Buckle up for the wild and definitive month-by-month illustrated history of punk rock’s pivotal year, when the music, culture, and fashion exploded all over the mainstream. Music fans love to debate who invented punk rock—from the Velvet Underground to the Stooges to the New York Dolls to the Ramones, it sometimes seems there are more opinions than there were bands. But one fact is unarguable: 1977 was the year that punk rock detonated around the world. In Punk '77: The Year and Music That Revolutionized Rock, music historian Martin Popoff tells the story of twelve chaotic months when punk rock transformed from an underground provocation into a global cultural force. Moving through this pivotal year, Popoff traces the intertwined scenes of London and New York while also highlighting the genre’s spread to other regions, including Australia and cities throughout the US and UK.
