Description
The Progressive Underground Volume Four by Kev Rowland The progressive rock scene has often been misunderstood, with many assuming it disappeared with the rise of punk. However, the lack of media coverage actually drove it underground, where it continued to thrive through word of mouth and independent publications. One of the most influential fanzines of this era was Feedback, which initially started as the newsletter of a Mensa group in 1988. Under the editorship of Kev Rowland, it evolved into a magazine promoting music that was often overlooked by the mainstream press. Feedback played a crucial role in promoting the underground progressive scene, and Kev Rowland became a well-known reviewer and contributor to other publications. The magazine's impact was significant, and it continues to be celebrated for its part in shaping the scene. This book is a testament to the enduring legacy of Feedback and the progressive rock movement. With the advent of the internet, the way people discovered new music and bands changed forever. Feedback's 30th anniversary is a testament to the power of independent publications in shaping the music scene.
