Playing bass for Calgary punk-rock quartet the Hot Nasties might seem a strange way for one of Canada's top political strategists to have spent his formative years, but in Fury's Hour -- Warren Kinsella's exploration of punk's history and heroes, its factions, failures and triumphs -- he shares his unique view into a subculture that has long encouraged people to think big about the world.
From early meetings with icons Joey Ramone and Joe Strummer, Kinsella has gone on to interview a who's who of punk: Sex Pistols Johnny Rotten and Glen Matlock, Fugazi's Ian MacKaye, Billy Idol, DOA's Joey "Shithead" Keithly, Bad Religion's Brett Gurewitz, Blink 182, Good Charlotte and many more. Since he was a teenager, Kinsella has challenged his heroes to put into words the true value of the music. How, after decades of co-optation by the record industry, neo-Nazis and misdirected radicals, are new generations continuing what he calls punk's "search for the real"?
In Fury's Hour , with the iconoclasm and passion that have marked his career in politics, Warren Kinsella searches for the soul of a sound that invigorated the way he and millions of others have grown up -- finding a way to turn anger into energy.
