    One Chord Wonders Power and Meaning in Punk Rock

    PM Press

    USA PAPERBACK BOOK!!! 50% OFF!!!!!

    One Chord Wonders was the first full-length study of the glory years of British punk rock. The book argues that one of punk's most significant political achievements was to expose the operations of power in the British entertainment industries as they were thrown into confusion by the sound and the fury of musicians and fans. Through a detailed examination of the conditions under which punk emerged and then declined, Dave Laing develops a view of the music as both complex and contradictory.
