Anarchy in the Year Zero The Sex Pistols, the Clash and the Class of '76
Early UK Punk - Book - by Clinton Heylin
(2016)
This is the story of the birth of Punk, with a capital P, in the
only country where it was a mainstream movement: the UK; told entirely
by eye-witnesses (Heylin included) whose words, then and now, have been
held up to the light of history’s hindsight.
This is also the
story of the rebirth of Rock, by a bunch of bands who set out to
deconstruct and destroy the form, on the island that largely invented it
and reinvented it at least twice in the fifteen years before Punk.
And
it is the story of the ex-Catholic, semi-Irish, snot-nosed,
working-class Cockney oik who dealt the final, fatal blow to England’s
dreams of empire when he became a Rotten revolutionary.
But most
of all it is the story of a handful of British youths who were inspired
to raise their voice in song, and allow it to echo around the world.
It
is a story that, till now, has only been told piecemeal: of one band
blazing a trail gig by gig, convert by convert, to the pre-set agenda –
not always adhered to – of a fetish shop owner until, within a single
year, the whole island rocked to the sound of ANARCHEEE.
How did this happen and why does it still matter?
