| Notes | Controversial, incisive and brutally honest – Outside View is original punk stalwart, Andy Blade’s inside view of a turbulent and raucous rock ‘n’ roll life. Explosive, darkly comic in places, scathingly observant and unflinching in telling it how it really was, Outside View is both refreshing and illuminating in its delivery and style. Chronicling Andy’s schoolboy adventures of mayhem, mishaps and mischief to Sparks and Be Bop Deluxe obsessions along the way; the advent of the Sex Pistols and punk arrives simultaneously with the recently formed Eater and so rescuing Andy from a future of troubled dysfunctional family issues and an immorally corrupt educational system. The subsequent highs and lows of a secret punk rock life speed by in an amphetamine blaze of euphoria and the inevitable comedown to follow, as Eater ride the wave of a musical revolution where anything seemed possible. The bands, musicians, managers, clubs and the movers and shakers of the era all feature in a no-holds barred, myth destroying, and highly personal account of life on the front line of punk. Andy Blade’s story is a life of sex, drugs and ripped ‘n torn rock ‘n’ roll told with a relentless vigour and self-depreciating humour rarely present in music themed biographies. |
