Our Band Could Be Your Life : Scenes from the American Indie Unde

Sobre el libro Our Band Could Be Your Life : Scenes from the American Indie Unde de Michael Azerrad publicado por Hachette UK al 2002:

ur Band Could Be Your Life is the never-before-told story of the musical revolution that happened right under the nose of the Reagan Eighties-when a small but sprawling network of bands, labels, fanzines, radio stations, and other subversives reenergized American rock with punk rock´s do-it-yourself credo and created music that was deeply personal, often brilliant, always challenging, and immensely influential. This sweeping chronicle of music, politics, drugs, fear, loathing, and faith is already being recognized as an indie rock classic in its own right. Among the Bands Profiled in Our Band Could be your Life * Mission of Burma * The Minutemen * Black Flag * Husker Du * Minor Threat * The Replacements * Butthole Surfers * Sonic Youth * Big Black * Fugazi * Mudhoney * Beat Happening * Dinosaur Jr.
