THE DAY THE COUNTRY DIED: A History of Anarcho Punk 1980-1984 Book
$49.95 AUD
The Day the Country Died: A History of Anarcho Punk 1980?1984 by author and historian Ian Glasper is an in-depth exploration of the influential UK anarcho-punk scene of the early 1980s. The book details how this movement, with a backdrop of Thatcher's Britain, pushed punk from a mere fashion statement into a genuine revolutionary force. Bands like Crass, Poison Girls, Conflict, Subhumans, and Chumbawamba embraced a self-sufficient, DIY ethos and a commitment to social change. Glasper documents how they created a new, aggressive, and politically charged sound, fueled by ideals of "freedom, peace, and unity" rather than commercial gain. The book provides a comprehensive history of the scene's biggest and smallest names through exclusive interviews and hundreds of previously unpublished photographs.
