Fantastic book, I can’t recommend it enough. I assumed I would know just about everything, but that was not the case at all
i knew most, but it was cool to get confirmation from the people themselves, especially the stuff about paramore & brand new. but nonetheless agreed it was a fantastic read!
Interesting that the paperback is more expensive than the hardcover... I just started the book this weekend. Loving it so far!
Brilliant book. I actually finished it last week. I really enjoyed the opening section and discovered some of the late 90s bands I wasn’t familiar with. Even though there was basically only Paramore and Underoath who I listened to back then (and still do), I still found every part of the book fascinating. I would definitely recommend it.
saw it in the bookstore over the weekend and picked it up. Great read. Wish there were direct interviews with some of the guys in Brand New, but looks like it's all members from other bands or A&R guys talking about them. I was never really into FOB and that stuff is really interesting, just how committed Wentz was to being big, but coming from a pretty punk background
