this book is by no means a complete history of the American Indian movement. From 1981 to 1991 it pays particular attention to the SST discord, touch and go and sub pop record labels. But those are far from the only labels that made the revolution happen. There was also slash Tang Frontier, Posh Boy Coyote Alternative Tentacles, Danger House, Barn on Pitch, a Tent Wax Trax and countless others. It would have been impossible to write about all of them. The same could be said for the house organs of Thie indie scene, the Fanzines. Most of them started his photocopied rants by people who were frustrated at the way the mainstream music magazines largely ignored this exciting new music. Some of them grew quite large and influential, including flipside, maximum rock and roll and forced exposure. But there were literally hundreds of smaller zines that collectively framed thie indie aesthetic. And, of course, the American independent scene in the eighties contained many, many bands from those that made a mark on the national stage. Two bands that began obscure and stayed that way, sometimes by design, many of the band's known only to a very few are personal favourites. It was a matter of either excluding them or turn in this book into an encyclopaedia. My humblest apologies to those bands on their fans. There are plenty more books to be written about this subject. I invite you to write one of them.
