New book! Preorder ‘City Baby’, the hilarious/harrowing G.B.H. memoir by Ross Lomas

New book! Preorder ‘City Baby’, the hilarious/harrowing G.B.H. memoir by Ross Lomas
Salad Days

Teenage punk rock milkman Ross Lomas strapped on a bass and joined G.B.H. onstage in 1981.

Leading the charge of U.K. hardcore punk, G.B.H. lit up British pubs, European squats, and American highways with a wall of sound and mile-high spikes. Living by his own rules, for better or for worse, Ross Lomas riots with violent skinheads, metal hippies, rip-off managers, Neil Sedaka, and the Argentine cavalry, and tries to make sense of adulthood. Ross and his G.B.H. family don’t escape unscathed, but they never surrender.
