No More Heroes A Complete History of UK Punk from 1976 to 1980

In 1976 music changed forever with the arrival of a self-empowering alternative to the bloated, sterile rock music of the day. Bands promoted their own gigs, designed their own artwork and organised their own pressing and distribution. Punk had landed. Alex Ogg conducted over 200 interviews with the participants - an endeavour that has resulted in a chronicle of the icons of the movement and a celebration of some of the lost bands of the era - not to mention the cash-ins and artistic failures. Includes detailed accounts of the career paths of the major players.
