À propos de cet audio
A group biography of '90s punk rock told through the prism of Green Day, The Offspring, NOFX, Rancid, Bad Religion, Social Distortion, and more.
Two decades after the Sex Pistols and the Ramones birthed punk music into the world, their artistic heirs burst onto the scene and changed the genre forever. While the punk originators remained underground favorites and were slow burns commercially, their heirs shattered commercial expectations for the genre. In 1994, Green Day and The Offspring each released their third albums, and the results were astounding. Green Day's Dookie went on to sell more than 15 million copies and The Offspring's Smash remains the all-time best-selling album released on an independent label. The times had changed, and so had the music.
While many books, articles, and documentaries focus on the rise of punk in the '70s, few spend any substantial time on its resurgence in the '90s. Smash! will be the first to do so, detailing the circumstances surrounding the shift in '90s music culture away from grunge and legitimizing what many first-generation punks regard as post-punk, new wave, and generally anything but true punk music.
With astounding access to all the key players of the time, including members of Green Day, The Offspring, NOFX, Rancid, Bad Religion, Social Distortion, and many others, renowned music writer Ian Winwood at last gives this significant, substantive, and compelling story its due. Punk rock bands were never truly successful or indeed truly famous, and that was that - until it wasn't. Smash! is the story of how the underdogs finally won and forever altered the landscape of mainstream music.

Great for nerdy punks.
If you were a punk in the mid-90s this is a great nostalgia trip.
Glaring omission from the book: women! They are barely mentioned at all. Most of the interviews and stories are about dudes (and, like, pretty much all white dudes). I love Green Day as much as the next, but it’s really weird that women are absent from the author’s view of punk in the mid-90s.

Just to be clear, this book is about Green Day
The title is a bit deceiving because the vast majority of the story in this book is about Green Day with the other bands in the title as supporting characters. I guess it really follows how the Punk Explosion of '94 went!
The voice actor is atrocious, very dry voice that doesn't really fit the material. In the chapter about NOFX he also mispronounces their album title repeatedly.

This book sucks a load. The author gets to me too. Some parts of the content are just ok.

Would never recommend
I’m going to put it blunt, this book is trash. If I wanted to listen to a bunch of whiny emo bullshit from Green Day I would buy a Green Day book. Massively disappointed with the purchase
