| book description |

Situating the band and its groundbreaking debut within the context of The Troubles, this book explores the bandâ€™s complicated and controversial relationship with the Belfast punk scene, a scene that actively defied violent social divisions to create important non-sectarian spaces through which an â€œAlternative Ulsterâ€ was imagined and put into practice. Stiff Little Fingersâ€™ 1979 debut album, Inflammable Material, was the first independent album to ever reach the UK Top 20 and is regarded as one of the most influential punk releases of all time, containing the singles â€œSuspect Deviceâ€ and â€œAlternative Ulster.â€ Inflammable Material was both a product of, and response to, The Troubles, the era of political violence in Northern Ireland that claimed more than 3,500 lives over three decades. Though Inflammable Material was regarded as the clarion call for that scene, with anthemic songs now regarded as synonymous with the times, the band was often viewed with suspicion and outright hostility by many of their contemporaries.
