Sick on you : the disastrous story of Britain's great lost punk band

Books
The Hollywood Brats are the greatest band you've never heard of. Recording one near-perfect punk album in 1974, they were tragically ahead of their time. With only a guitar, a tatty copy of the 'Melody Maker' and his template for the perfect band, Andrew Matheson set out, in 1971, to make musical history. His band were pre-punk prophets - uncompromising, ultra-thin, wild, untameable, and outrageous. But thrown into the crazy world of the 1970s London music scene, the Brats ultimately fell foul of the crooks and heavies that ran it and an industry that just wasn't ready for them.
