Abstract:
"Journalist, musician, and Monctonian Jason Murray follows the rise of the band that put the Maritimes on the map. Eric's Trip was a band defined as much by its DIY ethos as its low-fi, discordant music. The four-piece formed in an early-'90s Moncton basement and in a few short years, went from recording themselves on a four-track and selling cassettes at local record stores to signing on Seattle's Sub Pop records, opening for Sonic Youth, and touring internationally. Twenty years after the band's breakup in 1996, A Distorted Revolution is the ultimate nostalgia trip. Through personal recollections, interviews with band members and others integral to the early 90s scene, this book offers a rare glimpse inside the band's formation, success, and ultimate unravelling. Includes over 20 images.
