Description

The Progressive Underground Volume One by Kev Rowland is a comprehensive look at the underground progressive rock scene in the late 20th century. During this time, the genre was largely overlooked by mainstream media, and it was up to fanzines and independent magazines like Feedback to spread the word about new bands and releases. Feedback, which initially started as the newsletter of Mensa's Rock Music Special Interest Group, played a crucial role in promoting the underground progressive scene. Under the editorship of Kev Rowland, who became secretary in 1990, the magazine turned into a key promoter of the genre, featuring reviews and coverage of bands that were often overlooked by the mainstream press. This book is a fascinating look at the history of the underground progressive rock scene, and how it continued to thrive despite the lack of media support.
