International Pop Overthrow (Revised Edition): A Celebratory Ode to the Golden Triangle of Power Pop - Material Issue

By Jim Hoffmann

This is the ALL-IN-ONE Revised Edition and includes the non-fiction, International Pop Overthrow (told backwards), but loaded with additional material including Part II of the Ted Ansani and Mike Zelenko interviews, a timeline, and song titles chart. This is THE prime source for all Ishers - thirsting for that last drop of knowledge about a Power Pop band that led the charge for all Indie bands out of the desolate 1980s and into the rambunctious, and fruitful early 1990s. Where would rock and roll be without Material Issue? Rock music in the 1980s was quickly leading to less and less traditional sounding rock and roll. In 1991, Material Issue - Ted Ansani, Jim Ellison, and Mike Zelenko - saved the maiden music, bound and gagged on the railroad tracks of hell, from defilement and mediocrity. Their sword was their Indie demo-cum big label Mercury debut album, International Pop Overthrow. After its explosive release, rock music was never the same; and these pioneer artists, perhaps Hall of Fame bound, are now forever known as the Golden Triangle of Power Pop. But their journey was no picnic. All gave some. Material Issue gave all. Find out how.
