Forsa Studio, utanför Hudiksvall, var under ett tiotal år ett sällan skådat musikaliskt nav i Norrland. Punkband som Missbrukarna, Totalitär, Traste & Superstararna och Dagens Ungdom spelades flitigt i radioprogrammet Ny våg. Studion var också startpunkten för den folkrock och postpunk som kom att dominera 90-talet med namn som Perssons Pack, Sigge Hill, Traste Lindéns Kvintett, The Bangsters och Brainbombs. Denna bok och dubbel-CD täcker de viktiga åren 1978-89 och är fylld med outgivna pärlor, upphittade under 5 års restaurering av studions mer än 600 rullband. Med skivorna finns en 72 sidors historik om studion och banden och många aldrig tidigare publicerade bilder från den allt för okända delen av punkrörelsen i Hälsingland och det som kom sen.
