    Book Review: Networks of Sound, Style and Subversion: The punk and post-punk worlds of Manchester, London, Liverpool and Sheffield, 1975–80 blogs.lse.ac.uk/lsereviewofbooks/2015/04/22/book-review-networks-of-sound-style-and-subversion-the-punk- and-post-punk-worlds-of-manchester-london-liverpool-and-sheffield-1975-80/ 22/04/2015 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. Alex Hensby thinks this is a fine piece of work; a book that is driven by the author’s palpable knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject. Networks of Sound, Style and Subversion: The punk and post-punk worlds of Manchester, London, Liverpool and Sheffield, 1975–80. Nick Crossley. Manchester University Press. February 2015. It might be bad form to begin a book review with praise for another, but one of my favourite reads from last year was Clothes, Music, Boys by Viv Albertine. As a member of the London art college/squatter scene in the mid-1970s which spawned groups such as the Sex Pistols, the Clash and her band the Slits, Albertine’s memoir offers a particularly vivid personal account of how the punk movement assembled itself. On reading, one line in particular stood out: having been being invited to rehearse with Johnny Thunders’s seminal band the Heartbreakers, Albertine wrote “I was scared.

At times, however, the rhetoric has exceeded the actual practice, and the boundary between DIY authorship and professional production has become blurred. Though much early punk visual material was indeed raw, rough and ready, and often appeared to run counter to any kind of formal aesthetic criteria in respect to design or taste, it was also widely the product of trained graphic designers and illustrators with a keen awareness of the appropriate visual language required to reflect a new, self-styled, anarchic and polemical subculture. Even many of the celebrated ‘do-it-yourself’ punk pioneers relied on access to professional services for reproduction, including printers, pre-press art workers and record sleeve manufacturers.

  • Music 262: British Punk
    Music 262: British Punk [MUSIC PLAYING] SPEAKER: So punk rock eventually made its way to Britain. How this happened was this guy, Malcolm McLaren, who was a store owner-- he was in New York. He was around this scene-- the Velvet Underground, Television, the Ramones. And he really got the idea to bring this back to the UK. And his idea was to create a shop that sold this S&M type clothing and this sort of sex shop. And he put it in London. And he brought this whole aesthetic of punk rock to London, through fashion. So this became a place where these young kids in London would hang out, because they had, really, no other place to go. There was an economic recession at the time, and most young people in England, at the time, didn't have jobs. And so these young people would hang out in his shop where he sold these S&M clothes-- at times, even steal from him. It was sort of a scene. And so he got the idea-- he knows a number of his customers, about four of them, and talked them all into creating a punk rock band. This band became known as the Sex Pistols. And McLaren, of course, became the Sex Pistol's manager. So the Sex Pistols, really, were this far-out punk rock group. They took punk to the extreme. They would do crazy things onstage. They were very rude in their demeanor. They were very anti-British. They really represented their generation in Britain at the time.

  • 1 a Great Friggin' Swindle? Sex Pistols, School Kids and 1979
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Middlesex University Research Repository 1 A Great Friggin’ Swindle? Sex Pistols, School Kids and 1979 Richard Osborne This article examines the popularity of the Sex Pistols’ song “Friggin’ in the Riggin’” and its parent album The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle. It argues that in 1979 the Sex Pistols attracted a new and younger audience, one that has been neglected in previous studies of the band, which tend instead to focus on the years 1976 and 1977 and the band’s original coterie of followers. This article locates the teenage appeal of “Friggin’ in the Riggin’” in its themes of swearing, sex and piracy. It also explores the media infrastructure that enabled young adolescents to access this music. Following on from this, the article charts the triumph of Johnny Rotten’s Sex Pistols’ narrative over that of Malcolm McLaren. The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle fell prey to notions of authenticity, coherence and the canonical tastes of young adults. It’s time to come clean: I have repackaged my past. True enough, my first exposure to the Sex Pistols’ music came on the day of the Queen’s silver jubilee in 1977. Following a celebratory village fete, one of my brother’s friends called up and played the two of us “God Save the Queen” via the telephone. I have recounted this story on many occasions, suggesting I was synchronized with a significant pop cultural moment. I should now admit that it wasn’t this record or this moment that made me a fan of the band.

  • PUNK by Jon Savage I
    PUNK By Jon Savage I: INTRO I’m a street-walking cheetah with a heartfull of napalm… It starts with a feeling. I’m the runaway son of the nuclear A-bomb…. A feeling so intense and so out there that it struggles to make itself heard. I am the world’s forgotten boy… These screams of rage fall on deaf ears in the woozy hedonism of the early seventies. The singer is: too dumb, too blank, too violent. A dose of Amphetamine among the Quaaludes. He cuts himself on stage, flings himself into the audience…. Sick boy, sick boy, learning to be cruel… ..trying to get a reaction, any reaction. Anything but this boredom. Anything but this stoner ooze that avoids the issue of what it is to be young, outcast, and ready to murder a world. Is there concrete all around or is it in my head? The bloom is off youth culture as the promises of the sixties fade. The charismatic dark stars of the early seventies, David Bowie, Alice Cooper, catch this mood but by mid decade they are too successful and too old - sixties people themselves – to embody this feeling. They can write as observers but they aren’t inside it. I’m getting tired of being alone…. The secret heart of pop culture shifts from the country to the inner city. This is a dark, dangerous world. It’s a jungle out there. WWW.TEACHROCK.ORG Somethin’ comin’ at me all the time…. But after sundown, when everyone has fled, there is space. The new breed find the feeling in the midst of emptiness.
