Fifteen young adult authors and one real-life rock star band together for one epic—and interconnected—take on a memorable high school rite of passage. A daughter of rock ’n’ roll royalty has a secret crush. A lonely ticket taker worries about his sister. An almost-famous songwriter nurses old wounds. A stage manager tires of being behind the scenes. A singer-songwriter struggles to untangle her feelings for her best friend and his girlfriend.

Book Description
Award-winning, veteran music journalist Bart Bull has created a one-of-a-kind book and compiled the most colorful, clever, obscure, and unusual band names of the past fifty years. Broken down into 37 highly-designed chapters, Bull covers the worlds of Ska, Surf, Hip Hop, Punk, Country, Psychedelia, New Wave, and Heavy Metal alongside more creative categories of Tribute Bands, Girl Groups, Japanese Bands with English names and artists with colors or places in their title, and most daringly, the Best and Worst band names of all time. The books free-styling flow is irresistible as one band name trips gracelessly over another from Sublime to The Ridiculous Poodles and on to The Ultimate Spinach, from Head East to True West, from Frankie Goes To Hollywood to the New York Dolls and on to Barbie and the Rockers and their hardcore arch-rivals, Jem and The Holograms.This jam-packed musical stream of consciousness is a perfect gift for music or language lovers as well as fans of cutting-edge graphic design.

Book Description
A first-hand account of the Falklands War from the perspective of the Royal Marine Band Service members who fought in the conflict. The Royal Marines are renowned for their military skill and also for having one of the finest military bands in the world. These highly trained and talented musicians are equally at home parading at Buckingham Palace, playing at the Royal Albert Hall, or on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier in a foreign port. Why then when the Argentines invaded the Falklands in April 1982 did these superb musicians get involved in what became a serious and deadly military campaign? The answer is that, in addition to their musical expertise, the RM Band Service members are trained for military service and fully qualified in a multitude of military and medical skills, providing support to their comrades, the fighting commandos. The Band That Went to War is a graphic first-hand account of the Falklands War as it has never been told before. It describes the roles played by Royal Marine musicians in the conflict; unloading the wounded from helicopters, moving tons of stores and ammunition, burying their dead at sea and guarding and repatriating Argentine prisoners of war. These and other unseen tasks were achieved while still ready to provide morale boosting music to their commando brethren and other frontline troops. These men are not just musicians; they are Royal Marines. Praise for The Band That Went to War “I really enjoyed this account of how the Band of the Royal Marines were involved in the attempt to liberate the Falkland Islands back in 1982 . . . Brian Short’s excellent book is really entertaining.” —Books Monthly
