Skickas
Boken överraskar och levererar på alla plan, Jan Gradvall Dagens IndustriNär Olle Ljungström gick ur tiden 2016 tystnade Sveriges mest egensinniga artist. Under nästan fyra decennier satte den ljusa och sköra rösten, de träffsäkra formuleringarna och det dekadenta levernet ett outplånligt avtryck i svenskt musikliv. I Jag lät mitt rykte ta min plats följer Fredrik Emdén ett liv i det gränslösa skapandets tjänst, från den tidiga framgången med Reeperbahn, via den kultförklarade solokarriären, till det oväntade breda genombrottet i Så mycket bättre. Resultatet är ett porträtt av en rastlös livsnjutare med en aldrig sinande passion för orden och konsten.*Fredrik Emdén är journalist och författare, bosatt i Visby. Han har skrivit ett tiotal böcker, däribland reportageboken Alltid nästan där – Genom Sverige med Lars Winnerbäck.

'As One is brilliant. Truly, a great examination of a very rare musical event that makes me cherish what Suede have managed to do all the more' Shaun Keaveny'As One documents with great care and exacting detail how Suede restored themselves from the margins' i Paper'An intimate and obsessive book, but one not only for the fans: this is a story about fresh starts and second chances and how to navigate them as an adult' Mariana Enriquez'Rodge has been absolutely brilliant. He's a big fan but not too close. He was very much a fly on the wall' Brett Anderson'The candid biography of Suede we've all been waiting for' Steve LamacqThis year will mark thirty-three years since Suede released their debut eponymous album and sixteen since their glorious and unexpected comeback in 2010.Their two most recent albums - Autofiction in 2022 and Antidepressants in 2025 - both reached number two in the UK charts.Based on exclusive and extensive interviews with the band, their family and friends, As One is an intimate and candid biography of one of the UK’s biggest band’s during the unlikely second act of a career that spans four decades. It is a book that studies the band from close up and afar, written by award-winning author Rodge Glass, who has been granted unprecedented access to the members at home, on stage, backstage, in the studio, rehearsing and promoting over the past three years.It is an honest, long-term interrogation of what it is really like to be in Suede. The book asks difficult questions about how great bands survive and thrive over time, many years after their first flush of success. How do you build back up from nothing? How do you reconnect with your audience, while avoiding simply rehashing old ideas? How do relationships in a band change with time? How do you remake Suede?

"THE BEST ROCK BOOK OF THE YEAR" ***** - THE TELEGRAPH“The book Jeff deserves. It’s honest, thoughtful, and true” - JOHNNY DEPP"Fine, fine work … told masterfully” - BILLY F. GIBBONS"Lays bare Beck's soul" - THE TELEGRAPH"Admiring but astute … meticulously probes the complicated interplay between reputation, legacy and commercial success" THE TIMES‘My friend and hero’ DAVID GILMOUR‘Inimitable, irreplaceable – the absolute pinnacle’ BRIAN MAY‘One of the all-time greats’ JOHNNY MARR‘His unique style was something no one could match’ PAUL MCCARTNEY‘Jeff Beck was on another planet’ ROD STEWART‘One of the greatest of all time’ NILE RODGERS‘The Salvador Dali of the guitar’ JOE PERRY‘A genius’ JOE SATRIANI‘The chosen one’ STEVE VAIA contender for the G.O.A.T. – the greatest of all time – Jeff Beck left an indelible mark on rock history. His sudden loss in 2023 prompted an outpouring of grief and respect from his peers that only underlined his place in the pantheon of legendary guitar slingers.Not many could have filled the shoes of Eric Clapton in the Yardbirds, but for Beck it only marked the beginning of a trailblazing career that defied expectation and labels. From the wedding pop of Hi Ho Silver Lining through the ground-breaking proto-metal of the Jeff Beck Group, and from the landmark jazz rock recorded of the mid-seventies to the cutting-edge electronica of the 21st century Beck never stood still. Across it all, as he seemed to deliberately swerve the straitjacket of megastardom, his genius as an instrumentalist remained constant.In Blow by Blow, Brad Tolinski and Chris Gill provide fresh insight and understanding into life of one of rock’s most enigmatic heroes. Drawing on nearly thirty hours of interviews with Beck himself, numerous conversations with those closest to him, and extensive new research, they shed light on the man and musician Jimmy Page once said had “shifted the whole sound and face of electric guitar music.”_____________"I’ve read upwards of 20 music books so far this year, and Blow by Blow is by far the best: staggering in its breadth and detail . . . this superb book allows you to dive into history’s greatest rock and roll era . . . Tolinski and Gill have woven together more than 30 hours of interviews, conducted over multiple years, with Beck and his closest friends and collaborators, including Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy and Johnny Depp, about his music and motivations. ""Fine, fine work … skilfully and artfully captures the story of one of the truly great heroes of the guitar: Jeff Beck. Jeff, in a very real way, stands as a gifted artist and innovator who refined his technical skills to a super-detailed, personal point. The same is true of this great book. It’s full of deep insights and takes one into Jeff Beck’s life, mind, and singular artistic brilliance … Beck’s story is the stuff of legends and is told masterfully in this high-volume volume”BILLY F.

