The seeds are sown. An accurate, obscure intense hardcore alternative outlook and sound document pf a change to come. Packed with a copious amount of pictures, with lyrics, flyers, posters, interviews, early reporting of the anti-music that has become part of our current culture. Covering Johnny Rotten, the Sex Pistols, Joe Strummer, the Clash,100 Club, the Damned, the Stranglers, the Slits, and many more groups.. The musicians and the fans speak for themselves. This is the punk rock, new wave movement from the inside at a time when it was brash, wild, unencumbered, splitting the entrenched rock scene in half. Written by Caroline Coon, the co-founder of Release and rock critic for the UK Melody Maker weekly music magazine.
