Summary

"Now Is the Time to Invent! Offers a definitive portrait of the vibrant indie-rock scene that emerged in the mid-1980s and reached its peak in the '90s. Taken from the pages of the acclaimed independent music magazine Puncture and illustrated with many rare photographs, this extensive collection of interviews, profiles, and record reviews features more than forty of the principal contributors to an exceptionally creative period in modrn music. From indie rock's origins in the early work of such bands as Throwing Muses and Camper Van Beethoven, to the critical triumphs of Sleater-Kinney, Neutral Milk Hotel, Pavement, Belle and Sebastian, and more, Puncture's writers and photographers documented the growth of a rich and varied body of music, often made with minimual resources--and always with maximal inventiveness--by artists who resisted the lure of the mainstream in pursuit of a sound of their own"--Back cover
