No Way Back brings together long-lost music and subculture journalism, images and perspectives, from 1977 to 1989. It sources from titles ranging from Village Voice and New Statesman to Smash Hits and Sounds. This is journalism that lets us read about culture in its rawest form. In-the-moment and before endless layers of post-rationalisation have kicked in. Breakthrough events in dance music, hip-hop and pop – and parallel shifts in art, design and fashion. Inspirational, ground-level creativity and enterprise that set the scene(s) for subsequent decades.
