A Country FIT For Heroes and a SCene that wouldn't die

Primarily collecting the stories of over 140 UK punk bands from the eighties who only released EPs and demos, or only appeared on compilation LPs, ‘A Country Fit for Heroes: DIY punk in eighties Britain’ is a celebration of the obscure, a love letter to the UK’s punk underground. 

Ian Glasper’s latest book features lesser known bands including The Mad Are Sane, Act of Defiance, Solvent Abuse, Assassins of Hope, Dead Rose, Brigandage, Mania, Asylum, Chaos, Seventh Plague, Nox Mortis, Devoid, Revulsion, Carnage, Organized Chaos, Disarm, Corpse, Death Sentence, Mass of Black, On Parole, Anorexia, Indian dream, Ethnic Minority, the Syphletix, Post mortem, the Accursed, Leukaemia, Criminal damage, Faction, The Dismembered, Hostile Youth, Life Cycle, Potential Threat, No Defences, Passion Killers, X-Cretas, Pseudo Sadists, Impact, Scorched Earth, Outrage, Sanctuary, Vex, Karma Sutra, Disattack, Political Reform and Vortex.

‘A Country Fit For Heroes’ takes you on a truly deep dive into the volatile subculture of punk to create a more complete historical document of that turbulent time.

Ian Glasper's previous books, 'Silence Is No Reaction: Forty Years of Subhumans', 'The Scene That Would Not Die: Twenty Years of Post-Millenial Punk in the UK', 'Terrorized: The Collected Interviews. Volume One' and 'Terrorized: The Collected Interviews. Volume Two' are all also available from Earth Island Books.
