Nicholas Rombes crafts works steeped in unsettling detail and obscure conspiracies, probing the very limits of the novelistic form. His writing, often drawing comparisons to masters like Bolaño and Ligotti, is described as both beautiful and nightmarish, smart and slyly unsettling. Working out of Detroit, Rombes' unique approach to literature consistently gnaws away at reader expectations. His prose focuses on exploring the darker recesses of the human psyche and uncovering hidden truths within speculative landscapes.
Examines punk as a movement. This book contains descriptions of the sounds, and places those sounds in the context of history. Drawing on many fanzines, magazines, and newspapers, it provides a portrait of the ways in which punk was an expression of defiance. It covers many of the legendary punk bands, as well as the obscure, forgotten ones.
The dumbest band with the dumbest tunes - but still they transcend all other groups as the ground zero of rock, reduced to its crudest essence. This, their first album is a brutal combination of 60s pop and garage punk with adolescent tales of girls and sniffing glue.
