Anesiadis, Alexandros - We Can Be The New Wind
Description
Encyclopaedia of 1980-1989 Pop-Punk including interviews and insights. Featuring over 900 bands. Foreword by Mike Gitter XXX zine.
'We Can Be The New Wind' captures the era when bands throughout the world were blending more melodic and experimental styles whilst heading in an alternative rock direction for hardcore punk. It is the early encyclopaedia of powerful pop-punk. Including in-depth profiles of both the bigger names and more underground players that helped push this new sound forward and interviews with over 150 bands, such as 7 Seconds, Husker Du, Dream Syndicate,
Hard-Ons, Camper Van Beethoven, The Plimsouls and To Damascus. More than 900 bands from all over the world, active from 1980 to 1989, get an interesting and insightful mention. Alexandros Anesiadis is a massive fan of hardcore punk and metal, but his interests aren't solely limited within those musical styles. Having already written 'Crossover the Edge: Where Hardcore, Punk And Metal Collide', Anesiadis has set the bar pretty high in terms of musical research, managing to explore even the most unknown bands alongside all the big names of the genre. Born in 1981 in Thessaloniki, Greece he describes himself as a 'manic record collector', always trying to get his hands onto releases by bands that no-one has a clue about. Anesiadis is selling his soul to acquire all the Wipers, Discharge, D.R.I. and Naked Raygun records, and lovesgoing to small-club gigs, travelling the world and attempting to make
his daughter and wife happy!
"Anesiadis writes from a place of love and respect and has interviewed many of the band members for this book. There are some great facts that even the most seasoned of journalists will discover they didn't know." -John Deaux, All About The Rock
