THE BOOK:
This anthology is a selection of articles published in the fanzine Nineteen (named in homage to a title of the Dogs) which, in the years 80 (1982-1988), echoed this effervescence rock 'n roll that was not recognized in the new wave or in the big cavalry of the charts. Simple shooting stars or essential references, they make that rock is not reduced to a simple "compensation for a lack of living" or a consumption of manufactured products for young people.
As a bonus, a history of the newspaper and its "will", sent at the time only to subscribers, which shed light on the context in which the articles were written.