His storytelling channels the essence of Soundgarden's era-defining soundone that's supercharged with raw creativity and unapologetic lyricsand explores the ways that Soundgarden was shaped by the diverse backgrounds of its creators: Thayil's Indian heritage and founding bassist Hiro Yamamoto's Japanese background added unique dimensions to the band's identity, influencing not only their music but also their experiences in the industry.
For Soundgarden fans and ';90s alternative rock enthusiasts, A Screaming Life not only gives behind-the-scenes access to one of the most revered bands, but it also demonstrates the power music and its creators have to transform culture.

"Can the book-as-friend be saved? Maybe. Reading Is This It, I found myself hoping so." - New York Times "A graceful eulogy for rock bands, centered on rock's last best hope." - Kirkus ReviewsFrom an acclaimed music critic and author, an in-depth analysis of the rise and fall of rock n' roll through the lens of one of the best albums of the 21st century-The Strokes' Is This It.In 2001, The Strokes broke into the indie alt-rock scene with their debut album Is This It, a work that was supposed to "save" rock music from the evils of nü-metal and teen pop.It did not.Despite the album's countless accolades and acclaim from critics and fans alike, it failed to break into the mainstream like Nevermind did a decade before, and the band never reached as wide an audience as they'd hoped. But then why is it that no other rock band from the 21st century has captured the mystique of The Strokes? And how did a band defined by their repeated failure gain such a transcendent and enduring allure?In Is This It: The Never Ending Rise And Fall Of The Strokes (And Rock 'n' Roll), music critic and author Steven Hyden provides keen insight into The Strokes' tumultuous longevity by turning a socio-cultural and critical lens on their entire career, as well as the careers of their contemporaries: The Killers (more successful but less cool), Kings Of Leon (the southern Strokes), The White Stripes (their friendly rival), The National (the tortoise to The Strokes's hare), and more. Hyden uses The Strokes' classic album Is This It as a vehicle for examining rock's radically changing role in pop culture over the last twenty-five years, and explores how while rock music may rise and fall, it-much like The Strokes-will never die.

A searingly honest memoir from Dexys’ iconic frontman, one of the great mavericks and creative geniuses of British music. At home, the prayerful eight-year-old altar boy was planning to attend college to train to be a priest. Elsewhere, he was thieving, lying, swearing, fighting and rarely out of trouble.In this astonishing memoir, Kevin takes us from the juvenile courts of his troubled teenage years to the early days of the New Romantic scene in the late ’70s. An unwavering passion for music and highly tuned sense of fashion and style ignited an unstoppable drive within him, compelling him down a path that led to his huge chart successes with Dexys Midnight Runners in the early 1980s. However, despite being celebrated as a creative genius, inner turmoil was never far away, and a terrifying series of self-sabotaging events were to follow – including a serious cocaine addiction – leaving him in the wilderness in the 1990s, bankrupt, living in a bedsit, on the dole.Always resilient in the face of adversity, after a massive upheaval Kevin found his way back. He charts his return journey, from shocking audiences with his pioneering embrace of gender fluidity with My Beauty, right through to Dexys’ triumphant appearance at Glastonbury in 2024.Vividly detailed, and with a truly rare degree of self-insight, this is Kevin's own, deeply personal account of an extraordinary life, raw and unvarnished. A remarkable memoir, as compelling and original as you would expect from one of the pioneering icons of music history.
Scafell pike : an English-Swedish musical odyssey
AvThom Britten-Austin,David Hynes
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
388 kr
Skickas
This is the story of a folk rock band called Scafell Pike, The Stockholmbased group, which formed in 1972, originally consisted of three young Englishmen and one Swede. The story begins with the arrival of keyboard player David Hynes at Stockholm Central in the bitter cold of a February evening in 1964, armed with nothing but a suitcase and an oboe. He relates the band’s trajectory from rehearsals in a pub cellar, to cramped stages in bars and clubs, through recording studios to bigger venues and concert tours and to Poland to play and win at the Eastern Bloc’s equivalent of the Eurovision Song Contest. But this was not always a smooth ride. From dizzy heights the band also experienced dismal depths, not least a catastrophic appearance at the Cambridge Folk Festival in 1976. Four young men with music, ambition and no clear plan. What follows is not the familiar story of instant success, but something slower, stranger and more real. From the pubs of Stockholm’s Old Town to the folk parks and festival stages, Scafell Pike built their reputation the hard way: one venue and audience at a time. Their sound, an unlikely blend of English folkmusic and Swedish classics, found an audience where none previously existed. For a few years in the 1970s, they were one of the most distinctive live acts in Sweden. But bands are fragile things. Behind the success lies a world of late-night drives, cash-in-hand deals, shifting management, conflicting ambitions and the slow erosion of certainty. As the music industry changes and new opportunities appear, the band begins to lose its sense of direction. What once held them together, chemistry, instinct and a shared purpose, gradually gives way to doubt, compromise and drift. Told through the voices of those who were there with previously unpublished photographs, this is not a conventional rock biography. It is a portrait of the life of a band as it was actually lived: messy, episodic, often funny, sometimes tragic, and always human. Blending sharp British humour with Scandinavian melancholy, this is more than a rock biography. It is an evocative portrait of a vanished world, of the Scandinavian light, and the enduring power of songs that, for whatever reason, made perfect sense at the time.

