This is a bracing, candid, democratic, and cutting edge portrayal of a rust belt city full of rebel kids making DIY music despite the odds. It combines oral history, brutally honest memoir, music history, and a sense of blunt poetics to capture the ethos of life in the 1970s-2000s, long before the Internet made punk accessible to small towners. From dusty used record stores and frenetic skating rinks to dank basements and sweat-piled gigs to the radical forebears like the local IWW chapter, the book follows the stories of rebels struggling to find spaces and a sense of community and their place in underground history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Microcosm Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45411939975319,"sku":"9781621067665","price":568.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781621067665.webp?v=1767106227","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/out-of-the-basement-from-cheap-trick-to-diy-punk-in-rockford-il-1973-2005-9781621067665","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
