'Ours is music with built-in hatred.' Pete Townshend A Band with
Built-In Hate pictures The Who through the prism of pop art and the
levelling of high and low culture it brought about. Peter Stanfield
guides us through the British pop revolution as it was embodied by
the band: first, under the mentorship of arch-mod Peter Meaden; and
then with Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp, two aspiring filmmakers, at
the very centre of things in Soho. Guided by contemporary
commentators - most conspicuously, Nik Cohn - Stanfield tells of a
band driven by fury, and of what happened when they moved from
explosive 45s to expansive concept albums. Above all, he describes
how The Who confronted their lost youth as it was echoed in punk."
