Do You Believe in the Power of Rock & Roll? is a history of
alternative rock from John Robb, with the music still ringing in
his ears. This collection follows John's journey from the late
1970s, when he was first caught up in punk's high-octane thrill, to
the present day, via the early days of the rave scene, the birth of
electronic and techno, and myriad bands that spun off on their own
idiosyncratic paths. John was the first person to write about
Nirvana, he coined the term Britpop, and he documented the Stone
Roses' rise out of Manchester before anyone else was interested. He
was at every pivotal gig, and has interviewed every key player in
the business, including Jordan, the queen of punk, founding father
of new American rock Steve Albini, goth-rock guitarist Daniel Ash,
infamous Oasis co-founder Noel Gallagher, and music greats like
Lemmy and Poly Styrene. Few others have witnessed first-hand so
many important moments of the last forty years of rock history.
Here, they come together to form the essential history of a
personal quest to document the ever-changing soundtrack of the
modern world.
