At this point, Dr. Martens—Docs, DMs, whatever you want to call them—have been around for 74 years. And, for almost all of that time, in one way or another, they’ve been inextricably entwined with alternative music—and, of course, the subcultures which that music has spawned.

The other school of thought was that the ’80s were a hotbed for creativity. Forget the songs that you were playing when your mom met your dad. How about the […]

Comparison quizzes seem to be all the rage on the internet these days, but we’ve yet to see a ’90s quiz that includes all of the four basic food groups: ska punk, nü metal, alternative rock and pop culture. And we don’t care that you’re more of a Chandler than a Phoebe.  Are you ready? […]

Unknown Pleasures, the gloriously bleak debut album by Manchester post-punk band Joy Division arrived exactly one month before lead singer Ian Curtis’ 23rd birthday and 11 months before he would hang himself by the neck and die. June 15, 1979. 40 years ago. Curtis would see a small amount of positive critical reception and modest […]
