The Road Beneath My FeetFrank TurnerTaschenbuchBroschiertes Buch The Sunday Times Bestseller Featuring an exclusive new chapter On 23 September, 2005, at the Joiners Arms in Southampton, Frank Turner played his last gig with his hardcore band, Million Dead. On the laminates that listed the tour dates, the entry for 24 September simply read: ' Get a job. ' Deflated, jaded and hungover, Frank returned to his hometown of Winchester without a plan for the future. All he knew was that he wanted to keep playing music. Cut to 13 April 2012, over a thousand shows later (show 1, 216 to be precise), and he was headlining a sold-out gig at Wembley Arena with his band The Sleeping Souls. Told through his tour reminiscences, this is the blisteringly honest story of Frank's career from drug-fuelled house parties and the grimy club scene to filling out arenas, fans roaring every word back at him. But more than that, it is an intimate account of what it's like to spend your life constantly on the road, sleeping on floors, invariably jetlagged, all for the love of playing live music. |
Smash!: Green Day, The Offspring, Bad Religion, NOFX, and the '90s Punk ExplosionIan WinwoodGebundene AusgabeA group biography of '90s punk rock told through the prism of Green Day, The Offspring, N O F X, Rancid, Bad Religion, Social Distortion, and more Two decades after the Sex Pistols and the Ramones birthed punk music into the world, their artistic heirs burst onto the scene and changed the genre forever. While the punk originators remained underground favorites and were slow burns commercially, their heirs shattered commercial expectations for the genre. In 1994, Green Day and The Offspring each released their third albums, and the results were astounding. Green Day's Dookie went on to sell more than 15 million copies and The Offspring's Smash remains the all-time bestselling album released on an independent label. The times had changed, and so had the music. While many books, articles, and documentaries focus on the rise of punk in the '70s, few spend any substantial time on its resurgence in the '90s. Smash! is the first to do so, detailing the circumstances surrounding the shift in '90s music culture away from grunge and legitimizing what many first-generation punks regard as post-punk, new wave, and generally anything but true punk music. With astounding access to all the key players of the time, including members of Green Day, The Offspring, N O F X, Rancid, Bad Religion, Social Distortion, and many others, renowned music writer Ian Winwood at last gives this significant, substantive, and compelling story its due. Punk rock bands were never truly successful or indeed truly famous, and that was that-until it wasn't. Smash! is the story of how the underdogs finally won and forever altered the landscape of mainstream music. |
Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground, 1981-1991Michael AzerradTaschenbuchFinally in paperback, the story of the musical revolution that happened right under the nose of the Reagan Eighties - when a small but sprawling network of bands, labels, fanzines, radio stations and other subversives re-energised American rock with punk rock's d-I-y credo and created music that was deeply personal, often brilliant, always challenging and immensely influential. O U R B A N D C O U L D B E Y O U R L I F E is a sweeping chronicle of music, politics, drugs, fear, loathing and faith that is already being recognized as an indie rock classic in its own right. Among the legendary bands featured are: Black Flag, the Minutement, Mission of Burma, Minor Threat, Husker Du, the Replacements, Sonic Youth, Butthole Surfers, Big Black, Dinosaur Jr. , Fugazi, Mudhoney and Beat Happening. |
Cured: The Tale of Two Imaginary BoysLol TolhurstTaschenbuchCured is a memoir by Lol Tolhurst, a founder member of one of the most revered and successful bands of their generation: The Cure. Lol threads the band's genesis through his suburban schoolboy years with Robert Smith, the iconic leader of the group, and their most successful era of the 1980s. Lol toured the globe many times over, supporting the ground-breaking albums Three Imaginary Boys, Seventeen Seconds, Faith and Pornography, before departing the band in 1989 at the time of their aptly-titled masterwork Disintegration. 2011 saw a momentous reunion tour and Lol performed with his former band mates for the first time in over twenty years. Cured brings an acute eye for the times to bear on a lifelong friendship, with tales of personal addiction, despair, pain, forgiveness and redemption along the way. It is the story of a timeless band and a life truly lived. |

Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, BoysViv AlbertineTaschenbuch'' Ms. Albertine's book is wiry and cogent and fearless. ? Her book has an honest, lo-fi grace. If it were better written, it would be worse. ''-Dwight Garner, The New York Times'' Forget Katniss And Tris - Viv Albertine Is Your New Hero. ''-M T V. com The Rough Trade #1 Book of the Year! Viv Albertine is a pioneer. As lead guitarist and songwriter for the seminal band The Slits, she influenced a future generation of artists including Kurt Cobain and Carrie Brownstein. She formed a band with Sid Vicious and was there the night he met Nancy Spungeon. She tempted Johnny Thunders? toured America with the Clash? dated Mick Jones? and inspired the classic Clash anthem '' Train in Vain. '' But Albertine was no mere muse. In Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys. , Albertine delivers a unique and unfiltered look at a traditionally male-dominated scene. Her story is so much more than a music memoir. Albertine's narrative is nothing less than a fierce correspondence from a life on the fringes of culture. The author recalls rebelling from conformity and patriarchal society ever since her days as an adolescent girl in the same London suburb of Muswell Hill where the Kinks formed. With brash honesty-and an unforgiving memory-Albertine writes of immersing herself into punk culture among the likes of the Sex Pistols and the Buzzcocks. Of her devastation when the Slits broke up and her reinvention as a director and screenwriter. Or abortion, marriage, motherhood, and surviving cancer. Navigating infidelity and negotiating divorce. And launching her recent comeback as a solo artist with her debut album, The Vermilion Border. Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys. is a raw chronicle of music, fashion, love, sex, feminism, and more that connects the early days of punk to the Riot Grrl movement and beyond. But even more profoundly, Viv Albertine's remarkable memoir is the story of an empowered woman staying true to herself and making it on her own |

The Hacienda: How Not to Run a ClubPeter HookTaschenbuchPeter Hook, as co-founder of Joy Division and New Order, has been shaping the course of popular music for thirty years. He provided the propulsive bass guitar melodies of ' Love Will Tear Us Apart' and the bestselling 12-inch single ever, ' Blue Monday' among many other songs. As co-owner of Manchester's Hacienda club, Hook propelled the rise of acid house in the late 1980s, then suffered through its violent fall in the 1990s as gangs, drugs, greed and a hostile police force destroyed everything he and his friends had created. This is his memory of that era and 'it's far sadder, funnier, scarier and stranger' than anyone has imagined. As young and naive musicians, the members of New Order were thrilled when their record label Factory opened a club. Yet as their career escalated, they toured the world and had top ten hits, their royalties were being ploughed into the Hacienda and they were only being paid G B P20 per week. Peter Hook looked back at that exciting and hilarious time to write H A C I E N D A. All the main characters appear - Tony Wilson, Barney, Shaun Ryder - and Hook tells it like it was - a rollercoaster of success, money, confusion and true faith. |
