For the first time ever, ‘Burning Britain: A History Of UK Punk 1980 – 1984’

Burning
Britain
As the 70s drew to a close and the media declared punk dead and buried, a whole new breed of band was emerging from the gutter. Harder and
faster than their ‘76-77 predecessors, not to mention more aggressive and political, the likes of Discharge, The Exploited and GBH were to prove not
only more relevant but arguably just as influential.
Over two years in the making, and including hundreds of previously unseen
photos, ‘Burning Britain’ features everyone from the Abrasive Wheels
to Vice Squad, and has all the big names such as Peter And The Test Tube Babies,
Anti-Nowhere League and UK Subs rubbing shoulders with many of the more obscure
acts of the time, including, Xtract, Skroteez and Soldier Dolls.
This eagerly anticipated book really is the last word on the grim reality
of being a teenage punk rocker against the harsh economic backdrop of Thatcher’s
Britain.
Also coming from Cherry Red in September 2004, ‘Burning Britain: The
DVD’ – thirty previously unreleased and rare video clips from the
best bands featured in ‘Burning Britain: A History Of UK Punk 1980 – 1984’.
