More than 60 profiles and interviews, taken from the pages of the acclaimed independent music magazine \u003ci\u003ePuncture\u003c\/i\u003e and illustrated with many rare photographs, cover all the major contributors to a lastingly influential musical movement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e It's impossible to determine a single starting point for indie rock, but here it is found in the scintillating psychodramas Kristin Hersch conjured up for Throwing Muses and the deadpan, genre-busting, proto-slacker anthems of Camper Van Beethoven, and followed through to the critical triumphs of Sleater-Kinney and Neutral Milk Hotel more than a decade later. Along the way, it takes in such pioneering artists as P.J. Harvey, Sonic Youth, the Pixies, Bikini Kill, Nick Cave, Beck, Cat Power, Fugazi, Mekons, Pavement, Belle \u0026amp; Sebastian, Meat Puppets, My Bloody Valentine, Sebadoh, the Breeders, Jeff Buckley, Guided by Voices, Will Oldham, Hole, Flaming Lips, the Magnetic Fields, and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKatherine Spielmann\u003c\/b\u003e founded \u003ci\u003ePuncture\u003c\/i\u003e in 1982, together with Patty Stirling, and she was the magazine's editor and publisher during its 18-year history. \u003cb\u003eSteve Connell\u003c\/b\u003e was the managing editor of \u003ci\u003ePuncture\u003c\/i\u003e from 1984 to 2000.
