Description
Rock 'n' Roll's Kings of the North: A Canadian Perspective Part one of a definitive biography, Anthem: Rush in the '70s, offers a detailed portrait of the band's early years, from their self-titled debut to 1978's Hemispheres. This book presents Rush as generators of incendiary, groundbreaking rock 'n' roll, and celebrates the perseverance of the band's members, Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart, as they maintained their values and operated from a Canadian base. With extensive, firsthand reflections from the band members and others close to them, Anthem provides a pointed and detailed look at the band's catalog and its place in both Canadian and general pop culture. The book also explores the band's early struggles and their eventual worldwide success, despite being dismissed as the Led Zeppelin of the north. This book is the first of three volumes in a series, and it marks the beginning of a fascinating story about three men who maintained their values and created incendiary rock 'n' roll.
