More than 60 profiles and interviews, taken from the pages of the acclaimed independent music magazine \u003ci\u003ePuncture\u003c\/i\u003e and illustrated with many rare photographs, cover all the major contributors to a lastingly influential musical movement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e It's impossible to determine a single starting point for indie rock, but here it is found in the scintillating psychodramas Kristin Hersch conjured up for Throwing Muses and the deadpan, genre-busting, proto-slacker anthems of Camper Van Beethoven, and followed through to the critical triumphs of Sleater-Kinney and Neutral Milk Hotel more than a decade later. Along the way, it takes in such pioneering artists as P.J. Harvey, Sonic Youth, the Pixies, Bikini Kill, Nick Cave, Beck, Cat Power, Fugazi, Mekons, Pavement, Belle \u0026amp; Sebastian, Meat Puppets, My Bloody Valentine, Sebadoh, the Breeders, Jeff Buckley, Guided by Voices, Will Oldham, Hole, Flaming Lips, the Magnetic Fields, and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verse Chorus Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781891241673\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 8.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Katherine Spielmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36670023237788,"sku":"9781891241673","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_78f987d6-8427-4e79-b7e1-d6cea09798ad.jpg?v=1603921652","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/now-is-the-time-to-invent-9781891241673","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
