A gorgeous hardcover time capsule of the emo music scene as it was
from 1996 to 2006, featuring never-before-seen photographs and
never-before-told stories from key emo musicians, photographers,
and icons. While the term emo has become a familiar label, there
was a time when that wasn't the case. Many bands of the mid-to-late
'90s would never have classified themselves as such - back then,
the term was not only inaccurate but often used derogatorily. With
the advent of the 2000s, the previously underground emo scene was
put on the map, and the term and sound of the genre morphed into
something new. A musical renaissance was happening, but bands
didn't give much thought to the label in the long term. Nothing
mattered, as long as the kids came out to shows. Today, the musical
and cultural impact of this movement is alive and well, responsible
for some of the biggest and most influential acts of the 21st
century, from Jimmy Eat World to My Chemical Romance, and the emo
label has been reclaimed by those who can't imagine life without
it. Through rare and never-before-seen photographs Amy Fleisher
Madden, founder of Fiddler Records (Dashboard Confessional, New
Found Glory, Recover, and more), thoughtfully and lovingly puts
together this moving archive of the second and third waves of emo.
With a foreword by Chris Carrabba (Dashboard Confessional) and
revealing essays from Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance), Geoff
Rickly (Thursday), Norman Brannon (Texas Is the Reason), and Matt
Pryor (The Get Up Kids), as well as insights and bite-sized
narratives from photographers and other musicians of the era, this
heartwarming time capsule expounds an extraordinary moment in music
history - a scene that gave life to not only numerous big names but
also to a powerful sound and even more powerful friendships.
Featuring over 80 bands, including: Jimmy Eat World Dashboard
Confessional My Chemical Romance Texas Is the Reason Taking Back
Sunday The Get Up Kids Thursday The Promise Ring American Football
Saosin From basements and VFW halls to dive bars and
hole-in-the-walls, during long overnight drives through the middle
of nowhere and stolen moments of sleep in carbon-copy motels,
Negatives captures the heart of what made up this tight-knit
community, an official archive of life as it was, taking you on
stage, behind the curtain, and on the road.
When it comes to New York City hardcore, its community proudly
boasts Lou and Pete Koller-brothers who have dominated the scene
worldwide since 1986 with the aurally devastating Sick of It All as
their vehicle. "One the best books ever written about hardcore,
period..." -Decibel Magazine For Flushing, Queens natives Lou and
Pete Koller, hardcore has become a lifestyle as well as an unlikely
career. From the moment these siblings began applying their
abilities to punk's angrier, grimier sub-genre, they quickly became
fifty percent of one of the most intense and compelling quartets to
ever claim the movement-the legendary New York hardcore band, Sick
of it All. Contrary to popular belief, Lou and Pete are proof
positive that you don't need to have lived a street life, or come
from a fractured, chaotic home in order to produce world-class
hardcore. If Agnostic Front are the godfathers of New York
hardcore, then vocalist Lou and guitarist Pete are its grand
masters. The Blood and the Sweat is the no-holds-barred
autobiography of two brothers who have never wavered, as well as an
unrelenting depiction of the American dream, and the drive and
determination required to live it-regardless of whatever obstacles
appear before you. Featuring commentary from family, friends,
bandmates past and present, and their peers, including Gary Holt
(Exodus, Slayer), Kurt Brecht (D.R.I.), Barney Greenway (Napalm
Death), and more...
