Book excerpt: 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 excerpt: This book details the origins of the names of 240 musical acts, focusing on the most popular groups (and a few individual performers) from the 1960s through today. Even casual music fans will recognize almost all of the acts discussed. A few one-hit wonders are included simply because their name is so unusual (Mungo Jerry, for example) that they warrant a place in the study. Each entry focuses on the meaning and/or origin of the act's name, what it had been called previously, and any other names that were considered and rejected during the naming process. Also included are facts and figures about the act's history and place in the rock music pantheon, the year the act was formed, the names of original members and later members of note and the act's best known hit. The book lists bands alphabetically to give the casual reader the opportunity to open it to any page and read at leisure, the historian the ability to easily pinpoint the subject of his or her research, or the die-hard rock fan the chance to learn from A to Z the name origins of the biggest acts in rock and pop music history.

Book excerpt: 'Steve beautifully communicates his vulnerabilities in his music -- he does the same in this powerful story' Niall Breslin As lead singer and songwriter of hugely successful Irish rock band Kodaline, Steve Garrigan plays to thousands of fans worldwide - his business is being in the spotlight. But, for years, Steve was privately battling his own demons. High Hopes is a deeply personal memoir about how everyone carries a story. In his down-to-earth and often humorous style, Steve takes us from his childhood growing up in Dublin and the shyness that only dissolved in front of a microphone, to the highs of rock star success touring and playing stadiums, and the lows of anxiety, depression and panic attacks. Ultimately, his story describes how it is only by learning to share our deepest vulnerability - embracing all aspects of our true selves - that we can work through darkness and ultimately find freedom.
