Postcards from Scotland : Scottish Independent Music 1983-1995 : 1
Scottish Indie Scene 1983 to 1995 - Book by Grant McPhee
(2024)
By 1983, many of Scotland's post-punk bands had broken up or moved south
to chase the major labels in London. That vacuum was filled by an
influx of young musicians who were determined to remake the scene in
their own image. In this compelling and dynamic oral history, Grant
McPhee chronicles the radical transformation of Scotland's independent
music scene from 1983-1995.
Including archival photos and
drawing from over 100 interviews with the key players of the time, Grant
McPhee allows them to set the scene in their own words; including the
Cocteau Twins, Shop Assistants, Teenage Fanclub, The Jesus and Mary
Chain, Primal Scream and many more. Postcards from Scotland is the
definitive story of the radicals, misfits and experimentalists who made
independent music what it is today.
