LIVRE : Days And Days - A Story about Sunderland's Leatherface. ( PRÉVENTE )
** C'est une prévente, le livre sort en Novembre. Les livres seront envoyé à ce moment.
C'est la biographie de Leatherface un de mes groupes préférés.
C'est un groupe méga influent qui à influencé beaucoup de groupes ( dont les nôtres ) qui sont devenus beaucoup plus big que eux, notamment Hot Water Music, Gaslight Anthem, Against Me! ou Dillinger Four et autres groupes post-punk mélodique aux voix éraillés.
J'ai eu la chance de jouer souvent avec eux, et de pleurer devant le stage en écoutant leurs magnifiques chansons.
En plus, j'ai eu la chance de jouer avec 2 des membres dans Medictation et je prévois collaborer avec eux encore dans le futur. Parce que c'est un vrai rêve.
Description en anglais:
DAYS AND DAYS weaves together two stories. One is a tale of friendship and self-discovery that occurs during a backpacking adventure through England, Scotland, and Ireland. The other celebrates the highly influential yet underestimated UK band Leatherface, a group that The Guardian called 'the greatest British punk band of the modern era.'
Without so much as a single hostel booked, Chris MacDonald and his friend Jason cross the Atlantic. They sleep in train stations, endure a haunting on top of a volcano in Edinburgh, are driven out of Belfast by the IRA, and witness the mother of all storms. They also find themselves in the rehearsal space of their teenage punk idols, a building steeped in cultural significance for the Sunderland music scene.
DAYS AND DAYS is about the silver thread that connects us even after drifting apart. It's a story about forgiveness and reflection, how beauty can be found within callous cladding. Leatherface band members, colleagues, and friends generously share personal insights that guide the reader
Chris MacDonald is a writer and tattoo artist based in Toronto. His first book, The Things I Came Here With (ECW, 2022), was called 'a heartfelt memoir with wide appeal' by Library Journal and was nominated for the 2023 Heritage Toronto Book Award.
