{"product_id":"9781621067665","title":"Out of the Basement: From Cheap Trick to DIY Punk in Rockford, IL, 1973-2005","description":"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOut of the Basement\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of underground music (and mainstream rock that sometimes rose out of it) in post-industrial Rockford, Illinois. This is a bracing, candid, democratic, and cutting edge portrayal of a rust belt city full of rebel kids making DIY music despite the odds. It combines oral history, brutally honest memoir, music history, and a sense of blunt poetics to capture the ethos of life in the 1970s-2000s, long before the Internet made punk accessible to small towners. From dusty used record stores and frenetic skating rinks to dank basements and sweat-piled gigs to the radical forebears like the local IWW chapter, the book follows the stories of rebels struggling to find spaces and a sense of community and their place in underground history.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Microcosm Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031678435568,"sku":"9781621067665","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781621067665_p0.jpg?v=1763859718","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781621067665","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
