A travel guide portion lists some hot local spots to check out, mostly (but not exclusively) related to the music scene. This is followed by a suggested album list of bands from that location, giving detailed explanations for why each album is essential. For each location, Simon starts with the history of the local music scene, focusing on the bands that contributed to the punk-rock or emo genres. From Seattle to New York, and even Lawrence, Kansas, author Leslie Simon goes into depth for each music scene and informs us why we should be interested. Summary: After reading this book, you’ll feel as though you took a whirlwind musical tour through eleven spots spread throughout the US.
