Rage Against The Machine changed the shape of music with their rampant self-titled debut album in 1992. Here was a politically charged troupe who took advantage of major label backing yet spoke out on issues that few stars in the spotlight dared to - never afraid to insist their message was just as important as the music. The sales came in the millions and critical acclaim besieged them...until De La Rocha left the band in 2000. Instead of attempting to replace the inimitable orator, Morello and Co. threw a curveball and hired ex-Soundgarden throat Chris Cornell to create a new band - Audioslave. Yet there was always the genius of Rage Against The Machine in the background and in 2007 the band reformed with De La Rocha included. Millions have waited a long time to see the spectacle unfold once again. This is the story of how a Harvard graduate and a poetic activist welded together, along with several capable cohorts, to create a bastion of youth revival and change through the medium of their striking, innovative material; a glutton of musical riches which continues to amaze and inspire today.

Over the last twenty years football has increasingly become about one thing over all else—money. This is no secret or revelation, but just how deeply this scourge is affecting the game and how ridiculous most clubs spending has become is, for the first time, revealed in dynamic detail within the pages of Waste Of Money! Veteran writer Paul Stenning examines the biggest spending and the biggest blunders within the beautiful game. He also trawls the sordid recent history of individuals and clubs whose financial records make for intriguing, amusing, and sometimes disgusting reading.
My Chemical Romance emerged from New Jersey in the aftermath of the 9/11 atrocity to become the standard bearers for a new fusion of punk, glam and emo. After steadily building a committed and enthusiastic following on the back of their first two albums, 'I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love' (2002) and 'Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge' (2004), MCR achieved global prominence in 2006 with the release of their platinum selling album 'Welcome To The Black Parade'. Followed by Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys (2010). Until their disbandment in 2013, MCR toured extensively throughout the world, adding to their widespread fan base with incendiary, sold-out live shows that established the quintet as the emerging force in alternative rock. 'This Band Will Save Your Life' tells the definitive story of the groundbreaking band; examining their influences and ethos and charting their rise from obscurity to the apex of the post millennial rock pantheon.
