Beschreibung

"This book explores the album Kèulmale maale ("To The Cold Land") by J.M.K.E. - the most legendary punk rock band in Estonia - concentrating on the meaning of the album in different sociocultural contexts from its release to today. In 35 years, the album has not lost its relevance: It was nominated for best pop music album of Estonia in 2014 and is listened to by all generations of punks. The story of J.M.K.E. illustrates the subcultural organization not only in Estonia but in the Soviet Union broadly, where pop music and the existence of subculture was censored for 50 years"--
