Trapped In A Scene book - UK Hardcore 1985-1989


Ian Glasper
book_hardcore.jpg
Released on 21/09/09 The underground hardcore scene of the mid-late Eighties was UK punk rock's last significant creative gasp. Emerging from the wreckage of the anarcho punk scene spawned by the likes of Crass and Conflict, it took its influences from the studs 'n' leather punk bands of the early Eighties such as Discharge and GBH, and also the nascent American hardcore movement and the emerging metal/punk crossover scene. Filter all of this through some through fiercely DIY aesthetics and you had a potent movement that spawned such seminal acts as Napalm Death, ENT, The Stupids and Heresy. With the backing of John Peel and an unwavering work ethic, these bands, and the labels that launched them (including Earache and Peaceville - both now widely regarded as having some of the finest metal rosters in the world), pushed musical boundaries into new and previously unexplored avenues of extremity, helping to shape the alternative music scene we know and love today. Ian Glasper is the critically acclaimed author of two previous books for Cherry Red, 2004's 'Burning Britain' and 2006's 'The Day The Country Died', and 'Trapped In A Scene is the long-awaited closing volume of his celebrated trilogy on the UK punk scene of the Eighties. As per those first two books, it digs deeper than anyone has previously dared into a subculture that was as manic, exciting, innovative and defiant as anything before or since, if not more so. Constructed upon meticulously gathered first-hand accounts and heaving with exclusive never-seen-before photographs, 'Trapped In A Scene' is the definitive document on UKHC and essential reading for anyone with a passing interest in the convoluted evolution of genuinely challenging punk music.

Can't wait for this. Burning Britain was proper good, The Day The Country Died was amazing, but this is the one with the greatest number of bands that really defined punk for me. Biblical!!
 
i got mine last Monday, nearly finished it. It's a good read for sure. I bought mine in Waterstones, they got two copies in and there's still one left.

Regarding P.T.I.S. i had thought Shane died in the late 80's, not the late 90's as mentioned in the book? I could be wrong.

Cool Ill have to take a wee dive into waterstones later and see if theres still a copy left!
 
Keady gets a mention in the Disturbed (Scottish band) section, even though they didn't get to play. There were photos from that gig used in a scene report in MRR at the time. I was living over in London at the time.
 
it would have been 88 as i was in London at the time. going by the book it was supposed to be in Keady. we tried to get another gig, all Belfast bands, but the landlord of the pub became a dick and said the cops would close him down if the gig went ahead. as a bus load (maybe two) of punks came down from Belfast, we all went to Portrush and then back to Belfast. had a gig in the practise room of the old Warzone place. our band DeadHead even played, I think Marty PTIS may have played drums for us too.
 
Speaking of books. Mel, do you still have that Sportswear 7" with the mastodontic 14 pages interview? Someone on Moshspace told me they got it from you.

Anyways, now that this is out, I got the perfect excuse to get all 3 in one go. Especially as besides the obvious ones, I am quite ignorant when it comes to UKHC.
