Title: Good, although it was almost a little too much
Product review: A great history of punk rock from the late 1960s through the 1990s, when the grunge explosion happened. Azerrad is one of my favorite rock journalists and he doesn't disappoint with this book, although in places it almost seems to get too detailed. It's a series of essays about the backstories of the most influential indie bands - Black Flag, Fugazi, The Replacements, Mudhoney, etc. Each section is dense and this was not a "fast read" for me. I learned a lot about the history of bands I've been listening to since I was a young teenager. Great for fans of the music genre, but if you are a die-hard fan of an individual band I'm sure you would be better off reading a book just about that band.
