This book helps you learn about the fiery history of a furious, rebellious, contradictory and boundary-redefining musical genre. It is a lavishly illustrated and authoritative A-Z guide. It reveals how punk music and culture has produced a rich trove of material above and beyond the hundreds of bands. Punk stretches over three decades and numerous countries, with a history as rich and varied as it is shocking and daring. With this lavishly illustrated and authoritative A-Z guide, now in a new format, Brian Cogan leads readers through the fiery history of a furious, rebellious, contradictory and boundary-redefining musical genre and cultural movement that remains as massively influential as it is wildly misunderstood. As "The Encyclopedia of Punk" clearly proves, punk music and culture has produced a rich trove of material, above and beyond the hundreds of bands, from books and films to incendiary political movements.
