About this listen

With only a guitar, a tatty copy of the Melody Maker, and his template for the perfect band, Andrew Matheson set out in 1971 to make musical history. His band, the Hollywood Brats, were prepunk prophets - uncompromising, ultrathin, wild, untamable, and outrageous. But thrown into the crazy world of the 1970s London music scene, the Brats ultimately fell afoul of the crooks and heavies that ran it and an industry that just wasn't ready for them. Directly inspiring the London SS, the Clash, and the Sex Pistols, the Hollywood Brats imploded too soon to share the glory. Punk's answer to Withnail and I, Sick on You is a startling, funny and brilliantly entertaining period memoir about never quite achieving success despite flying so close to greatness.

The Brats were THAT close to being big. And that is why they call it RnR’ love that it is read by the singer.

If you like rock ‘n’ roll memoirs, and you listened to the five minute sample of this book and enjoyed it, I highly recommend listening to the whole thing. It’s engaging and funny from beginning to end. I loved it. It’s a crime that Andrew Matheson hasn’t put out any other books - his writing is fucking hilarious and he does a great job narrating it - laughing at the ridiculousness of his own life story…

I could go on but you got the idea –
I recommend it!

The funniest audiobook I’ve ever ever listened to.
