About this ebook
Vibrant and volatile, the punk scene left an extraordinary legacy of music and cultural change, and this work talks to those who cultivated the movement, weaving together their accounts to create a raw and unprecedented oral history of punk in the United Kingdom. From the Clash, Crass, Henry Rollins, and John Lydon to the Sex Pistols, the Stranglers, and the Buzzcocks, this reference features more than 150 interviews that encapsulate the most thrilling wave of rock and roll pop culture ever seen. Ranging from its widely debated roots in the late 1960s to its enduring influence on modern bands, fashion, and culture, this history brings to life the energy and anarchy as no other book has done.
John Robb
John Robb grew up with punk rock in the late seventies forming his own critically acclaimed band, the Membranes, writing his own fanzine and releasing his own records in the DIY spirit of the movement. The Membranes powerful, abrasive, punk rock noise was very influential on the British and European underground and the band toured the world several times before stopping in the late eighties. Robb then went on to write for the music press, being the first person to interview Nirvana as well as coining key phrases like “Britpop.” He then started a new band, Goldblade, who tour the world to this day.
