About Me

Independent Music Press was founded in 1992 by author/publisher Martin Roach. I.M.P. publishes high quality first-to-the-market biographies on bands such as Green Day, My Chemical Romance, System of a Down, Johnny Marr, Trivium, The Killers, The Streets, John Lydon, Muse, Foo Fighters, Moby, Travis, Stereophonics, Mick Ronson, Beastie Boys, Oasis, Prodigy and Shaun Ryder. The list is complemented by a passion for re-introducing classic titles, such as David Nolan's / I Swear I Was There and Ian Hunter's Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Star as well as definitive subcultural histories on subjects as scooter boys, skins, bikers and Two Tone. I.M.P. is totally independent and is Europe's most successful alternative music publisher, with sales in 26 countries worldwide, amounting to over 975,000 books sold to date.
