Lomas, Ross
City Baby: Surviving in Leather, Bristles, Studs, Punk Rock, and G.B.H.
Bazillion Points
***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. Grab a seat in the van, and prepare for a thirty-year odyssey, filled, beer by beer, with sick boys, maniacs, big women, fireworks, kindly old war veterans, baby carriages, and friendship. Heavily illustrated 304-page high quality paperback.
