Description
ESG's Come Away with ESG explores the journey of ESG, one of the first bands to sign with the British indie label Factory Records, working alongside famed producer Martin Hannett on their early EPs.
ESG's signature guitar sound from the iconic single ‘UFO’ has been sampled in hundreds of hip hop records. Everyone from Karen O to Kathleen Hanna lists the South Bronx group as a direct influence. So why do the Scroggins sisters appear as nothing more than a footnote in the 1980s music scene?
Through interviews with founding member Renee Scroggins, alongside cult figures from 1980s New York and Northern England, this book follows the story of a group of sisters who made it out of the New York projects and into the heart of the dancefloor. Come Away with ESG repositions ESG in their rightful place as punk pioneers and explains how their primal beats have paved the way for modern dance music today.
