Abstract

Led by the iconic Ian Curtis, Joy Division remains one of the most influential bands to emerge in the British Post-Punk Scene. In spite of Joy Division’s relatively short existence, their unique sound and distinct iconography have had a lasting impact on music fans and performers alike. This book disassembles the band’s contribution to rock music. Based on up-to-date original research, Heart And Soul brings together established and newly emerging scholars who provide detailed examinations the many layers of this multi-faceted and influential band and their singer, the late Ian Curtis, in particular. Given Joy Division’s complexities, the book draws upon a wide range of academic disciplines and approaches in order to make sense of this influential band

Abstract

This book examines the birth of punk in the UK and its transformation, within a short period of time, into post-punk. Deploying innovative concepts of 'critical mass', 'social networks' and 'music worlds', and using sophisticated techniques of 'social network analysis', it teases out the events and mechanisms involved in punk's 'micro-mobilisation', its diffusion across the UK and its transformation in certain city-based strongholds into a variety of interlocking post-punk forms. Nick Crossley offers a detailed review of prior work in this area, a rich exploration of new empirical data and a highly innovative and robust approach to the study of 'music worlds'.Written in an accessible style, this book is essential reading for anybody with an interest in either UK punk and post-punk or the impact of social networks on cultural life and the potential of social network analysis to explore this impact.

Abstract

"A great deal has been written about punk and the dramatic changes it wrought in the transatlantic world of pop music. A wave of new music that was strongly influenced by the politics and sounds of punk-but less raw, more commercially successful-followed close on punk's heels in the late 1970s. (Think Joy Division, The Raincoats, Human League, Public Image Limited, The Slits.) Post-punk has always been controversial to the influential fans of punk and rock (music writers as well as music fans): post-punk is more self-consciously "arty" and cosmopolitan, engaged with genres outside the predominantly white-identified rock family tree (particularly reggae and disco), and has always been willing to question the valuing of authenticity over artifice (and pleasure). Haddon focuses on how post-punk's push beyond the tropes of rock and punk challenged prevalent ideas about what makes pop music culturally valuable and commercially successful, showing how post-punk's emphasis on artifice, identity politics, and eclecticism opened the door to wider discussions of these topics in the context of other genres ranging from glam and New Wave to indie rock"--

Abstract

As the Sex Pistols were breaking up, Britain was entering a new era. Punk’s filth and fury had burned brightly and briefly; soon a new underground offered a more sustained and constructive challenge. As future-focused, independently released singles appeared in the wake of the Sex Pistols, there were high hopes in magazines like NME and the DIY fanzine media spawned by punk. Post-Punk, Politics and Pleasure in Britain explores how post-punk’s politics developed into the 1980s. Illustrating that the movement’s monochrome gloom was illuminated by residual flickers of countercultural utopianism, it situates post-punk in the ideological crossfire of a key political struggle of the era: a battle over pleasure and freedom between emerging Thatcherism and libertarian, feminist and countercultural movements dating back to the post-war New Left. Case studies on bands including Gang of Four, The Fall and the Slits and labels like Rough Trade move sensitively between close reading, historical context and analysis of who made post-punk and how it was produced and mediated. The book examines, too, how the struggles of post-punk resonate down to the present. .

Abstract

A collection of over 650 original scans of printed ephemera and memorabilia from the prime years of the punk and post-punk movements. Andrew Krivine found himself and punk in the summer of 1977, when staying with a cousin who was at the heart of the protean movement in London. Since then he has amassed one of the world's largest collections of punk graphic design and memorabilia. Part of his collection has been on display at the Museum of Art Design in New York and the Cranbrook Art Museum in Michigan and is currently touring around the world. This book represents the cream of that collection - over 650 original scans of posters, flyers, covers and ads from the prime years of the movement which changed the world of graphic design forever. Unlike previous books of punk memorabilia, Too Fast to Live, Too Young to Die doesn't seek to tell the story of punk - we all know that - but instead tells of the graphic design of the period and of one man's obsession with creating a definitive and unparalleled collection of punk memorabilia. The illustrative content of Too Fast To Live, Too Young To Die is verified, critically assessed and given provenance by an array of graphic design experts, academics and commentators. Among them Steven Heller (former art director of New York Times), Dr Russ Bestley (reader in graphic design at the London College of Communication), Rick Poynor, Malcolm Garrett and Pullitzer and National Book Award-winning editor Michael Wilde. The book is beautifully produced with front and back cover artwork by Malcolm Garrett and Peter Saville, the designers behind some of punk's most memorable album covers.
