With Crass and Poison Girls opening the floodgates, the arrival of bands such as Amebix, Chumbawamba, Flux of Pink Indians, and Zounds heralded a new age of honesty and integrity in underground music. New, exclusive interviews and hundreds of previously unreleased photographs document the impact of all of the scene\u2019s biggest names\u2014and a fair few of the smaller ones\u2014highlighting how anarcho-punk took the rebellion inherent in punk from the very beginning to a whole new level of personal awareness.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1604865164\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1604865164&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=mediablitzretail-20&amp;linkId=UTSABBJRDIUPUEEW\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Day the Country Died: A History of Anarcho Punk 1980\u00961984<\/a><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=mediablitzretail-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1604865164\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1604865164\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1604865164&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=mediablitzretail-20&amp;linkId=UTSABBJRDIUPUEEW\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-24\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mediablitzretail.com\/punk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/buy-from-amazon-button.png?resize=300%2C118\" alt=\"buy-from-amazon-button\" width=\"300\" height=\"118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mediablitzretail.com\/punk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/buy-from-amazon-button.png?resize=300%2C118&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mediablitzretail.com\/punk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/buy-from-amazon-button.png?w=355&amp;ssl=1 355w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Day the Country Died: A History of Anarcho Punk 1980\u00961984 In this revealing history, author, historian, and musician Ian Glasper explores in minute detail the influential and esoteric UK anarcho-punk scene of the early 1980s.
