings and drawings captured the essence of Black Flag’s music, both drawing from it and pushing beyond it by depicting humorous yet dark situations, often lampooning police and other authoritarian figures. The cover of Nervous Breakdown is no exception, it features a man, back against the wall, while another man comes at him with a chair. Henry Rollins, who famously fronted the band from 1981-1986, cites the EP’s artwork as being one of the first things that drew him towards the band.

Pettibon graced the cover of our 100th issue, and once again in 2017 with a collaborative work with Marcel Dzama.He remains an enigma in the fine art world, a true original who has amassed a massive body of work that never tires or lacks acute poetic perspective.
