The fourth installment in Ian Glasper's legendary journey into
the heart of UK punk and hardcore explores the punk underground's
transformation as the gritty 1980s gave way tothe 1990s
Glasper leaves no stone unturned when exploring the inspirations
and motivations that drove the acts of this overlooked era of punk.
From Therapy?, Understand, and Lostprophets, who all went on to
major label success after starting in underground bands, through to
groups who released just one demo or a lone 7" single, this history
examines almost 100 bands, allowing them to tell their own stories
in their own words, and is brimming with previously unseen
photographs and long-lost memorabilia. The many subgenres of the
scene are examined, from pop-punk (Goober Patrol, Panic) and
ska-punk (Citizen Fish, Spithead), through raging hardcore
(Voorhees, Assert), militant SXE (Withdrawn, Ironside) and old
school punk rock (Sick On The Bus, Police Bastard), on to the birth
of metalcore (Stampin' Ground, Above All) and emocore (Fabric, Bob
Tilton). The leading lights and many more are explored, along with
the politics, underground fanzines, and DIY labels which were
synonymous with the scene. A must for anyone who enjoyed the first
three books, all of which have become must reads for anybody with
an interest in punk, this "fourth book in the trilogy" pulls
together many of the threads of those volumes and brings Glasper's
celebration of the UK's underground punk heritage to a satisfying,
informative conclusion.
In this revealing history, author, historian, and musician Ian
Glasper explores in minute detail the influential and esoteric UK
anarcho-punk scene of the early 1980s. Where some of the colorful
punk bands from the first half of the decade were loud, political,
and uncompromising, their anarcho-punk counterparts were even more
so, totally prepared to risk their liberty to communicate the
ideals they believed in so passionately. With Crass and Poison
Girls opening the floodgates, the arrival of bands such as Amebix,
Chumbawamba, Flux of Pink Indians, and Zounds heralded a new age of
honesty and integrity in underground music. New, exclusive
interviews and hundreds of previously unreleased photographs
document the impact of all of the scene's biggest names--and a fair
few of the smaller ones--highlighting how anarcho-punk took the
rebellion inherent in punk from the very beginning to a whole new
level of personal awareness.

Too often have we gazed over lines of romantic poetry, and too
seldom have we come across anything introspective. But we keep
reading the monotonous black and white, even though anyone who has
ever loved knows that it contains many shades of grey. The
happiness, as well as the sadness, that is found in love is well
documented. But what about those moments that love leaves you
straddling the fence, leaving you with that awkward blend of every
positive and negative emotion known to man? In this book I will
attempt to give a voice to the in-between, for even the brightest
light casts shadows somewhere. I find that often times, the best
way to get a point across is through the art of story-telling.
Therefore, I need you to pay careful attention to each piece in
this book, for they are all connected to each other. This is not
about individual poems, but rather a series of poems that will take
you on the roller coaster that is love. So, I ask you to open your
minds, and open your hearts as you read these works. And if your
heart is touched, then I ask of you, touch another.
