Exhaustively researched and packed with unique insights, this
history journeys from the punk scene's roots in the mid-1960s to
the arrival of "new wave" in the early 1980s. With a cast that
includes Patti Smith, Pere Ubu, Television, Blondie, the Ramones,
the MC5, the Stooges, Talking Heads, and the Dead Boys, this
account is the definitive story of early American punk rock.
Extraordinarily balanced, it tells the story of the music's
development largely through the artists' own words, while
thoroughly analyzing and evaluating the music in a lucid and cogent
manner. First published in 1993, this was the first book to tell
the stories of these then-little-known bands; now, this edition has
been updated with a new discography, including imports and
bootlegs, and an afterword detailing the post-1970s history of
these bands. Filled with insights from interviews with artists such
as Lou Reed, Debbie Harry, David Byrne, Patti Smith, and Richard
Hell, this book has long been considered one of the essential reads
on rock rebellion.