Raw Power by Iggy and the Stooges is arguably the most aggressive, dynamic album in rock history, and inarguably one of the most influential. Looking past the myths and into the true story of the Stooges, Michael S. Begnal illuminates the creation of this recording in the context of the cultural zeitgeist of the early 1970s, the American War in Vietnam and the ways in which punk rock came snarling into existence. Death Trip uncovers lost archives and stories, drawing on new interviews with Stooges guitarist James Williamson and pianist Scott Thurston, and sheds fresh light on the band’s creative process. This is an in-depth, definitive account that will challenge the assumptions of even the most knowledgeable Stooges fan.

John Niven'Winningly wry, his sardonic eye enlivens his rollicking memoir' The Guardian'A searingly honest, unstintingly revealing and brutally funny memoir from one of punk's true originals.' Dylan JonesIn the mid 1970's, Marco Pirroni was a shy Kings Road punk kid. He played guitar with a nascent Siouxsie and the Banshees at their debut 100 Club gig in 1976. Future Sex Pistol Sid Vicious could often be found round at Marco's parents with a bag of laundry and a cup of tea. But as the early promise of punk rock's cultural liberation quickly soured, Marco's dreams of proper pop stardom only grew.In a few short years, alongside an ambitious fellow punk survivor called Adam who was also looking to break out of the musical ghetto and onto Top of the Pops, Marco became the musical architect of the global Antmusic phenomenon. By the time he was 21, Marco was the co-writer of the two classic number one singles - ‘Prince Charming’ and the Ivor Novello-winning ‘Stand and Deliver’ - alongside the million selling, idiosyncratic new pop masterpiece 'Kings of the Wild Frontier' and its follow up album 'Prince Charming'. Your Money or Your Life is Marco’s long-overdue and much-anticipated account of his time amidst the maelstrom of Antmania. It chronicles the breakneck period in Pirroni’s life which ends in March 1982, when Adam and the Ants split up amongst heartbreak and acrimony. Revelatory, caustically hilarious and with a cast of the biggest names in entertainment including Liberace, Liza Minelli and David Bowie, Your Money or Your Life is one of the unforgettable music stories of the 1970s and 1980s.

Apter also documents the full story of Goth-pop poster boy Robert Smith's defection to Siouxsie & The Banshees during the Eighties, his wild experimentation with drugs and the eventual reluctant return to The Cure. Finally there is the ultimate account of The Cure's unlikely attainment of superstardom not only on both sides of the Atlantic, but all over the world.

The most spellbinding and diverting portrait of funky-but-chic New York in the late '60s and '70s that any alumnus has committed to print' New York Times‘Render, harrowing, often hilarious' VogueIn 1967, a chance meeting between two young people led to a romance and a lifelong friendship that would carry each to international success never dreamed of. The backdrop is Brooklyn, Chelsea Hotel, Max's Kansas City, Scribner's Bookstore, Coney Island, Warhol's Factory and the whole city resplendent. Among their friends, literary lights, musicians and artists such as Harry Smith, Bobby Neuwirth, Allen Ginsberg, Sandy Daley, Sam Shepherd, William Burroughs, etc. It was a heightened time politically and culturally; the art and music worlds exploding and colliding. In the midst of all this two kids made a pact to always care for one another. Scrappy, romantic, committed to making art, they prodded and provided each other with faith and confidence during the hungry years--the days of cous-cous and lettuce soup. Just Kids begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. Beautifully written, this is a profound portrait of two young artists, often hungry, sated only by art and experience. And an unforgettable portrait of New York, her rich and poor, hustlers and hellions, those who made it and those whose memory lingers near.

Inbunden, Svenska, 2018
380 kr
Brighton 1974. Abba, en okänd grupp från Sverige, vinner Eurovision Song Contest med låten Waterloo. För Anni-Frid (Frida), Benny, Björn och Agnetha blir det början på en enastående framgångssaga. Abba är snart en av världens främsta popgrupper. Hitlåtarna avlöser varandra: Waterloo, Dancing queen, Chiquitita, Super trouper, Fernando, The winner takes it all, Thank you for the music, med flera. Låtar som blivit klassiker! I ABBA The Backstage stories berättar Ingmarie Halling, kostymör under Abbas utlandsturnéer och idag curator på ABBA The Museum, personligt och med glimten i ögat, om de spännande turnéåren och om det som hände backstage; det som ingen berättat om tidigare. Om allt det roliga bakom kulisserna och om de fantastiska kläderna som bidrog till gruppens berömmelse. Journalisten Carl Magnus Palm skildrar Abbas historia, från Ring ring 1973 fram till idag. Och många av alla de som var med – inte minst Frida, Benny, Björn och Agnetha – bidrar med sina minnen. ABBA The Backstage stories är en spännande scrapbook, rikt illustrerad med många privata bilder ur fotoalbumen från de som var med när det hände. Frida, Benny, Björn och Agnetha har också skrivit varsitt personligt förord i boken. Ur Fridas förord: ”Ingmarie, vår vän, vilken härlig dagbok du skrivit om en tid i våra liv som på många sätt formade oss till de personer vi är idag. Det du berättar är en bit musikhistoria där vi alla har varit delaktiga, en ovanlig och kreativ ungdomstid då allt var lätt och kul. Drömmar som blev sanningar och sanningar som blev historia."

