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(Goober Patrol, Panic) and ska-punk (Citizen Fish, Spithead), through raging hardcore (Voorhees, Assert), militant SXE (Withdrawn, Ironside) and old school punk rock (Sick On The Bus, Police Bastard), on to the birth of metalcore (Stampin' Ground, Above All) and emocore (Fabric, Bob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.

The product of years of research, travel, and countless conversations, "Burning Britain" is the true story of the UK punk scene from 1980 to 1984 told for the first time by the bands and labels that created it. Covering the country region by region, author Ian Glasper profiles legendary bands like Vice Squad, Angelic Upstarts, Blitz, Anti-Nowhere League, Cockney Rejects, and the UK Subs as well as more obscure groups like Xtract, The Skroteez, and Soldier Dolls through hundreds of new interviews and photographs. As the 1970s closed the media was quick to declare punk dead, but a new generation of even more aggressive and political bands were announcing their presence through some of the most primal and potent music ever committed to plastic. This book is the definitive guide to that previously overlooked era.

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.
