Whether you take your 'Year Zero' from New York Dolls in the US in 1975 or the heady bile of The Clash and Sex Pistols in London the following year, it's impossible to overstate the importance of punk. Its attitudinal wrath and scorn for all that came before it rewrote attitudes towards popular culture.
This book examines the songs that encapsulated the punks' radical message of dissatisfaction and anger. From the daddies of the scene - The Clash and The Pistols, through to The Buzzcocks, The Stranglers, The Undertones and The Damned, this title dissects punk's nihilistic classic tunes.