"Soltimmar är en lyckad debut, som i genren musikers självbiografier har potential att bli en modern, svensk klassiker." - Gabriel Zetterström, Dagens Nyheter
"Soltimmar är inte en bok som logiskt kan placeras mellan Baez och Boye i biografihyllan, utan snarare nånstans i närheten av Susanna Alakoskis Svinalängorna, kanadensiska Tanya Tagaqs Spricktand och Andrew Waldens Jävla karlar." - Erika Hallhagen, SvD
"I den välskrivna och avväpnande uppriktiga biografin Soltimmar varvar Victoria Bergsman minnesbilder från barndomen ... och ett liv i musikvärlden." - Jan Gradvall, DI
"Sångaren från The Concretes, Taken By Trees och Peter Bjorn & Johns Young folks skriver vackert om en indieprinsessas irrfärder." - Fredrik Strage, EFN
"en gripande berättelse om identitet och att hitta ljuset i en mörk tillvaro." - BTJ
"Artisten Victoria Bergsmans självbiografi hugger tag från första sidan: det här är en berättelse hon måste berätta. Graden av angelägenhet och den formsäkra stilen lyfter boken till något mer än en vanlig musikmemoar." - Hugo Lavett, EFN
"Avslöjande bok om hur sjukt jobbigt det kan vara i musikbranschen - mellan alla himla få magiska höjdpunkter på scen." - Lasse Anrell, Nya Wermlands-Tidningen
Hon är rösten på ”Young Folks”. Kvinnan i New Order-videon. Sångerskan längst fram på Glastonburys scen.
Hon är också barnet som gömmer sig för gubbars bläckfiskarmar, den unga tjejen som navigerar i tillvaron på psyket. Hon är kvinnan som är hög och medvetslös efter en Late Night-spelning, på ett flygplan, på ett hotellrum.
I sin självbiografiska debutbok Soltimmar väver Victoria Bergsman samman barndom, ungdom och vuxenliv. Musiken finns där hela livet. Från pappans egenkomponerade sånger, till den första regndränkta spelningen med The Concretes, turnélivet med Peter Bjorn And Johns världssuccé och ruset i att skapa egen musik med Taken By Trees. Musiken gör allt möjligt, toppar och dalar, framgångar och fritt fall.
Soltimmar är en smått psykedelisk berättelse om ett liv, och alla de jag som ryms i en människa. Den är skriven med en ärlighet så stark att den bränns, och med en humor som svalkar.

"Of all the books I have read on the story of the Velvet Underground, Richie’s is probably the best. He brings us the voices of the people who were also important to those times, but who either go unmentioned, unheard, or not written about in a balanced way. I also like the way he writes, and some of the many reviews of recordings and live shows were insightful in a way l have not come across in the work of anyone else. Bravo, Richie!" Jonathan RichmanNo band has reshaped the possibilities of popular music like The Velvet Underground. Formed in New York in 1965, the Velvets emerged from the nexus of art, fashion, politics, music and counterculture.Although widespread popularity and acclaim evaded them during their four-album lifespan, their enduring, cross-generational appeal meant the Velvets could count iconic contemporaries like Leonard Cohen, David Bowie and Jimi Hendrix as fans, alongside future legends such as Roxy Music, the Pretenders and Sonic Youth.Do What You Fear Most chronicles how an unlikely group of upstarts came to define the musical zeitgeist. In a sprawling and engrossing narrative, Richie Unterberger follows the group from their disparate origins to their ascendancy as Andy Warhol's Factory house band in New York City. It explores the creative alchemy between the core trio of Lou Reed, John Cale and Nico, the shocking exits and ever-changing lineups, as well as the wider New York cultural scene of the period.Rigorously researched and packed with previously undocumented insights, this book features many first-hand interviews with the group's associates, as well as material newly unearthed from the Lou Reed Archive and the Andy Warhol Archive, alongside never-before-seen images and ephemera. This is the most complete story of The Velvet Underground to date.'A tome finally worthy of Lou Reed's gang. Do What You Fear Most is the most comprehensive and compelling yet on the stealthy, stupendously influential band' Record Collector, 5*****

'Our '90s fever dreams were beautiful but they were also brutal and only the good girls, like Melissa, have the guts to tell you that' Shirley Manson'As if through the lens of her camera, Melissa shows us a female experience of rock and roll' Martha Wainwright'Intimate, poetic' Walton GogginsThanks to a thrown beer bottle and a fan letter to a P.O. box, Melissa Auf der Maur's first band scored an opening slot for the Smashing Pumpkins in her bohemian home town, Montreal. Sensing Melissa's talent, Billy Corgan recommended her to Courtney Love. Whisked from her local scene, Melissa joined Hole just after the deaths of Kurt Cobain and Hole's prior bassist, Kristen Pfaff, with the just-widowed Courtney Love at the centre of it all.That was only the beginning of Melissa's journey through alternative rock, a trip she undertook alongside 90s luminaries including Rufus Wainwright, Michael Stipe and her former boyfriend, Dave Grohl. Even the Good Girls Will Cry is a vivid dispatch from the last analogue decade, capturing that bygone era in all its messy, angsty glory.

