Punk, New Wave & Indie

The Day the Country Died features author, historian, and musician Ian Glasper (Burning Britain) exploring in minute detail the influential, esoteric, UK anarcho punk scene of the early Eighties. It was a time when punk stopped being merely a radical fashion statement, and became a force for real social change; a genuine revolutionary movement, driven by some of the most challenging noises ever committed to tape. Anarchy, as regards punk rock, no longer meant cash from chaos.' It meant 'freedom, peace, and unity.""

Reviews for Burning Britain: The History of UK Punk 1980-1984

For those with a burning desire to dig deeper than The Clash and Sex Pistols to discover below-the-radar groups from the original British punk rock scene, then Burning Britain is your new Bible. --John B. Moore, New Noise Magazine [A] chatty, engaging history [that] follows the regional lines along which UK punk's 'second wave' scene divided. --Guardian
