Blunt: A Biased History of Australian Rock is a messy, honest slice of Australian music history. A collection of tales from a time when anyone could start a band, play a few nights at a dirty hotel and stagger home with a smile. From when fanzines were typed up, photocopied and stapled together and nobody cared about spelling mistakes. When bands recorded in living rooms, sold tapes at the door, no bullshit social media, just true grit. Bob Blunt is more than a fan. He called people up, recorded interviews, got their history, the nitty-gritty stuff that shaped their musical lives. A rare book that categorises Aussie rock music from the 70s and 80s and doesn't shy away from the real stories.
