An account of the English rock band Hawkwind
shows them to be one of the most innovative and culturally significant
bands of the 1970s.

Fifty years on from when it first formed, the
English rock band Hawkwind continues to inspire devotion from fans
around the world. Its influence reaches across the spectrum of
alternative music, from psychedelia, prog, and punk, through industrial,
electronica, and stoner rock. Hawkwind has been variously, if
erroneously, positioned as the heir to both Pink Floyd and the Velvet
Underground, and as Britain's answer to the Grateful Dead and Krautrock.
It has defined a genre—space rock—while operating on a frequency that's
uniquely its own.

Hawkwind offered a form of radical escapism and
an alternative account of a strange new world for a generation of young
people growing up on a planet that seemed to be teetering on the brink
of destruction, under threat from economic meltdown, industrial unrest,
and political polarization. While other commentators confidently
asserted that the countercultural experiment of the 1960s was over,
Hawkwind took the underground to the provinces and beyond.

In Days of the Underground,
Joe Banks repositions Hawkwind as one of the most innovative and
culturally significant bands of the 1970s. It's not an easy task. As
with many bands of this era, a lazy narrative has built up around
Hawkwind that doesn't do justice to the breadth of its ambition and
achievements. Banks gives the lie to the popular perception of Hawkwind
as one long lysergic soap opera; with Days of the Underground, he shows us just how revolutionary Hawkwind was.
