HISTOIRE ORALE DU PUNK ROCK

John Robb

[Punk Rock - UK 70-80s]

John Robb a décidé d’arpenter les routes pour interviewer les acteurs de ce mouvement excitant et inimitable (voir ci après la liste longue comme le bras). En rassemblant ces témoignages, il raconte une histoire orale du punk brute et spontanée. Depuis ses origines controversées de la fin des années soixante jusqu’aux répercussions de la période post-punk de 1984, John Robb démontre avec ce livre que le punk rock reste encore aujourd’hui, un mouvement viscéral, plein d’énergie et de passion. Traduction française de ce livre paru pour la première fois en anglais en 1988. Préface de Michael Bracewell - Avant-propos de Henry Rollins
