Moshpit Editor's response
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I am the London-based editor of Moship Culture by Joe Ambrose and I take exception to the comments of your reviewer in Pocatello, Idaho. In the UK, where this book was originated, 'realise' is spelt thus, as is 'organise'; indeed, almost all those verbs that end in -ize in the US end in -ise in the language of the country where it was first written and spoken. 'Quick march' is a common phrase here. Comments like this reflect a deep ignorance of language on the part of this reviewer.
solid, fact driven, written by an obvious fan of the music

The title is doesn't really cover the depth of the contents nor the knowlegeble (sub-culture / music) fan the author comes across as...it is very well written...as are Joe's other books.As one of the "30-something fat gut types" the thread from old skool punk to straight edge to indie to nu-metal was a great nostalgic journey. The descriptions of the surrounding cultural influence to all the music genres is spot on. highly recommended for any lover of live music. in the pit or not.also sports an excelent set of well placed interviews./neil
