Description

An anthology of short stories and poems submitted by an impressive line up of contributors. All pieces share a unifying theme everything included in this collection will be inspired by a punk song. Contributors have been hand-picked from the generations that followed the punk revolution; those at the forefront of contemporary popular culture, who have been (and are still being) influenced by the movement, rather than punk s original vanguard. Though they are drawn mainly from music, those involved embrace all the arts and include some of the most exciting contemporary authors around. The book will act as proof (if any were needed) that the punk rock legacy was not merely musical but that the stones it cast upon the surface of cultural life created ripples that reached into every corner, and exerted a force that continues to this day. A 1 donation to The Teenage Cancer Trust will be made for every book sold. The various authors, drawn from the cutting edge of UK music and the arts that have contributed to this outstanding collection include Billy Bragg, Nicholas Hogg, Kele Okereke (Bloc Party), Alison Mosshart (The Kills), Will Hodgkinson, Alan Donohoe (The Rakes), Billy Childish and Kate Jackson (The Long Blondes).
