They've had their share of breakups and re-formations, and their story, told in their own words and illustrated with rare photos and memorabilia, reflects both the price and the perks of rock fame.

Author Joel McIver has captured the heroic life and times of Thunder , using their individual recollections to relate a classic rock 'n' roll tale coupled with numerous personal snapshots, showing the band members changing from young hopefuls to the arena starts they are today. With a foreword by Andy Taylor, ex-Duran Duran and Power Station guitarist as well as producer of Backstreet Symphony, Giving The Game Away is the definitive authorised biography of this much-loved British rock band.

Michael Bradley: Teenage Kicks - My Life As An Undertone

Michael Bradley: Teenage Kicks - My Life As An Undertone

In the summer of 1974, Michael Bradley joined his school friend's band in Derry, Northern Ireland. At the time, they had two guitarists and no singer. Four years later, with Bradley providing the driving bass rhythm, The Undertones released 'Teenage Kicks' and were propelled to fame. The fascinating story behind the song, the band and the man are told in Teenage Kicks - My Life As An Undertone . With a punk rock attitude that produced John Peel's favourite record, and one of the most enduring rock songs ever, The Undertones went on to make some poor decisions, great albums, all while having a fantastic time. Breaking up in 1983, Michael became a bicycle courier in Soho, before 1999's reformation brought him back to play bass with the band once again. The story is bitter-sweet, heart-warming and occasionally droll, featuring unlikely success, petty feuds and playful mischief during five years of growing up in the music industry. Always intriguing and told in Bradley 's unique style, Teenage Kicks - My Life As An Undertone is a must-read for any fan of this legendary band.

Steely Dan: Reelin' In The Years

Steely Dan: Reelin' In The Years

Reelin’ In The Years is the acclaimed biography of Steely Dan, now updated to include details of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen’s work up to the very untimely passing of Walter Becker in 2017. The first biography to have been published on Steely Dan, it tells the strange tale of how Becker and Fagen, a couple of cynical New York jazz fans, wormed their way into a record contract and astonished critics with their superb debut, Can’t Buy A Thrill, in 1973. Seven albums later, after Aja had topped charts everywhere, they were among the biggest selling acts in the world. Then they quit, only to reform in 1993 more popular than ever. But Steely Dan were different from the rest of rock’s super-sellers. They rarely gave interviews. After some early bad experiences on the road, they refused to tour. They didn’t have their photographs taken. Few people even knew what they looked like. Steely Dan weren’t even a proper group; it was two musicians and their producer, yet every top-notch player in the world lined up to appear on their albums. They were perfectionists. They were enigmatic. They were very rich. Their music was the coolest around. In Reelin’ In The Years, Brian Sweet, founder of Metal Leg – the now defunct UK based Steely Dan fanzine – draws back the veil of secrecy that has surrounded Becker and Fagen. Here at last is the true story of how they made their music and lived their lives. Includes many photographs and a complete discography.

Dream Baby Dream: Suicide - A New York Story

Dream Baby Dream: Suicide - A New York Story

Dream Baby Dream is the story of Suicide , the most enduring of the influential seventies downtown New York punk explosion. From their anarchic and taboo-busting sound during the early years to their sold out shows in July 2015, the band have reinvented both themselves and entire genres. This is the journey of activist artist Alan Vega and jazz musician Martin Rev, also known as Suicide . As a response to the politics, culture and sheer madness of early seventies New York, the artist Alan Vega came together with musician Martin Rev to create the counter-cultural performance art statement that was Suicide . They had been causing havoc with their infamous live performances for several years before the traditional punk scene launched into full effect. Indeed, they were the first band to self-identify with the term 'punk', using it in some of their earliest posters. In this fascinating biography, written with the close help of Rev and Vega, author Kris Needs offers the first detailed accounts of the band's complete career, taking a tour of their atmospheric genesis in New York to their notoriously violent 1978 European tours, their albums that seems to predate genres that did not yet exist, right up to the present day, showing why Suicide  are considered one of the most influential bands ever. Interviews with other pivotal figures including Peter Crowley, Blondie, James Chance and the New York Dolls make Dream Baby Dream the definitive Suicide  biography. A fascinating delve into how this pioneering band came to prominence, and continued making musical waves even up to the present day, Kris Needs's narrative skilfully blends his depth of knowledge with revealing interviews and some fantastic photography to craft this account of the life and times of a unique musical partnership.
