SCOTLAND, 1983. The key musicians of the country's first wave of post-punk had either disbanded or taken the big gold road south in search of major label deals in London. Into the vacuum came a new generation - rebellious, young musicians determined to reinvent the scene in their own image.
In this compelling and dynamic oral history, POSTCARDS FROM SCOTLAND chronicles the radical transformation of Scotland's independent music scene from 1983-1995. Based on over 100 first-person interviews with the musicians, record labels, venues, promoters, and journalists who shaped the era, Grant McPhee lets the key players tell the story in their own words - including the Cocteau Twins, Shop Assistants, Teenage Fanclub, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream, and many more.
POSTCARDS FROM SCOTLAND is the definitive story of the radicals, misfits and experimentalists who made independent music what it is today.
