Rock bands have been an important part of Liverpool's culture and
identity since the 1950s, and a 1980 survey discovered the
existence of over 1,000 bands in the city. This book delineates and
discusses rock culture in Liverpool as a way or style of life,
highlighting its associated conventions, rituals, norms, and
beliefs at a particular point in time, within the city's own unique
social, economic, cultural, and political environment. It deals
with the hitherto little explored music-making by local, amateur
rock bands, that are precariously poised between success and
failure, caught between the urge for original creativity and the
pressures of the record industry. Their struggle is discussed in
detail within the context of their social and cultural lifestyle
and the commercial environment within which they operate. Broad
artistic and social issues are examined in great detail, through
the biographies of a few specific bands, notably The Jactars and
Crikey it's the Cromptons!
