Description
Charting the History of the Evolution of Popular Music in the Late 20th Century music through the stories of the people who were there to shape it, Vox Rox takes you on a journey from post-prog, through art rock, industrial music, punk, heavy metal, gothic rock, synth pop, post-punk, no wave, mod revival, ska, new romantic, and electronic body music, to arrive finally (in this edition) at new wave. The book presents a series of candid and in-depth interviews with legends of each movement, featuring conversations with: 10cc, The Residents, Throbbing Gristle, The Lurkers, John Otway, Adam and the Ants, Saxon, Bauhaus, Alien Sex Fiend, Depeche Mode, Lene Lovich, Heaven 17, Magazine, Wire, JG Thirlwell, Swans, The Vapors, The Specials, Madness, Belle Stars, Visage, Front 242, The Hooters, and Big Country.
Soon to be followed by a second installation which will pick up the gauntlet where it is here left (going on to explore grunge, indie, alt rock, brit pop, madchester, rave, trip-hop and more), Vox Rox is essential reading for anyone who has ever been gripped by music of these iconic artists and wondered What was going through their head when they made that?
