With his critically acclaimed Rip It Up and Start Again, renowned music journalist Simon Reynolds applied a unique understanding to an entire generation of musicians working in the wake of punk rock. Spawning artists as singular as Talking Heads, Joy Division, The Specials, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Gang of Four, and Devo, postpunk achieved new relevance in the first decade of the twenty-first century through its profound influence on bands such as Radiohead, Franz Ferdinand, and Vampire Weekend.
With Totally Wired the conversation continues. The book features thirty-two interviews with postpunk’s most innovative personalities—such as Ari Up, Jah Wobble, David Byrne, and Lydia Lunch—alongside an “overview” section of further reflections from Reynolds on postpunk’s key icons and crucial scenes. Included among them are John Lydon and PIL, Ian Curtis and Joy Division, and art-school conceptualists and proto-postpunkers Brian Eno and Malcolm McLaren. Reynolds follows these exceptional, often eccentric characters from their beginnings through the highs and lows of postpunk’s heyday.
Crackling with argument and anecdote, Totally Wired paints a vivid portrait of individuals struggling against the odds to make their world as interesting as possible, in the process leaving a legacy of artistic ambition and provocation that reverberates to this day.

    ‘Blue Monday’ is seen as the archetype, but the first song of the modern movement is two singles before that: ‘Everything’s Gone Green’, produced by Martin Hannett. And Bernard, who is a genius, absorbed everything he saw Martin and Steven doing - because Steven wasn’t just the drummer, he was doing all the techy stuff . .

    I know the band hated Unknown Pleasures. And if they’d had their way - this is why musicians should be shot - it would never have been released.

    What insight can you give me into Martin Hannett’s contribution? Steve Morris told me the band were dissatisfied with everything he did!
    Yes. But two of the greatest albums in history! So fuck ’em! Martin was a svengali.
