The tale that follows is not another cliched collection of
rock'n'roll debaucheries (sorry) nor is it another tired fable of
triumph over adversity (you're welcome). It's the story of a
half-deaf kid from a tiny, remote village in South Wales who was
hailed as a genius by the UK's biggest radio station and headhunted
by major record labels, only for the music industry to collapse. It
crashed hard, taking with it an entire generation of talented
artists who would never now get their shot. CNN called it 'music's
lost decade'. Along the way, there are goodies, baddies, gun-toting
label execs, life-saving surgeons, therapy, true love, loyalty,
hope, breakdowns, suicidal managers, betrayal, drummers and way too
many hangovers. James Kennedy shows that the best lessons are to be
learned from good losers. It really is all about the journey. Part
memoir, part expose of the music world's murky underbelly, Noise
Damage is emotional, painfully honest, funny, informative and
ridiculous. It's also a celebration of the life-changing magic of
music.
