Late Century Dream looks at a number of underground regional scenes in the US through the fertile years of the 1980s and 90s, encompassing many different genres under the DIY banner. The book's six key texts each revolve around a key city and/or creative hub of groups. These include: a definitive alternative take on grunge-era Seattle, largely circumnavigating the populist Sub Pop hegemony; the early cop-baiting punk rock, weirdo skronk and post-psychedelic rock of Austin, Texas; a varied oral account of the art school-derived post-punk scene in Athens, Georgia; a personal account of an immersion in the college rock hotbed of Chapel Hill, North Carolina; an in-depth look at Phoenix, Arizona's rich history of left-field alternative and punk; and a geographically de-centralised primer on Chicago s Drag City Records.
