Ian Glasper, the bassist, author and punk historian, brings his series of books documenting UK punk to a close in fine style with this hefty 635 page tome.
Undertaking in-depth interviews with 111 essential bands from the last twenty years, discussing the challenges they’ve faced, the obstacles they’ve had to overcome, and how they think they still need to evolve to stay relevant in these troubled times – by the end of it, you will understand exactly why UK punk is the scene that will not die.
Packed with previoulsy unseen photos, flyers and insight, this book is must for anyone interested in the UK punk scene or alternative music culture. Available from Earth Island Books, it now comes with a double CD album on Engineer Records, featuring tracks by 59 of the bands written about in the book.
