By the late 1970s, American rock-and-roll had become bloated, corporate and complacent, and the fierce energy of English punk had burned itself out. In frustration, alternative music scenes began springing up in cities around the country to fill the vacuum, well below the radar of the major record companies. Scornful of corporate rock, musicians started their own independent labels, formed a loose network of like-minded fans, and learned how to manage bands on the cheap. Indie rock was born. A sweeping look at a world of margin walkers and an incredible chronicle of music, politics, drugs, fear, loathing, and faith — an indie rock classic.
