Scene Within A Scene: Scottish Independent Music 1992-2001 | Grant McPhee

Grant McPhee's second volume on the Scottish independent music scene looks at the years 1992-2001. If you were expecting a drop in quality from the first volume (Cocteau Twin, The Mary Chain, Primal Scream, etc.), you'd be wrong - as this volume proves once again that Caledonia punches well above its weight when it comes to producing era-defining and influential bands, this time in the shape of Mogwai, Belle and Sebastian, Franz Ferdinand, Arab Strap and many more.

The book takes shape over 100 first-person interviews, which include musicians (including Stuart Murdoch, Stuart Braithwaite, and Aidan Moffat amongst its cast), promoters, journalist and scenesters central to this incredibly fertile era.