Gitarristen Kenny Håkansson har med sitt unika spel satt ett betydande avtryck i svensk musik. Likt tusentals tonåringar bildade han i mitten av 1960-talet ett band när den brittiska pop- och rockvågen sköljde in över Sverige. Snart tog han steget vidare och utforskade nyfiket olika musikaliska uttryck, inte minst den svenska folkmusiken.
Som tongivande medlem i band som Baby Grandmothers, Mecki Mark Men, Kebnekajse och Dag Vag befann sig Kenny i centrum för en ny, säregen musik som växte fram i brytpunkten mellan 60- och 70-tal – och som fortfarande lockar nya lyssnare från världens alla hörn.
I bokens historiska berättelse följer Håkan Thörn Kenny Håkanssons musikaliska resa 1965–1980, den svenska progressiva musikens guldålder.
Fotograf Katarina Despotovic skildrar samtidigt Kenny Håkansson som en intensivt turnerande musiker under 2020-talet.
Förordet är skrivet av M. A. Numminen, finsk musiker och språklig ekvilibrist som först såg Kenny spela på Klubb Filips i Stockholm 1967.
Boken är formgiven av Spektra design.

The book asks difficult questions about how great bands survive and thrive over time, many years after their first flush of success. How do you build back up from nothing? How do you reconnect with your audience, while avoiding simply rehashing old ideas? How do relationships in a band change with time? How do you remake Suede?

His sudden loss in 2023 prompted an outpouring of grief and respect from his peers that only underlined his place in the pantheon of legendary guitar slingers.Not many could have filled the shoes of Eric Clapton in the Yardbirds, but for Beck it only marked the beginning of a trailblazing career that defied expectation and labels. From the wedding pop of Hi Ho Silver Lining through the ground-breaking proto-metal of the Jeff Beck Group, and from the landmark jazz rock recorded of the mid-seventies to the cutting-edge electronica of the 21st century Beck never stood still. Across it all, as he seemed to deliberately swerve the straitjacket of megastardom, his genius as an instrumentalist remained constant.In Blow by Blow, Brad Tolinski and Chris Gill provide fresh insight and understanding into life of one of rock’s most enigmatic heroes. Drawing on nearly thirty hours of interviews with Beck himself, numerous conversations with those closest to him, and extensive new research, they shed light on the man and musician Jimmy Page once said had “shifted the whole sound and face of electric guitar music.”_____________"I’ve read upwards of 20 music books so far this year, and Blow by Blow is by far the best: staggering in its breadth and detail . . . this superb book allows you to dive into history’s greatest rock and roll era . . . Tolinski and Gill have woven together more than 30 hours of interviews, conducted over multiple years, with Beck and his closest friends and collaborators, including Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy and Johnny Depp, about his music and motivations. ""Fine, fine work … skilfully and artfully captures the story of one of the truly great heroes of the guitar: Jeff Beck. Jeff, in a very real way, stands as a gifted artist and innovator who refined his technical skills to a super-detailed, personal point. The same is true of this great book. It’s full of deep insights and takes one into Jeff Beck’s life, mind, and singular artistic brilliance … Beck’s story is the stuff of legends and is told masterfully in this high-volume volume”BILLY F.

"Can the book-as-friend be saved? Maybe. Reading Is This It, I found myself hoping so." - New York Times "A graceful eulogy for rock bands, centered on rock's last best hope." - Kirkus ReviewsFrom an acclaimed music critic and author, an in-depth analysis of the rise and fall of rock n' roll through the lens of one of the best albums of the 21st century-The Strokes' Is This It.In 2001, The Strokes broke into the indie alt-rock scene with their debut album Is This It, a work that was supposed to "save" rock music from the evils of nü-metal and teen pop.It did not.Despite the album's countless accolades and acclaim from critics and fans alike, it failed to break into the mainstream like Nevermind did a decade before, and the band never reached as wide an audience as they'd hoped. But then why is it that no other rock band from the 21st century has captured the mystique of The Strokes? And how did a band defined by their repeated failure gain such a transcendent and enduring allure?In Is This It: The Never Ending Rise And Fall Of The Strokes (And Rock 'n' Roll), music critic and author Steven Hyden provides keen insight into The Strokes' tumultuous longevity by turning a socio-cultural and critical lens on their entire career, as well as the careers of their contemporaries: The Killers (more successful but less cool), Kings Of Leon (the southern Strokes), The White Stripes (their friendly rival), The National (the tortoise to The Strokes's hare), and more. Hyden uses The Strokes' classic album Is This It as a vehicle for examining rock's radically changing role in pop culture over the last twenty-five years, and explores how while rock music may rise and fall, it-much like The Strokes-will never die.

