Description

With its own fashion, culture, and chaotic energy, punk rock boasted a do-it-yourself ethos that allowed anyone to take part. Vibrant and volatile, the punk scene left an extraordinary legacy of music and cultural change. John Robb talks to many of those who cultivated the movement, such as John Lydon, Lemmy, Siouxsie Sioux, Mick Jones, Chrissie Hynde, Malcolm McLaren, Henry Rollins, and Glen Matlock, weaving together their accounts to create a raw and unprecedented oral history of UK punk. All the main players are here: from The Clash to Crass, from The Sex Pistols to the Stranglers, from the UK Subs to Buzzcocks—over 150 interviews capture the excitement of the most thrilling wave of rock ’n’ roll pop culture ever. Ranging from its widely debated roots in the late 1960s to its enduring influence on the bands, fashion, and culture of today, this history brings to life the energy and the anarchy as no other book has done.

Punk was like we didn’t have a map and we didn’t have an address. It was like someone nicking a car and saying, ‘Who’s coming?’ Jimmy Pursey, Sham 69
About the author
Escaping Blackpool suburbia care of punk rock, John Robb formed the Membranes in the punk wars. Fired by the DIY ethic of punk, he also edited his own fanzine, The Rox. He toured the world with the Membranes and put out several critically acclaimed albums. In the late Eighties he wrote for Sounds, the sadly defunct music paper, and was first to write about Nirvana and the upcoming Manchester scene, as well as inventing the word Britpop (sorry!). In the Nineties he put together Goldblade, who have toured the world several times with their incendiary live show and released yet more critically acclaimed albums. He has also appeared countless times on TV and films and has written bestselling books on the Stone Roses and Nineties’ pop culture.
About the editor
Oliver Craske is a writer and editor specialising in music, photography and other illustrated books. He is the author of Rock Faces, a survey of rock music photography.

EDITORIAL NOTE
Selected footnotes have been added throughout, where it was felt they would add to the overall picture without interrupting the flow of the text. This has necessarily been an arbitrary process - it would be impractical to footnote everything - but we considered that the book might be impenetrable without them.
All views expressed are those of the respective speaker. The author and editor have checked facts as much as possible, but all memories are subjective and fallible and time plays strange tricks, so it is to be expected that some readers may disagree with the accounts of certain incidents. As you’ll see, some contributors disagree about them too.
THE CONTRIBUTORS
A brief description appears for each contributor the first time he or she appears in the book. Where the contributor appears again later in the book, it may help you to refer to the following list, which, for ease of use, provides the same information in alphabetical form. Most contributors have had long and complex careers and these descriptions do not purport to be comprehensive profiles, but rather attempt to present the most relevant information, such as the bands and instruments with which a musician is most closely associated or those most directly relevant to the period covered in this book.
