Product Description
CD Description
Here on one CD, picked by the bands themselves
are 24 of the defining tracks of the era. An era
when in the mid-Eighties, as Thatcher turned the
screw and the charts overflowed with what felt to
many like the most boring pop music ever made,
the underground exploded. The post-post-punk
scene was a diverse collection of bands brought
together by independent releases and a neverending
series of gigs performed in off centre venues
the length and breadth of the UK, aided by
reportage in fanzines and radio play from John
Peel.
Some of these acts went on to mainstream success,
some were rounded up and herded awkwardly into
the NME's C86 bracket whilst others faded away,
only to become seminal influences in later years.
In Death To Trad Rock we meet everybody involved
and find out just how they all arrived at such an
unlikely tangent in such a boring decade. On Death
To Trad Rock-The Album we hear the beautiful
noise they created.

Acting as the perfect accompaniment, and partner
in crime to John Robb s brilliant book.

Format:Audio CD
At last an audio document that covers the era of Thatcher,Liberty Clampdowns,Rampant Capitalism and the Independent Music Scenes rebellious kickback at mainstream Pop-Culture.These bands were in the vanguard of a scene with no-name but were aware of each other and the cultural climate that they existed in.Sit back and listen to musicians who were genuinely creating new sounds with traditional instruments...It was a blank musical canvas and these bands got their hands very messy ! Awesome...