A searingly honest memoir from Dexys’ iconic frontman, one of the great mavericks and creative geniuses of British music. At home, the prayerful eight-year-old altar boy was planning to attend college to train to be a priest. Elsewhere, he was thieving, lying, swearing, fighting and rarely out of trouble.In this astonishing memoir, Kevin takes us from the juvenile courts of his troubled teenage years to the early days of the New Romantic scene in the late ’70s. An unwavering passion for music and highly tuned sense of fashion and style ignited an unstoppable drive within him, compelling him down a path that led to his huge chart successes with Dexys Midnight Runners in the early 1980s. However, despite being celebrated as a creative genius, inner turmoil was never far away, and a terrifying series of self-sabotaging events were to follow – including a serious cocaine addiction – leaving him in the wilderness in the 1990s, bankrupt, living in a bedsit, on the dole.Always resilient in the face of adversity, after a massive upheaval Kevin found his way back. He charts his return journey, from shocking audiences with his pioneering embrace of gender fluidity with My Beauty, right through to Dexys’ triumphant appearance at Glastonbury in 2024.Vividly detailed, and with a truly rare degree of self-insight, this is Kevin's own, deeply personal account of an extraordinary life, raw and unvarnished. A remarkable memoir, as compelling and original as you would expect from one of the pioneering icons of music history.
Scafell pike : an English-Swedish musical odyssey
AvThom Britten-Austin,David Hynes
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
388 kr
Skickas
This is the story of a folk rock band called Scafell Pike, The Stockholmbased group, which formed in 1972, originally consisted of three young Englishmen and one Swede. The story begins with the arrival of keyboard player David Hynes at Stockholm Central in the bitter cold of a February evening in 1964, armed with nothing but a suitcase and an oboe. He relates the band’s trajectory from rehearsals in a pub cellar, to cramped stages in bars and clubs, through recording studios to bigger venues and concert tours and to Poland to play and win at the Eastern Bloc’s equivalent of the Eurovision Song Contest. But this was not always a smooth ride. From dizzy heights the band also experienced dismal depths, not least a catastrophic appearance at the Cambridge Folk Festival in 1976. Four young men with music, ambition and no clear plan. What follows is not the familiar story of instant success, but something slower, stranger and more real. From the pubs of Stockholm’s Old Town to the folk parks and festival stages, Scafell Pike built their reputation the hard way: one venue and audience at a time. Their sound, an unlikely blend of English folkmusic and Swedish classics, found an audience where none previously existed. For a few years in the 1970s, they were one of the most distinctive live acts in Sweden. But bands are fragile things. Behind the success lies a world of late-night drives, cash-in-hand deals, shifting management, conflicting ambitions and the slow erosion of certainty. As the music industry changes and new opportunities appear, the band begins to lose its sense of direction. What once held them together, chemistry, instinct and a shared purpose, gradually gives way to doubt, compromise and drift. Told through the voices of those who were there with previously unpublished photographs, this is not a conventional rock biography. It is a portrait of the life of a band as it was actually lived: messy, episodic, often funny, sometimes tragic, and always human. Blending sharp British humour with Scandinavian melancholy, this is more than a rock biography. It is an evocative portrait of a vanished world, of the Scandinavian light, and the enduring power of songs that, for whatever reason, made perfect sense at the time.

Raw Power by Iggy and the Stooges is arguably the most aggressive, dynamic album in rock history, and inarguably one of the most influential. Looking past the myths and into the true story of the Stooges, Michael S. Begnal illuminates the creation of this recording in the context of the cultural zeitgeist of the early 1970s, the American War in Vietnam and the ways in which punk rock came snarling into existence. Death Trip uncovers lost archives and stories, drawing on new interviews with Stooges guitarist James Williamson and pianist Scott Thurston, and sheds fresh light on the band’s creative process. This is an in-depth, definitive account that will challenge the assumptions of even the most knowledgeable Stooges fan.

'An utterly essential purchase 9/10' Classic Rock'Hilarious, touching and essential 4/5' Classic Pop'Fascinating, funny, colourful and completely riveting. Highly recommended' Gary Crowley'Dry, laconic and hilarious. Much like you’d imagine the man himself.' John Niven'Winningly wry, his sardonic eye enlivens his rollicking memoir' The Guardian'A searingly honest, unstintingly revealing and brutally funny memoir from one of punk's true originals.' Dylan JonesIn the mid 1970's, Marco Pirroni was a shy Kings Road punk kid. He played guitar with a nascent Siouxsie and the Banshees at their debut 100 Club gig in 1976. Future Sex Pistol Sid Vicious could often be found round at Marco's parents with a bag of laundry and a cup of tea. But as the early promise of punk rock's cultural liberation quickly soured, Marco's dreams of proper pop stardom only grew.In a few short years, alongside an ambitious fellow punk survivor called Adam who was also looking to break out of the musical ghetto and onto Top of the Pops, Marco became the musical architect of the global Antmusic phenomenon. By the time he was 21, Marco was the co-writer of the two classic number one singles - ‘Prince Charming’ and the Ivor Novello-winning ‘Stand and Deliver’ - alongside the million selling, idiosyncratic new pop masterpiece 'Kings of the Wild Frontier' and its follow up album 'Prince Charming'. Your Money or Your Life is Marco’s long-overdue and much-anticipated account of his time amidst the maelstrom of Antmania. It chronicles the breakneck period in Pirroni’s life which ends in March 1982, when Adam and the Ants split up amongst heartbreak and acrimony. Revelatory, caustically hilarious and with a cast of the biggest names in entertainment including Liberace, Liza Minelli and David Bowie, Your Money or Your Life is one of the unforgettable music stories of the 1970s and 1980s.

