Rip It Up and Start Again
The book follows the musical genre and era of Postpunk in the years 1978–1984, primarily focusing on the U.K. rnPostpunk has been severely neglected by historians but is experiencing a resurgence of interest in popular culture, with the emergence of new postpunk subgenres like No Wave, punk funk, mutant disco and industrial. Reynolds focuses on the long “aftermath” of punk and describes these years as musically more interesting than the happenings in 1976/1977, “when punk staged its back-to basic rock ‘n’ roll revival. Even in terms of its broader cultural influence, it is arguable that punk had its most provocative repercussions long after its supposed demise.” (from the introduction)rnrnThe book is a compelling journey through a remarkable range of ideas and influences and portrays bands and musicians that reinvented the wheel of music culture in various ways: Public Image Limited, The Buzzcocks, Devo, Pere Ubu, The Pop Group, The Slits, Scritti Politti, Gang Of Four, Joy Division, Wire, Talking Heads, The Fall, Robert Wyatt, The Specials, Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, The Human League, ABC, Art Of Noise und Frankie Goes To Hollywood, among others.
