Silence Is No Reaction: Forty Years of Subhumans By Ian Glasper
Description
"Ian Glasper captures the emotion and excitement surrounding one of the most enduring punk bands on the planet. With an extensive?some might say forensic?narrative, this book really gets under the skin of a perennial favourite who have rarely put a foot wrong." - Nathan Haywire, Louder Than War
Formed in Wiltshire, England, in 1980, the Subhumans are rightly held in high regard as one of the best punk rock bands to ever hail from the UK. Over the course of five timeless studio albums and just as many classic EPs, not to mention well over 1000 gigs around the world, they have blended serious anarcho punk with a demented sense of humour and genuinely memorable tunes to create something quite unique and utterly compelling. For the first time ever, here's their whole story, straight from the recollections of every band member past and present, and a dizzying array of their closest friends and peers, with not a single stone left unturned. Bolstered with hundreds of fliers and exclusive photos, it's the definitive account of a much-loved band.
Fans of Subhumans and Punk in general will love this book. Detailing so much, from the genesis of the band, the practising, the song-writing, the recordings, the gigs, and the original split
to the reformation ? in fact everything you could possibly want to know about this iconic band.
Ian Glasper is the critically acclaimed author of several bestselling books on the underground UK punk scene, not least of all 2003's 'Burning Britain' and 2007's 'The Day The Country Died', but this is the first book he's ever written about just one band. And there isn't another band he would rather have written about more.
