Formed in Toronto, Ontario, in 1968 under
the heavy influence of British blues, Rush solidified its lineup in 1974
and has gone on to record 18 studio albums (and counting). Notable for
bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee’s high register, Neil Peart’s virtuosic
drumming and inventive lyrics, and the guitar heroics of Alex Lifeson,
the multiplatinum band melds a diverse range of influences and along the
way has amassed a large, notably loyal following worldwide. Rush is
bigger than ever before with the hit 2011 documentary Beyond the Lighted Stage and this year’s new album, Clockwork Angels, and tour.
Now,
for the first time, Rush is treated to the epic visual celebration they
so richly deserve in a beautifully designed and profusely illustrated
history following the band’s entire career. A chronological overview
history written by noted music scribe and Rush authority Martin Popoff
spans the band’s entire career from 1968 to today. A complete Rush
discography chronicles all their albums, from the debut album to 2112, Moving Pictures, and Signals to Grace Under Pressure, Vapor Trails,
and more. The authoritative text is complemented by album reviews
written by well-known music journalists from around the globe,
commentary from fellow musicians, a discography, and hundreds of
photographs and pieces of memorabilia, including picture sleeves, gig
posters, rare vinyl, handbills, ticket stubs, and much more.
