Punk - Mark Blake

Eyewitness accounts from the people who were there, original features from Sounds magazine (the first to cover Punk) and the best music writers from Mojo relate how an underground scene in New York and London transformed the pompous, stale music of the 1970s, and inspired New Wave, Grunge and a whole generation of bands.
