This is the second novel by Tim Thornton and again it deals with the less glamorous side of the music industry. Most rock bands that exist are crap and fail to thrive. I know. I've been in a couple.
Thornton captures the personalities and lifestyles of musicians in unsigned bands perfectly. I cringed as I read the book and I recognised several characters.
'Death of an unsigned band' is about growing up, leaving adolescence behind and deciding to do something worthwhile with your life. That's kinda what I did when I was 21 and I decided to stop fucking about in bands and go to medical school. I liked this book.
