Postcards from Scotland is the first of a two volume oral history of the Scottish indie music scene from 1983 up until recent times from the director of the Glasgow Indie Music documentary, Teenage Superstars.
By 1983, many of Scotland's post-punk bands had broken up or moved south to chase the major labels in London. That vacuum was filled by an influx of young musicians who were determined to remake the scene in their own image.
In this compelling and dynamic oral history, Grant McPhee chronicles the radical transformation of Scotland's independent music scene from 1983-1995.
Including archival photos and drawing from over 100 interviews with the key players of the time, Grant McPhee allows them to set the scene in their own words; including the Cocteau Twins, Shop Assistants, Teenage Fanclub, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream and many more.
Postcards from Scotland is the definitive story of the radicals, misfits and experimentalists who made independent music what it is today.
