In 1982, K Records released its first cassette and put its own spin on punk's defiant manifesto: You don't need anyone's permission to make music. In its history, K Records has fostered some of independent music's greatest artists, including Beck, Modest Mouse and the Gossip. This book tells the story of how it all happened.
Punk isn't a sound, it's an idea! In 1982, K Records released its first cassette and put its own spin on punk's defiant manifesto: You don't need anyone's permission to make music. Thirty years later, the label continues to operate in the underground while rightfully claiming a role as one of the most transformative engines of modern independent music. In its history, K Records has fostered some of independent music's greatest artists, including Beck, Modest Mouse and the Gossip. It has also galvanised the international pop underground, helped create the grunge scene that took over pop culture and provided a launch pad for the riot grrrl movement that changed the role of women in music forever. "Love Rock Revolution" tells the story of how it all happened, recounting the early journeys of K Records founder Calvin Johnson from the punk mecca of London to the hardcore clubs of Washington, D.C., in the late-'70s, the creation of K Records in the '80s, the label's role in revolutionising independent music in the '90s and its struggle to survive that revolution with its integrity intact.
