Product Details
Overview
A vibrant oral history chronicling Scotland's transformative indie music scene at the turn of the millennium—including Mogwai, Belle & Sebastian, Primal Scream and Teenage Fanclub.
“If it’s not Scottish, it’s crap! Okay, maybe not. But still, this oral history makes a compelling case that indie Scot acts like the Jesus and Mary Chain boast a singular sound.” — Washington Independent Review of Books
In the early nineties, Scottish independent music was suffering from an identity crisis...
Dance and rave music dominated the charts, and labels like 53rd & 3rd and Narodnik had collapsed. As bands like Oasis and Blur gained prominence in London and Manchester, Scotland’s music scene was forced to evolve; new labels were created, new musical directions were forged and a worthy opposition to Britpop was born.
Scene Within a Scene is the fascinating history of this transformative era in music. It centres upon a group of visionary bands who altered the trajectory of the Scottish indie scene, giving it a revived sense of purpose and power.
Featuring over 100 first-person interviews with the musicians, labels, journalists, scenesters and promoters central to this era, McPhee picks up where 2024’s acclaimed Postcards From Scotland left off, bringing this engaging oral history to its modern conclusion.
