ESG's Come Away with ESGAuthor(s): Cheri Percy\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, United States\nImprint: Bloomsbury Academic\nISBN-13: 9781501379192, 978-1501379192\nSynopsis\nESG were one of the first bands to sign to British indie label Factory Records, working with famed producer Martin Hannett on their early EPs. The band's signature guitar sound from iconic single UFO has been sampled in hundreds of hip hop records, and everyone from Karen O to Kathleen Hanna lists the South Bronx group as a direct influence. So why do the Scroggins sisters appear as nothing more than a footnote in the 1980s music scene? \n\nThrough interviews with founding member Renee Scroggins, alongside cult-figures from 1980s New York and North England, this book follows the story of a group of sisters who made it out of the New York projects and into the heart of the dancefloor. Come Away With ESG repositions ESG in their rightful place as punk pioneers and explains how their primal.
