More than 60 profiles and interviews, taken from the pages of the acclaimed independent music magazine \u003ci\u003ePuncture\u003c\/i\u003e and illustrated with many rare photographs, cover all the major contributors to a lastingly influential musical movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's impossible to determine a single starting point for indie rock, but here it is found in the scintillating psychodramas Kristin Hersch conjured up for Throwing Muses and the deadpan, genre-busting, proto-slacker anthems of Camper Van Beethoven, and followed through to the critical triumphs of Sleater-Kinney and Neutral Milk Hotel more than a decade later. Along the way, it takes in such pioneering artists as P.J. Harvey, Sonic Youth, the Pixies, Bikini Kill, Nick Cave, Beck, Cat Power, Fugazi, Mekons, Pavement, Belle \u0026amp; Sebastian, Meat Puppets, My Bloody Valentine, Sebadoh, the Breeders, Jeff Buckley, Guided by Voices, Will Oldham, Hole, Flaming Lips, the Magnetic Fields, and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNineties nostalgia is still peaking...
