This book is your gateway to the oasis of Britain's music in the 90s.

A Field Guide to ... delves into music's most influential genres to uncover the innovators and agitators who changed music history forever.

In A Field Guide to Britpop, Steve Wide explores a scene fueled by north-south rivalries, tribal fashion, and a good cup of tea. Uncover the artists and albums, the who's who, and hangabouts that defined the era.
