    About this ebook

    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.

      This book is comprised of snippets (some longer some shorter) about all the UK 82 bands you've ever wanted a little more info about. It's divided into regions, with my favorite being Northern Ireland. Although, if you are interested in punk from Ulster pick up the infinitely superior (though sometimes hard to get hold of It Makes You Want to Spit: The Definitive Guide to Punk in Northern Ireland by Sean O'Neill. As the oral transmission of these stories dies out it's nice to have a handy reference like this.
