Between 1977 and 1984 Gang Of Four pioneered the concept of the indie Guitar band that could make you think as well as dance. This is the fascinating story of how the Leeds-based outfit emerged at the height of punk and helped take it in a whole new direction, adding elements of funk, disco, dub reggae and experimental rock. Through interviews with all the original band members, managers, A&R men and musicians who joined GO4 later, author Paul Lester demonstrates how the groundbreaking band paved the way for some of the world's biggest acts, including the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Franz Ferdinand.

As the Sex Pistols were breaking up, Britain was entering a new era. Punk’s filth and fury had burned brightly and briefly; soon a new underground offered a more sustained and constructive challenge. As future-focused, independently released singles appeared in the wake of the Sex Pistols, there were high hopes in magazines like NME and the DIY fanzine media spawned by punk. Post-Punk, Politics and Pleasure in Britain explores how post-punk’s politics developed into the 1980s. Illustrating that the movement’s monochrome gloom was illuminated by residual flickers of countercultural utopianism, it situates post-punk in the ideological crossfire of a key political struggle of the era: a battle over pleasure and freedom between emerging Thatcherism and libertarian, feminist and countercultural movements dating back to the post-war New Left. Case studies on bands including Gang of Four, The Fall and the Slits and labels like Rough Trade move sensitively between close reading, historical context and analysis of who made post-punk and how it was produced and mediated. The book examines, too, how the struggles of post-punk resonate down to the present.

The gods Have fallen. There is no more Intimacy, Only internet Personas Created to hide Who we really are. There is no more Thought and memory, Only what we see On yesterday’s Instagram photo. “I read it from Google.” Ian Skrivseth loves inspiring others to think more, feel more, love more, laugh more, and even to be angry or sad more if need be. In a debut collection of poems, Skrivseth explores what it means to be human while reminding us that no matter what our place in life, that we all have flaws and feel a variety of emotions like love, hate, and pain. While relying on myths like Orpheus, Hades, and Sisyphus for inspiration, Skrivseth reflects on a variety of themes and subjects such as heartache, passion, love, falling stars, sins, and the graveyard of the gods where there is no more intimacy, only internet personas. Graveyard of the Gods shares poetry that leads others on an introspective journey through one man’s heart as he interweaves inspiration from stories with real-life experiences.
