THE BOOK.
SURVIVORS – 45 Years of The Astronauts by Marcus Blakeston
Formed in the summer of 1977, The Astronauts have been lurking in the shadows of the British underground music scene ever since, criminally underrated and ignored by most despite their extensive back catalogue of albums and singles – each one a bona fide classic in its own genre-defying way.
SURVIVORS – 45 Years of The Astronauts by Marcus Blakeston
Formed in the summer of 1977, The Astronauts have been lurking in the shadows of the British underground music scene ever since, criminally underrated and ignored by most despite their extensive back catalogue of albums and singles – each one a bona fide classic in its own genre-defying way.
With extensive input from frontman and songsmith Mark Astronaut, along with many of the musicians who have played alongside him over the years in both The Astronauts and his various other musical ventures, this is the story of how it all came about – from the bedrooms of 1970s Welwyn Garden City to the 2020 national lockdown.
464 pages, illustrated throughout with photographs, flyers, fanzine articles, reviews, etc.
Publishing date 6 December 2021.

S*M*A*S*H

When S*M*A*S*H summoned the spit and snarl of classic British punk in the early ’90s, the U.K press labeled them as part of “the New Wave of the New Wave,” a nonexistent movement that the British weeklies used to describe young acts resurrecting the sounds of the late-’70s and early-’80s underground scene in England.
