Reviews"Its unique brand of energy helps make it a riot all its own." --Harp Magazine "John Robb is a great writer...and he is supremely qualified in my opinion to talk about punk rock." --Mick Jones, The Clash "John Robb is as punk rock as The Clash." --Alan McGee, "It takes a punker to write one of the definitive books on punk rock that exploded on the music scene in the mid-1970s before fragmenting into niches like Oi, Hardcore and Two Tone. John Robb (The Membranes) has written such [a] book." --www.IBRNews.com, "With its brilliant balance of in-depth information and accessibility, this title will be equally at home on academic, public, and personal library shelves. Essential for punk fans and highly recommended for readers interested in firsthand accounts of the growth of new cultural movements." -- Library Journal (December 2012), "From the early pub scene, to the U.K. debut of The Ramones, from the grrrl power of The Slits, to the chaotic saga of The Sex Pistols, from 1977 to the peak of the second wave and beyond. Robb chronicles it all through those who lived through it." --www.DonPalabraz.com, "Robb, in an ambitious compendium, with brief forewords by Michael Bracewell and Black Flag's Henry Rollins, provides those who were there and many of us who listened from a distance in time or space the sensation of freedom." --www.PopMatters.com, "John Robb is a great writer . . . and he is supremely qualified, in my opinion, to talk about punk rock." --Mick Jones, The Clash, "John Robb is a great writer . . . and he is supremely qualified, in my opinion, to talk about punk rock." Mick Jones, The Clash, "I'd say it's as close to a go-to tome as you're gonna get if you're looking for a street-level account of the origins of Europe's wing of the punk revolution." -- Razorcake (February 2013), "Robb, in an ambitious compendium, with brief forewords by Michael Bracewell and Black Flag's Henry Rollins, provides those who were there and many of us who listened from a distance in time or space the sensation of freedom." -www.PopMatters.com, "John Robb is a great writer . . . and he is supremely qualified, in my opinion, to talk about punk rock." -Mick Jones, The Clash, "I'd say it's as close to a go-to tome as you're gonna get if you're looking for a street-level account of the origins of Europe's wing of the punk revolution." - Razorcake (February 2013), "From the early pub scene, to the U.K. debut of The Ramones, from the grrrl power of The Slits, to the chaotic saga of The Sex Pistols, from 1977 to the peak of the second wave and beyond.

So he went to work on picking the brains of over 100 first and second wavers and ended up with Punk Rock: An Oral History ." --www.PsychoBabble200.blogspot.com, "Robb, in an ambitious compendium, with brief forewords by Michael Bracewell and Black Flag's Henry Rollins, provides those who were there and many of us who listened from a distance in time or space the sensation of freedom." -www.PopMatters.com, "Former Membrane John Robb recognized the gap in the tale that appears in any third person telling: the punks didn't get to tell their side of the story in their own words.

SynopsisWith its own fashion, culture, and chaotic energy, punk rock boasted a do-it-yourself ethos that allowed anyone to take part. Vibrant and volatile, the punk scene left an extraordinary legacy of music and cultural change. John Robb talks to many of those who cultivated the movement, such as John Lydon, Lemmy, Siouxsie Sioux, Mick Jones, Chrissie Hynde, Malcolm McLaren, Henry Rollins, and Glen Matlock, weaving together their accounts to create a raw and unprecedented oral history of UK punk. All the main players are here: from The Clash to Crass, from The Sex Pistols to the Stranglers, from the UK Subs to Buzzcocks--over 150 interviews capture the excitement of the most thrilling wave of rock 'n' roll pop culture ever. Ranging from its widely debated roots in the late 1960s to its enduring influence on the bands, fashion, and culture of today, this history brings to life the energy and the anarchy as no other book has done., John Robb talks to many of those who cultivated the punk movement, weaving together their accounts to create a raw and unprecedented oral history of UK punk.
