Title: U2 – Wide Awake In America Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1985 Post-Punk Matrix #: 7 90279-1-A Condition: NM
Cultural Facts:
Media Narrative: Mid-80s U2 were already fighting the “messiah band” storyline—earnest politics vs. rock-star suspicion in the press.
Scene Ecology: They came up in a tiny Dublin circuit where punk DIY networks doubled as rehearsal rooms, promoters, and social life.
Political Science: Bono’s cause-driven persona formed early—human-rights messaging became part of the band’s brand, for better and backlash.

★★★★★
This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.
★★★★★
Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
