Noise Damage
Indefatigable Welsh misfit’s entertaining memoir of underachievement.
James Kennedy UNDERDOG
In theory, there’s no reason for anyone to pick up the autobiography of a not particularly famous aspiring rock musician and read about his decades of struggle. But there’s something that keeps you turning the pages of Noise Damage, even though its author has already admitted that there will be no Hollywood ending. That’s chiefly thanks to his ebullient writing style, along with some hard-earned, hungover wisdom that starry-eyed hopefuls everywhere could do with a sobering dose of, along with the fizzing sense of joy Kennedy evokes from the moments that make the toiletcircuit slog worthwhile.
