Kind : ebook

(0 ratings)
In 1989, the Stone Roses exploded onto the music scene at the forefront of a new wave of music from Manchester.

The Roses' music – an exhilarating mixture of  sixties' pop, rock and dance – made them the UK's most talked-about group, while their first album, 'The Stone Roses', is now revered as of the finest debuts of all time.

The band's flared trousers, baggy T-shirts and floppy fringes were copied by a generation, and their 1999 gig at Spike Island in front of 30,000 people became legendary.

Then, with the world at their feed, and a multi-million dollar record contract signed… The Stone Roses disappeared. 'Breaking Into Heaven' is the most complete account of The Stone Roses' story ever published, including…

- Interviews with some of those closest to the band, including their ex-manager Gareth Evans.
- The full story behind the delayed release of 'Second Coming'.
- A full run-down of post-Roses activities. - A complete discography, including solo releases.
