Description
The Rise and Fall of SST Records: A Story of Music and Mayhem SST Records was a label that brought some of the most influential bands of the 1980s to the forefront of the music scene. From Black Flag to Sonic Youth, the label's roster was a who's who of punk and alternative rock. But the story of SST Records is not just one of music - it's also a tale of entrepreneurship, innovation, and the darker side of the music industry. In Corporate Rock Sucks, music journalist Jim Ruland takes readers on a journey through the tumultuous history of SST Records. With never-before-seen interviews with the label's former employees, as well as musicians, managers, producers, and other key figures, Ruland reveals the behind-the-scenes story of how SST Records rose to fame and fell victim to its own success.
