The Scream

This biography of Primal Scream, by infamous rock journalist Kris Needs, tells the real story of one of the few remaining bands genuinely devoted to the rock'n'roll lifestyle. At its peak on the road, Primal Scream's special brand of chaos has been witnessed by the author, who has accompanied them on most of their major tours. He has incorporated his experiences with the band into a fly-on-the-wall testimony for the book, resulting in much more than a conventional biography. Alongside this, Needs lays bare the band's raison d'être - the music - exploring their influences and roots via a series of exclusive interviews with the band members themselves.
