After ten years covering independent music, webzine Scene Point Blank commemorates its first decade by publishing this, its first collection of music writing.
Made up of interviews with figures ranging from the legendary (Ian Mackaye, Henry Rollins) through to the new blood (Frank Turner, Polar Bear Club) and everyone in between, it also features a collection of the most memorable album reviews in the zine's history (including PJ Harvey, Jimmy Cliff, Public Enemy and Sufjan Stevens).
A lot of music is made in a decade: Scene Point Blank highlights what you need to hear – now.
"All Downhill From Here marks a decade of SPB's quality music writing, covering everything from hairstyles to rioting. Well-chosen contributors and smart writing."– Matt Andrews (Scene Point Blank)
