Recenzii
“Fun, funny and useful.” — The Guardian (UK)
“The life of a band is hardly easy, which is why Julian Ridgway should be awarded a medal for showing us that there is actually a way to survive ourselves. So, before you hire the dude from the Metallica movie, do yourself a favor: Read this book.” — Leslie Simon and Trevor Kelley, author of Everybody Hurts: An Essential Guide to Emo Culture
“History — and Spinal Tap — shows us that joining a rock’n’roll band is a terrible idea. Bandalism lays bare the long, bleak lows and brief, glorious highs of rock’n’roll life with wit and verve.” — Will Hodgkinson, author of SONG MAN and GUITAR MAN
“How many musical icons’ bands have been plagued by ‘communication issues’? Avoid your band doing the same by reading Ridgway’s witty book.” — The List (UK)
