Produktbeschreibung

Are you a profound follower of punk music? 2018 was a prolific year for new albums across the punk rock spectrum, and we have selected the top 43to help you find both the innovative and original artists making great music today. From the author of the Amazon best-selling book 'Anarcho Punk Albums: The Band's Story Behind Anarchist Punk Music' and the founder of award-winning website Punk Online, Gary Miller has collated almost fifty entries of brilliant LPs to make your ears water. And at painstaking lengths, he has tracked down every band featured, and they have all contributed their own unique stories behind the making of the albums. From the continued rage against modern society to heartfelt personal circumstances surrounding the writing of the music and the lyrics. This book is a warts and all journey behind the scenes that we would never otherwise hear. Exploring the globe, from the UK to the US and from darkest Scandinavia, across Europe to Australia. Featuring punk stalwarts such as Rubella Ballet, The Men They Couldn't Hang, Mekons 77 and Wonk Unit to relative newcomers The Lovely Eggs, Disturbance, Interrobang and System of Hate. Why a Top 43? Well, put simply, it's because that's how many we liked. A Top 40 or 50 would have rounded things off nicely, but we have selected, in our opinion, the best. Anyhow, it's a bit more Punk Rock doing it this way! A truly fascinating read for any devotee of the alternative music scene.

Autorenporträt

Based in the UK, I have been a keen follower, and participant of the punk music scene since 1980. After attending hundred's of gigs, as well as playing bass guitar in a local punk band, I set up the website punkonline.co.uk during 2015. I was soon to realise that punk music is just as relevant today as it was 40 years ago and my passion for the genre has reached new heights. Through extensive blogging, I soon realised that I wanted to share as much information on the subject as possible and decided to research 'Anarcho Punk Albums: The Band's Story Behind Anarchist Punk Music'. The band members were so receptive and helped formulate the book in anyway they could. This proved to me that the 'punk spirit' is still very strong and there are no 'pop stars' in this musical world. My ambition now is to write more books and share with the world the many excellent groups either just starting out or still going strong after four decades of writing and performing their music.
