    A 216 page paperback book documenting the history of the fanzine Rhubarb Bomb and its place within a wider DIY / zine landscape - including it's creation of Long Division Festival. Contains original articles and newly created material showing the progression of the bands in the city from 2007 - 2012 plus major events and live events. Includes interviews with Mark E Smith, David Gedge, Emma Pollock (The Delgados). Luke Haines, Malcolm Middleton and Russell Senior (Pulp)

    "I can see this book providing inspiration and even guidance not just for fanzine editors and writers working (for free!) in the cultural margins, but also musicians and other artists who have a song to sing or a tale to tell that doesn't chime with the commercial mainstream for years to come" - Vibrations Magazine.

    *Original copies of the book came with a CD compilation album. We no longer have the means to burn CDs, but purchase includes immediate download of the album.

about

Lapels were a special band to a lot of people, none more than former Rhubarb Bomb editor Rob Dee, for whom this is his personal choice. Rob left Rhubarb Bomb to form Philophobia Music, home to a lot of the bands here. His first release was the debut single by Lapels. The song featured here is one of their earliest demos and is a track that appeared on their first EP. It’s a ragtag recording that gives hints of the antagonistic but charming approach to songwriting that made the band standout; a mix of pop structures and bizarre alt-universe storytelling. Upon the bands split, singer Tim went on to form St Gregory Orange whilst the majority of the rest of the band became IMP.
