About the Author:

Joe Ambrose has written Moshpit Culture (Omnibus Press), an investigation of the covert world of punk and hardcore moshpits. He co-wrote Man From Nowhere, which has texts by Iggy Pop, Marianne Faithfull and Keith Haring. He is the author of two critically acclaimed novels, Serious Time and Too Much Too Soon. He divides his time between New York's Chelsea Hotel, London and Tangier.

Review:

'...a more sophisticated deconstruction of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, in which Joe Ambrose maintains a critical, if not completely disapproving, distance from his subject. But still manages to cram more depravity into one book than anyone since Motley Crue.'
