Encyclopedia of Punk Rock and New Wave : 1975–1985
Punk & New Wave : 1975–1985 - Book by D.Luhrssen / M.Larson
(2025)
Explore the defining musical artists and moments of the punk rock and
new wave eras – one of the most transformative times in rock and roll
history. This encyclopedia makes the case for punk rock's enduring
social and cultural importance from 1975, when punk was born in New York
City, through 1985, by which time punk and new wave had changed the
rock music industry forever. Their introduction of new forms of
rebellious, boundary-redefining musical expression reverberated with new
generations of listeners, singers, and musicians.
The
encyclopedia covers notable recording acts whose debut albums were
released from 1975 through 1985. Coverage encompasses superstars (U2,
Duran Duran), historically foundational acts (Sex Pistols, Ramones) and
cult bands that amassed a significant legacy of recordings (Violent
Femmes, X). Covering discography highlights and touring controversies
alike, this resource covers all the reference bases for understanding
the most influential and electrifying bands of this era.
Coverage is further supplemented with entries on a wide assortment of
musical trends and side topics associated with punk rock and new wave
music.
