Book Synopsis
Punk rock evokes dissent and disruption, abrasive and anarchic musicality, and a host of countercultural aesthetics. Featuring interviews and over one hundred images, this volume focuses on how punk merged with roots music to create a rich style that incorporated honky-tonk, rockabilly, doo-wop, reggae, ska, jazz, folk, blues, and labour ballads.

Trade Review
[With] thorough, enticing interviews and incisive commentary, Roots Punk offers an important counternarrative to standard histories of punk." - David Pearson, author of Rebel Music in the Triumphant Empire: Punk Rock in the 1990s United States
