Si 1977 a été l’avènement du punk, 1979 verra le paysage musical britannique redessiné et divisé entre diverses sous-cultures. La sortie du film Quadrophenia a consacré la renaissance des mods tandis que le label 2-Tone a propulsé le son ska.

Parallèlement, de nombreux groupes – parmi lesquels Public Image Ltd, Siouxsie And The Banshees, The Fall et Joy Division lanceront le mouvement post-punk. Ils seront rejoints par The Human League et Tubeway Army, qui vont introduire des influences électroniques d’avant-garde dans les charts pop.

1979 s’est avéré être l’année des débuts discographiques de Madness, Echo And The Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes, Pretenders et Dexy’s Midnight Runners.

Tous les groupes susmentionnés sont représentés sur ‘Revolt Into Style‘ aux côtés de joyaux des plus obscurs.
