"The Stone Roses "captures the magic--and chaos--behind the UK
band's rise, fall, and recent resurrection.
The iconic Brit pop band The Stone Roses became an overnight
sensation when their 1989 eponymous album went double platinum. It
was a recording that is still often listed as one of the best
albums ever made. Its chiming guitar riffs, anthemic""melodies, and
Smiths-like pop sensibility elevated The Stone Roses to a cult-like
status in the UK and put them on the map in the U.S. But theirs is
a story of unfulfilled success: their star imploded as their
sophomore effort took years to complete and the band broke up
acrimoniously in 1996. Sixteen years later, they reunited and have
been playing sold out gigs, thrilling fans around the globe, and
working on new material. In 2013, they nabbed the coveted headline
spot at the Coachella Festival.
With one hundred interviews of key figures, forty rare photographs,
and exclusive insider material including how they created their
music, "The Stone Roses "charts the band's rise from the backwaters
of Manchester to becoming the stars of the "Madchester" scene to
their successful comeback years later. Going beyond the myths to
depict a band that defined Brit pop, Simon Spence illustrates their
incandescent talent and jaw-dropping success while contextualizing
them in the 90s music scene. This "is" the definitive story of The
Stone Roses.
