'To see The Clash on the White Riot tour was like discovering how
to be a rock star: you just did it yourself. You didn't wait for
someone to come and discover you. That was the most important thing
that came out of punk... We came home and we cut our hair and
bought skinny trousers. It was year zero. That was the moment for
me' Billy Bragg Punk Rock is a book like no other. It is an oral
history of a radical movement which exploded in Seventies Britain.
With its own clothes, hair, artwork, fanzines and radical politics,
Punk boasted a DIY ethos that meant anyone could take part. The
scene was uniquely vibrant and energetic, leaving an extraordinary
legacy of notorious events, charismatic characters and
inspirational music. John Robb has spent over a year interviewing
more than 100 contributors including Glen Matlock, Mick Jones, Don
Letts, Slash, Billy Bragg, Hugh Cornwell and Captain Sensible. Now,
for the first time, they give the inside view on events such as The
Sex Pistols' swearing live on the Bill Grundy TV show and staging
their anti-Jubilee riverboat party on the Thames, famous gigs at
The Roxy and 100 Club, and the groundbreaking records by The
Pistols, The Clash, The Damned and others. From the widely debated
roots of punk in the late-Sixties through to the fallout of the
post-punk period in 1984, and the ongoing influence on today's
bands, Punk Rock is the definitive oral history of an inimitable
and exciting movement.
