SynopsisThis book tells the story of the iconic band formed by Howard Devoto when he left the Buzzcocks. This revised and updated edition brings the story bang up-to-date.Already tired of the thrash and unrelenting nature of punk rock, Devoto wanted to combine the elements of avant-garde and pop. This he did with 'Shot by Both Sides', 'the best rock & roll record of 1978, punk or otherwise' (Rolling Stone) followed by their first album Real Life. Three more equally acclaimed albums followed before Magazine disbanded. With unique access to the band and interviews with the great and the good of the 1980s and iconic musicians of today, Helen Chase presents a riveting insight into the world of punk and beyond. Placing the band in the context of the Manchester music scene she explains why the band has such a solid fan-base and why Magazine had decided to re-form for live gigs some 30 years since they first took to the stage. Magazine are a greatly respected and hugely influential band and their music remains fresh and relevant today., This book tells the story of the band Magazine formed by Howard Devoto when he left the Buzzcocks. This revised and updated edition brings the story bang up-to-date. With unique access and interviews with iconic musicians of the 1980s and today, Helen Chase presents a riveting insight into the world of punk and beyond.
