Nick Crossley is Professor of Sociology at the University of Manchester
In sum, Networks of Sound, Style and Subversion can be appreciated
on a number of different levels: as a case study of
micro-mobilisation, as a demonstration of the explanatory powers of
social network analysis, and as an account of 1970s punk and
post-punk that breathes new life into a well worn subject.
'This book should appeal ultimately not just to scholars of punk or
post-punk, but also to anyone interested in the process through
which musical styles emerge.'
Brian F. Wright, Fairmont State University, Quarterly Journal of
the Music Library Association, June 2016
‘This is the most recent contribution to punk scholarship and in
many ways one of the most sophisticated, both in terms of empirical
research and data analysis.’

History”: Recent Writing on British Punk’, Contemporary European
History, pp. 1–15
