Produktbeschreibung
Packed with first-hand stories and unpolished nuggets, this book plots a path through UKHC in the '90s as it developed into an underground scene. Focusing on the people; artists, promoters, venues, record labels and fanzines, and following the evolution of the author's bands, it looks at the intricacies of the post-punk genre and bursts with 'straight from the horse's mouth' hardcore anecdotes that'll keep you turning the pages. You'll read about touring and gigs with hundreds of bands, including Green Day, NOFX, Alice Donut, Jailcell Recipes, The BBMFs, Majority Of One, Spermbirds, The Babies Three, Understand, Samiam, Down By Law, Alloy, Hot Water Music, Bob Tilton, Tribute, Discount, Blue Tip, Leiah, Leatherface, Spy Versus Spy, Hunter Gatherer, Dismemberment Plan, Burning Airlines, Piebald and many more. If you were ever in a band, then you'll recognise and empathise with much of the narrative. And if you've wondered what it would be like to tour and release records at the underdog end of the alternative music scene, then this book will take you on an invigorating and enlightening roller-coaster ride. Foreword by Frank Turner (songwriter/musician) and supporting the Music Venue Trust for grassroots venues and musicians. At 666 pages this is a monster of a book, but one you will not want to put down.

He's played in bands since his teens, including Couch Potatoes, Joeyfat, Rydell, Come The Spring and The Atlantic Union Project, and is an active part of the alternative music scene, having promoted gigs, edited a fanzine and run a record label.He established his current label, Engineer Records, back in 1999 and continues releasing great records to this day, with well over 400 releases and counting.His first two books were, 'Punk Faction', a collection of BHP fanzine excerpts that cover a range of subjects important to the youth of the '90s and still relevant to the alternative scene of today, and 'A Hardcore Heart', a semi-autobiographical account of the UKHC scene in the '90s focusing on the artists, promoters, venues, and labels involved.David lives with his wife and two sons in East Sussex, and when he's not playing with his family and their four cats, or writing, he enjoys travelling, strangling his guitar and introducing others to obscure rock bands.
