But the reality - if you scratch beneath the surface - is that punk has gone underground once again, and is as vibrant and relevant as it's always been; there are still thousands of angry youths making vital music the length and breadth of the nation, and they still don't need permission from anyone to have their say.</p><p>648 pages. 234 x 156 x 40mm</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>The Scene That Would Not Die</p><p>by Ian Glasper </p><p> </p><p>"The book reads like an encyclopedia of bands...
