Smash! : Green Day, The Offspring, Bad Religion, NOFX, and the '90s Punk Explosion
90s Punk Explosion - Book - by Ian Winwood
Two
decades after the Sex Pistols and the Ramones birthed punk music into
the world, their artistic heirs burst onto the scene and changed the
genre forever. While the punk originators remained underground favorites
and were slow burns commercially, their heirs shattered commercial
expectations for the genre. In 1994, Green Day and The Offspring each
released their third albums, and the results were astounding.
Green
Day's Dookie went on to sell more than 15 million copies and The
Offspring's Smash remains the all-time bestselling album released on an
independent label. The times had changed, and so had the music.While
many books, articles, and documentaries focus on the rise of punk in the
'70s, few spend any substantial time on its resurgence in the '90s.
Smash! will be the first to do so, detailing the circumstances
surrounding the shift in '90s music culture away from grunge and
legitimizing what many first-generation punks regard as post-punk, new
wave, and generally anything but true punk music.
With
astounding access to all the key players of the time, including members
of Green Day, The Offspring, NOFX, Rancid, Bad Religion, Social
Distortion, and many others, renowned music writer Ian Winwood will at
last give this significant, substantive, and compelling story its due.
Punk rock bands were never truly successful or indeed truly famous, and
that was that--until it wasn't. Smash! is the story of how the underdogs
finally won and forever altered the landscape of mainstream music.
