This was an interesting account of 13 influential bands from the American 80's underground. I appreciated that it tackled a few of the underlying causes surrounding the rise of independent music and I think one of the strongest parts of the book was the way it showed the development of an infrastructure on which indie music continues to build even today. I found it more interesting to learn about the creation of touring circuits by Black Flag and others as well as the labels that promoted these acts than it was to learn about the bands themselves. Ultimately, it left me wondering what the next wave of true independent music will look like. So much has changed in distribution and marketing since the 80's and "indie" has really become a marketable buzz word. I find myself dissatisfied with the culture as of late and almost wish that there was some sort of alternative alternative. At any rate, I'm fascinated by the idea of these bands each finding ways to live on the margins of society in different ways. The writing in the book is often strong, but I think comparatively the book comes off as less engaging than Rip It Up And Start Again, which was a wonderful account of post-punk music in Europe and the US. The latter really makes it a discussion of ideas driving a movement and how those ideas mutate and warp overtime through backlashes and disillusionment. Our Band certainly discusses some of the ideas driving the movement, but I think it often fails to draw parallels between bands in meaningful ways. It also stays more narrowly focused on fewer bands and fewer overall scenes, so the breadth is sometimes lacking. Often it feels like a collection of mini-biographies rather than an outright comprehensive work. That's not a totally fair assessment, but I think it suffers in comparison to Rip It Up. Still a very worthwhile read if you're interested in punk and its aftermath.
