Pocket Guide To Punk Av Mick O'Shea

The punk movement created a revolution in the music industry with its anarchic approach and DIY = ethos. It was the antidote to a bloated record business that had become moribund and prog bands which had become hugely self-indulgent. Punk grew out of the politics of the Seventies in the UK and from bands like Dr Feelgood.With the Sex Pistols as torch bearers the movement provoked strong reactions amongst music fans and industry alike.
