With its own clothes, hair, artwork, fanzines and radical politics, Punk boasted a DIY ethos that meant anyone could take part. The scene was uniquely vibrant and energetic, leaving an extraordinary legacy of notorious events, charismatic characters and inspirational music.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJohn Robb has spent over a year interviewing more than 100 contributors including Glen Matlock, Mick Jones, Don Letts, Slash, Billy Bragg, Hugh Cornwell and Captain Sensible. Now, for the first time, they give the inside view on events such as The Sex Pistols' swearing live on the Bill Grundy TV show and staging their anti-Jubilee riverboat party on the Thames, famous gigs at The Roxy and 100 Club, and the groundbreaking records by The Pistols, The Clash, The Damned and others. From the widely debated roots of punk in the late-Sixties through to the fallout of the post-punk period in 1984, and the ongoing influence on today's bands, Punk Rock is the definitive oral history of an inimitable and exciting movement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished: 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Ebury Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePages: 576\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN 10: 1529989221\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN 13: \u003c\/span\u003e9781529989229\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Robb","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53915786838282,"sku":null,"price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/Screenshot2026-10-15at12.35.40.png?v=1792060727","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/punk-rock-an-oral-history","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
