Feral House is doing quite daring move on doing this book what will probably cause some outrage. It's expanded edition of self-published "When Storm Rises" book that came out last year.

I'd hope they get couple of still living key members of bands contribute to expanded edition.

December! Oh well, added it into my "Wishlist" just in case I forget about it.

I'm looking forward to hearing the story of the very mysterious English futurist/synth band Final Sound in this book, whose track 'Genetics' was one of the more odd songs alongside Above The Ruins on the No Surrender compilations of the 1980s. A friend's cousin who was a UK skin of the 80s had those. He was snubbed by the National Front for being of Irish origin and retreated to the comfort of the gluebag and unemployablility.

One of the authors is the brother of Sean from Hard Skin and has previously written a biography of Death In June, the other is a veteran UK far right guy. Yes, this book will cause a lot of drama and keyboard crusades on both sides but it's a subculture which hasn't really been written about beyond Nick Lowles's excellent but short White Noise.

I wonder what the slightly overweight (and talented) brother think about his involvement in such a book. Despite being one of my favourite oi bands they have been slagging off several unpc (yet not nazi) bands for "dangerous" friendships.
I am looking forward for this book, yet I hope it won't be only self-incensating and will feature also stuff about the several controversies in the rac scene.

yet I hope it won't be only self-incensating and will feature also stuff about the several controversies in the rac scene.

It is very detailed history of UK scene most of all. I don't know how much USA chapters will add, but original self published book, it was already HUGE. Size similar to Club Moral book. It didn't include interviews with any of the big names of genre, but often looked from perspective of fans, people who were involved, smaller bands etc.  Countless testimonies from people who tell their story, how they got involved, what did they do, etc. Amusing or curious incidents. Original book started from '79, with first RAC titled gigs and ends with ISD's death. Lots of rare gig posters, flyers, photos etc.  In foreword it mentioned that all the key players had promised to take part, but didn't. I'd suppose that after first edition, lots of people are more willing to share stories. But already as it is, it's huge and barely possibilities to expand without book getting out of hand..
That original edition was ltd 300 and sold directly by author.

I was told same people are working with C18 related book. That would be interesting as well.

There is book by Searchligh called "White Power Music: Scenes of Extreme-Right Cultural Resistance". 130 pages. So dry academic studies, that it will be most of all annoying book to read. But perhaps few nuggets of information from opposite angle.

very interesting regarding the book and looking forward for the c18 book as well


whatever comes from searchlight is outright crap. classical exampl of people who need to boost the nazi-scare in order to get fundings.
I still cringe for their article about Misanthropy records where they fabricated from zero the lives and habits of several people by reading a catalogue written on purpose tongue-in-cheek humour.

assume the awaited book was 'white riot-  the story of combat18' by nick knowles

Leewar

That C18 book by Nick Lowles is hilarious mainly due to him blatantly wanting Will browning's cock.
