Bringing together the best writings from Australia's street press, this collection pays homage to the last 25 years of rock 'n' roll. Many of the pieces included come from the pages of Time Off, the first free music weekly in Australia, which began in 1979 and is still going strong today. Maintaining a fiercely independent tone, this book is loaded with fresh insights into artists such as Powderfinger, Nick Cave, the Arctic Monkeys, and Crowded House. Readers will be entertained with obscure and often comic anecdotes, like the time when Kurt Cobain sprained his wrist diving into Dave Grohl's drum kit. With more than 80 interviews included, this volume features both Australian and international acts, from megastars to fledgling bands on the cusp of greatness, as it charts the evolution of rock music in Australia.
