Death to Trad Rock/ Various - Death to Trad Rock / Various

2009 collection that acts as the perfect accompaniment, and partner in crime to John Robb's brilliant book on a scene so smart-arse, it daren't call itself scene, Death to Trad Rock. Here on one CD are 25 of the defining tracks of the Post Post-Punk era: The mid-80s. The Post-Post-Punk scene was a diverse collection of bands brought together by independent releases and a never-ending series of gigs performed in off centre venues the length and breadth of the UK, aided by reportage in fanzines and radio play from John Peel. Includes cuts from the Membranes, the Three Johns, a Witness, the Wedding Present, Age of Chance, the June Brides and many others. Cherry Red.