Never Enough is the definitive biography of classic post-punk survivors The Cure. Author Jeff Apter traces their roots from middle-class Crawley, Sussex, documenting in detail their gradual rise to fame. On the way he reveals how their first "major" album, Pornography, almost ended the band's career before it began.
Apter also documents the full story of Goth-pop poster boy Robert Smith's defection to Siouxsie & The Banshees during the Eighties, his wild experimentation with drugs and the eventual reluctant return to The Cure. Finally there is the ultimate account of The Cure's unlikely attainment of superstardom not only on both sides of the Atlantic, but all over the world.
Compiled from dozens of interviews, including exclusive (and frank) discussions with co-founders Lol Tolhurst and Michael Dempsey and various current and former members of the Cure, Never Enough casts new light on the career of this enigmatic band and their mercurial leader Robert Smith.
Including many photographs and a comprehensive discography.

Winner of the Non-Fiction National Book Award Patti Smith's definitive memoir is an evocative, honest and moving coming-of-age story of her extraordinary relationship with the artist Robert Mapplethorpe.‘Sharp, elegiac and finely crafted' Sunday Times‘Terrifically evocative ... The most spellbinding and diverting portrait of funky-but-chic New York in the late '60s and '70s that any alumnus has committed to print' New York Times‘Render, harrowing, often hilarious' VogueIn 1967, a chance meeting between two young people led to a romance and a lifelong friendship that would carry each to international success never dreamed of. The backdrop is Brooklyn, Chelsea Hotel, Max's Kansas City, Scribner's Bookstore, Coney Island, Warhol's Factory and the whole city resplendent. Among their friends, literary lights, musicians and artists such as Harry Smith, Bobby Neuwirth, Allen Ginsberg, Sandy Daley, Sam Shepherd, William Burroughs, etc. It was a heightened time politically and culturally; the art and music worlds exploding and colliding. In the midst of all this two kids made a pact to always care for one another. Scrappy, romantic, committed to making art, they prodded and provided each other with faith and confidence during the hungry years--the days of cous-cous and lettuce soup. Just Kids begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. Beautifully written, this is a profound portrait of two young artists, often hungry, sated only by art and experience. And an unforgettable portrait of New York, her rich and poor, hustlers and hellions, those who made it and those whose memory lingers near.

'Mightily entertaining' - Heat People ask me how come I'm still alive, and I don't know what to say. When I was growing up, if you'd have put me up against a wall with the other kids from my street and asked me which one of us was gonna make it to the age of sixty, with five kids and four grandkids and houses in Buckinghamshire and California, I wouldn't have put money on me, no f**king way. But here I am: ready to tell my story, in my own words, for the first time. A lot of it ain't gonna be pretty. I've done some bad things in my time. But I ain't the devil. I'm just John Osbourne: a working class kid from Aston, who quit his job in the factory and went looking for a good time.
ABBA The Backstage stories

Brighton 1974. Abba, en okänd grupp från Sverige, vinner Eurovision Song Contest med låten Waterloo. För Anni-Frid (Frida), Benny, Björn och Agnetha blir det början på en enastående framgångssaga. Abba är snart en av världens främsta popgrupper. Hitlåtarna avlöser varandra: Waterloo, Dancing queen, Chiquitita, Super trouper, Fernando, The winner takes it all, Thank you for the music, med flera. Låtar som blivit klassiker! I ABBA The Backstage stories berättar Ingmarie Halling, kostymör under Abbas utlandsturnéer och idag curator på ABBA The Museum, personligt och med glimten i ögat, om de spännande turnéåren och om det som hände backstage; det som ingen berättat om tidigare. Om allt det roliga bakom kulisserna och om de fantastiska kläderna som bidrog till gruppens berömmelse. Journalisten Carl Magnus Palm skildrar Abbas historia, från Ring ring 1973 fram till idag. Och många av alla de som var med – inte minst Frida, Benny, Björn och Agnetha – bidrar med sina minnen. ABBA The Backstage stories är en spännande scrapbook, rikt illustrerad med många privata bilder ur fotoalbumen från de som var med när det hände. Frida, Benny, Björn och Agnetha har också skrivit varsitt personligt förord i boken. Ur Fridas förord: ”Ingmarie, vår vän, vilken härlig dagbok du skrivit om en tid i våra liv som på många sätt formade oss till de personer vi är idag. Det du berättar är en bit musikhistoria där vi alla har varit delaktiga, en ovanlig och kreativ ungdomstid då allt var lätt och kul. Drömmar som blev sanningar och sanningar som blev historia."

"Soltimmar är en lyckad debut, som i genren musikers självbiografier har potential att bli en modern, svensk klassiker." - Gabriel Zetterström, Dagens Nyheter
"Soltimmar är inte en bok som logiskt kan placeras mellan Baez och Boye i biografihyllan, utan snarare nånstans i närheten av Susanna Alakoskis Svinalängorna, kanadensiska Tanya Tagaqs Spricktand och Andrew Waldens Jävla karlar." - Erika Hallhagen, SvD
"I den välskrivna och avväpnande uppriktiga biografin Soltimmar varvar Victoria Bergsman minnesbilder från barndomen ... och ett liv i musikvärlden." - Jan Gradvall, DI
"Sångaren från The Concretes, Taken By Trees och Peter Bjorn & Johns Young folks skriver vackert om en indieprinsessas irrfärder." - Fredrik Strage, EFN
"en gripande berättelse om identitet och att hitta ljuset i en mörk tillvaro." - BTJ
"Artisten Victoria Bergsmans självbiografi hugger tag från första sidan: det här är en berättelse hon måste berätta. Graden av angelägenhet och den formsäkra stilen lyfter boken till något mer än en vanlig musikmemoar." - Hugo Lavett, EFN
"Avslöjande bok om hur sjukt jobbigt det kan vara i musikbranschen - mellan alla himla få magiska höjdpunkter på scen." - Lasse Anrell, Nya Wermlands-Tidningen
Hon är rösten på ”Young Folks”. Kvinnan i New Order-videon. Sångerskan längst fram på Glastonburys scen.
Hon är också barnet som gömmer sig för gubbars bläckfiskarmar, den unga tjejen som navigerar i tillvaron på psyket. Hon är kvinnan som är hög och medvetslös efter en Late Night-spelning, på ett flygplan, på ett hotellrum.
I sin självbiografiska debutbok Soltimmar väver Victoria Bergsman samman barndom, ungdom och vuxenliv. Musiken finns där hela livet. Från pappans egenkomponerade sånger, till den första regndränkta spelningen med The Concretes, turnélivet med Peter Bjorn And Johns världssuccé och ruset i att skapa egen musik med Taken By Trees. Musiken gör allt möjligt, toppar och dalar, framgångar och fritt fall.
Soltimmar är en smått psykedelisk berättelse om ett liv, och alla de jag som ryms i en människa. Den är skriven med en ärlighet så stark att den bränns, och med en humor som svalkar.

"Of all the books I have read on the story of the Velvet Underground, Richie’s is probably the best. He brings us the voices of the people who were also important to those times, but who either go unmentioned, unheard, or not written about in a balanced way. I also like the way he writes, and some of the many reviews of recordings and live shows were insightful in a way l have not come across in the work of anyone else. Bravo, Richie!" Jonathan RichmanNo band has reshaped the possibilities of popular music like The Velvet Underground. Formed in New York in 1965, the Velvets emerged from the nexus of art, fashion, politics, music and counterculture.Although widespread popularity and acclaim evaded them during their four-album lifespan, their enduring, cross-generational appeal meant the Velvets could count iconic contemporaries like Leonard Cohen, David Bowie and Jimi Hendrix as fans, alongside future legends such as Roxy Music, the Pretenders and Sonic Youth.Do What You Fear Most chronicles how an unlikely group of upstarts came to define the musical zeitgeist. In a sprawling and engrossing narrative, Richie Unterberger follows the group from their disparate origins to their ascendancy as Andy Warhol's Factory house band in New York City. It explores the creative alchemy between the core trio of Lou Reed, John Cale and Nico, the shocking exits and ever-changing lineups, as well as the wider New York cultural scene of the period.Rigorously researched and packed with previously undocumented insights, this book features many first-hand interviews with the group's associates, as well as material newly unearthed from the Lou Reed Archive and the Andy Warhol Archive, alongside never-before-seen images and ephemera. This is the most complete story of The Velvet Underground to date.'A tome finally worthy of Lou Reed's gang. Do What You Fear Most is the most comprehensive and compelling yet on the stealthy, stupendously influential band' Record Collector, 5*****

'Our '90s fever dreams were beautiful but they were also brutal and only the good girls, like Melissa, have the guts to tell you that' Shirley Manson'As if through the lens of her camera, Melissa shows us a female experience of rock and roll' Martha Wainwright'Intimate, poetic' Walton GogginsThanks to a thrown beer bottle and a fan letter to a P.O. box, Melissa Auf der Maur's first band scored an opening slot for the Smashing Pumpkins in her bohemian home town, Montreal. Sensing Melissa's talent, Billy Corgan recommended her to Courtney Love. Whisked from her local scene, Melissa joined Hole just after the deaths of Kurt Cobain and Hole's prior bassist, Kristen Pfaff, with the just-widowed Courtney Love at the centre of it all.That was only the beginning of Melissa's journey through alternative rock, a trip she undertook alongside 90s luminaries including Rufus Wainwright, Michael Stipe and her former boyfriend, Dave Grohl. Even the Good Girls Will Cry is a vivid dispatch from the last analogue decade, capturing that bygone era in all its messy, angsty glory.

Gitarristen Kenny Håkansson har med sitt unika spel satt ett betydande avtryck i svensk musik. Likt tusentals tonåringar bildade han i mitten av 1960-talet ett band när den brittiska pop- och rockvågen sköljde in över Sverige. Snart tog han steget vidare och utforskade nyfiket olika musikaliska uttryck, inte minst den svenska folkmusiken.
Som tongivande medlem i band som Baby Grandmothers, Mecki Mark Men, Kebnekajse och Dag Vag befann sig Kenny i centrum för en ny, säregen musik som växte fram i brytpunkten mellan 60- och 70-tal – och som fortfarande lockar nya lyssnare från världens alla hörn.
I bokens historiska berättelse följer Håkan Thörn Kenny Håkanssons musikaliska resa 1965–1980, den svenska progressiva musikens guldålder.
Fotograf Katarina Despotovic skildrar samtidigt Kenny Håkansson som en intensivt turnerande musiker under 2020-talet.
Förordet är skrivet av M. A. Numminen, finsk musiker och språklig ekvilibrist som först såg Kenny spela på Klubb Filips i Stockholm 1967.
Boken är formgiven av Spektra design.
